The KTM XC and XC-F range enters the 2024 model year with a line-up of READY TO RACE machines representing the ultimate in Cross Country excellence, complete with all-new suspension.
With almost a decade’s back-to-back championships, KTM is no stranger to winning premier cross-country racing titles. For 2024, the KTM XC and XC-F range is set to continue that trend with a line-up of precision machines built to deliver trophies.
The KTM XC and XC-F range
At the top of the range, the KTM 450 XC-F dominates the 4-stroke stable, with the equally impressive KTM 350 XC-F and KTM 250 XC-F rounding off the line-up. These are flanked by three 2-stroke models: the KTM 125 XC, KTM 250 XC, and the new open-class contender, the KTM 300 XC.
All 2024 XC and XC-F models benefit from Electronic Fuel Injection and a map select switch as standard. The 4-stroke XC-F range has additional Traction Control, Launch Control, and Quickshifter features.
The most significant improvement to the 2024 KTM XC and XC-F range comes from the suspension.
Upfront, an all-new WP XACT Closed Cartridge fork provides faster and more consistent damping characteristics, thanks to a new mid-valve piston concept that optimizes the oil flow within the cartridge.
Setup
This setup avoids unwanted oil foaming, which can lead to an unwanted change of damping characteristics and less consistent damping behaviour.
This is further improved with a new hydro stop in the stroke’s last 68 mm, which aids in maintaining maximum reserves in extreme riding situations. Revised fork protection rings also provide increased protection against dirt intrusion for improved reliability.
The new WP XACT Closed Cartridge fork retains its 48 mm diameter, while the total length is now 940 mm, and the total stroke has now 300mm travel.
On the rear, the WP XACT rear shock provides advanced damping characteristics for unsurpassed traction and energy absorption. It also features less overall length and weight than the previous generation while keeping the suspension travel unchanged at 300 mm.
Features
From an adjustability standpoint, both ends feature easy-to-use hand clickers that allow riders to change settings on the fly without needing special tools.
The 2024 KTM cross-country range of motorcycles is a confidence-inspiring line-up catering to riders at any level. With dramatically improved handling characteristics, easy suspension adjustment, and the latest dirt bike technology, the 2024 KTM XC and XC-F range set the standard for competitive cross-country racing.
The all-new 2024 KTM XC and XC-F range will be available at authorized KTM dealers from April 2023 onwards.
