2024 KTM 450 XCF-W Bike

• New frame with repositioned forged one-piece steering head connection, updated footrest mounts, new shock mounting, and redesigned forged one-piece side stand
• New lightweight subframe with two-part polyamide/aluminum construction
• New bodywork and air filter box with redesigned inlet ducts
• Newly designed topology-optimized rubber-mounted bar mounts with increased grip surface for less handlebar twist
• New LED headlight unit and light mask with improved triple clamp protection and 300% more illumination
• New closed cartridge spring fork with hydro stop in last 68mm of stroke and new fork protection rings
• New more-compact shock absorber design with new seals and main piston
• Engine now tilted 2 degrees backward with 3mm-lower sprocket, for improved center of gravity, better handling, maneuverability, and anti-squat behavior
• New one-piece fuel pump and filter allow tank to be emptied further
• New Offroad Control Unit (OCU) under seat replaces all electronic fuses and relays, with all outlets switched depending on signals from voltage regulator and ECU, which makes for easy error detection with status of each output indicated by LED lights
• New easy-to-use switchgear with updated start/stop switch
• Optional map select switch changes engine character depending on track conditions and rider preference:
— Map 1 - standard; linear, predictable power delivery
— Map 2 - aggressive; crisp, explosive power output
— Rider can toggle between Traction Control and Quickshift from the same switch
• Traction Control registers a loss of grip if engine RPM increases too quickly and reduces amount of power to rear wheel, ensuring maximum traction and a distinct advantage in wet or muddy conditions
• Quickshifter allows fast upshifts from 2nd to 6th without using the clutch
