Features and Benefits |
 |
Cylinder
The cylinder of the 250 XC is
fitted with a sophisticated TVC (Twin Valve Control) power
valve, providing adjustable power characteristics. The power
character can be changed within a few seconds thanks to two
supplied springs for different tracks and rider preference. |
|
Clutch
The KTM DDS (Damped Diaphragm
Steel) clutch is fitted with a diaphragm spring, which allows
implementation of an internal rubber damping system. Together
with a lightweight steel basket and the Brembo hydraulic system
the DDS clutch offers maximum reliability, excellent modulation
and light lever pull. |
|
Carburetor
The 250 XC is fitted with a
proven Mikuni TMX 38 carburetor producing the perfect air-fuel
mixture. For extreme temperature or altitude the setting can be
tuned with supplied jets and needles according to a setting list
in the manual. |
|
Engine
The powerful KTM 250 XC engine
unites an unbeatable power-to-weight ratio with outstanding
performance and extremely easy handling. |
|
 |
Frame
The modern frame design of the
250 XC, comprised of lightweight, high strength,
chrome-molybdenum steel section tubes, combines maximum
longitudinal stiffness with optimum torsional stiffness. |
|
Linkage/Shock Absorber
The linkage system of the 250 XC
features a progressive curve with a high initial rate ensuring
good stability. The high-end WP 5018 shock absorber guarantees
outstanding response and damping characteristics. Compression
and rebound damping can be adjusted to the track conditions and
the rider's preferences. |
|
Fork
The XC model range features the
48mm WP AER 48 fork. The setting has been specifically developed
for racing cross-country in the US. The forks can be easily
adjusted for compression and rebound via the dials on the top of
the fork tubes. |
|
Triple Clamps
Top quality, CNC-machined triple
clamps have been something of a KTM trademark for years.
Ensuring precise handling, they provide proper clamping force
for correct flex characteristics, thus improving the action of
the forks. For 2017 the upper triple clamp features a newly
developed rubber damping system for the handlebar clamp in order
to reduce the vibration levels felt through the handlebar. The
clamps retain their forward and back adjustability for rider
preference. |

Graphics
New modern in-mold graphics
highlight the Ready to Race character of the cutting-edge 2017
XC range of bikes. |
|
Bodywork
KTM engineers have focused on
designing the bodywork ergonomically and functionally in such a
way that the whole motorcycle is in perfect harmony with the
rider down to the very last detail. The front fender is a
perfect example of how molded plastic components can gain
maximum stability with a well thought out structure. |
|
Seat
The ergonomically perfect seat is
equipped with a durable foam core, ensuring both greater comfort
and higher stability. |
|
Handlebar
The 250 XC is equipped with a
tapered handlebar made of high-strength aluminum by NEKEN, which
is fixed in a new rubber damped handlebar clamp allowing the
handlebar to be mounted in two different positions. A new,
larger handlebar pad protects the rider in case of a crash. |
|
Airbox
At the same time, the design of
the airbox guarantees optimum protection of the air filter from
dirt plus maximum airflow for the highest performance. Quick
replacement of the Twin Air filter, without tools and in a
matter of seconds, has long been an unrivalled KTM standard. |
|
 |
Wheels
The 250 XC is fitted with
lightweight, CNC-machined hubs, high-end Giant rims and black
spokes with lightweight aluminum nipples providing maximum
stability at minimum weight. The latest Dunlop Geomax AT81 tires
guarantee perfect traction and outstanding performance. |
|
Brakes
High-tech Brembo brakes have
always been standard equipment on KTM off-road bikes, and now
are combined with newly designed and weight-reduced Wave discs
made by GALFER featuring improved heat resistance. Weight
reduction is 63g on the front disc, and 32 g for the rear. This
is the ultimate solution in braking technology. |
