air box

The airbox on the KTM 250 EXC offers the 2013 model maximum airflow for minimum dust or splash. The Twin-Air filter can be replaced in around 15 seconds, without tools. Absolutely "READY TO RACE".

a reworked engine

The 250's 2-stroke engine features a new V-Force valve gearbox and a new DDS clutch. The new clutch reduces internal stresses and ensures better dosability, while weighing less (- 250 g) and being more robust.

new DDS clutch

The new DDS (Damped Diaphragm Steel) clutch: the clutch housing with timing gear is machined from a single piece of high-strength steel. The result is unbeatable reliability. It also allows the use of thinner steel plates. The result is an extremely compact design and a slimmer motor. An elastic washer enables additional hub damping - an invaluable advantage in terms of traction and gearbox durability. The Brembo hydraulic clutch and spring washer ensure easy, controllable progressiveness.

electric starter as standard

For 2013, the KTM 250 EXC is equipped with both a kick and an electric starter. This makes it easy to start your enduro, whatever the conditions. Thanks to the patented longitudinal mounting above the ignition, the compact starter is optimally protected, offering a decisive advantage off-road.

adjustable ignition curve

consistent power delivery

Power to spare at low revs, and well-dosed throughout the rev range. Different springs allow individual adjustment of the exhaust control. This means everyone can adapt the power of their EXC to their needs (with the option of choosing one of two ignition curves) from "soft" to "aggressive" in a matter of seconds. The new valve gearbox on the 2013 250 EXC clearly improves throttle response, while delivering a more even spread of power.

individual suspension adjustment

The KTM 250 EXC features individual suspension tuning, perfectly matched to weight and engine. at the rear, a WP Suspension PDS shock absorber with direct linkage above the swingarm. The fork's wide rebound range and Highspeed and Lowspeed compression damping are standard KTM features.

high-quality wheels

High-quality CNC-machined hubs are standard on all KTM wheels. The new black spoke coating improves corrosion resistance and centers the new, extremely strong GIANT 7050 aluminum rims. New MAXXIS FIM tires specially designed for KTM provide excellent grip, precise handling and long life.
