2017 KTM 250 XC-F

KTM Press Release Below:

Building on the updated 2017 250 SX-F, KTM’s engineers have checked all of the boxes to make the 250 XC-F an off-road winner. A compact 250cc DOHC engine provides more power throughout the entire range of power, while the new frame provides improved handling and energy absorption. The WP AER 48 Sir-sprung front fork is easy to adjust for different terrain and riders with the supplied air-pump and removes 3.1 pounds from the XC-F chassis. A new map switch also activates TRACTION CONTROL for enhanced control when the course becomes wet or slick. XC specific equipment such as the translucent polyethylene 2.25 gallon fuel tank, hand guards and an 18” rear wheel ensure that the 250 XC-F is unstoppable in off-road competition.

NEW WP AER 48 front fork with a sophisticated air spring design and separate damping for easy adjustment to any track condition, rider weight or skill level is tuned specifically for off-road competition. The fork is now 3.1 pounds lighter than the 4CS unit it replaces.
NEW rear suspension settings and softer rear spring are perfectly matched to the WP AER 48 front fork.
NEW Handlebar map switch that also activates TRACTION CONTROL and Launch Control for enhanced traction for the start, middle and end of the race.
NEW top triple clamp supports the new flex characteristic of the WP AER 48 fork for better action and reduced friction.
NEW Handlebar clamps feature a separated lower clamp and bridge-type upper clamp for more torsional stiffness.
NEW 10mm longer rear brake pedal and less aggressive brake pads provide better modulation and control.
NEW Aluminum head stays are 60 grams lighter than the steel they replace.
A lightweight Chromoly steel frame provides high torsional rigidity with less longitudinal stiffness resulting in excellent handling and energy absorption.
KTM’s “No Dirt” footpeg design keeps the pegs pivot from becoming clogged, ensuring the footpeg is always in the correct position.
Super lightweight Galfer Wave rotors, CNC machined hubs, high-end Giant rims and Dunlop GEOMAX AT81 tires.
