The KTM 400 LC4 EGS is a dual-sport motorcycle that’s been a stalwart in our lineup for a few years now, and for good reason. Its 610cc single-cylinder engine provides a potent mix of low-end torque and high-end horsepower, making it an excellent choice for riders who want to tackle everything from tight singletrack to longer highway excursions.
The 400’s engine character is perhaps its most compelling aspect, with a smooth, linear power delivery that’s perfect for navigating technical terrain. And with the inclusion of the E/XC-style racing suspension, this bike is a revelation on rough terrain, soaking up bumps and absorbing shock with ease.
But don’t be fooled – the KTM 400 LC4 EGS is no slouch on the highway either, with plenty of oomph to get up to speed and stay there. Its chassis is stable and planted, making it an excellent choice for long-distance touring or commuting. With its comfortable ergonomics and ample storage, this bike is ready to take on whatever your riding style throws its way. And with its affordable price point, it’s an excellent value in the dual-sport market, making it a top pick for anyone looking for a capable and versatile machine.
