The New 2024 KTM EXC Range Of Enduro Bikes

The 2023 KTM EXC range of enduro bikes has been unveiled with a trio of two-stroke models from 150 to 300cc, and four-strokes from 250cc to 500cc. Whichever you choose, they all feature a new hydro-formed, laser-cut and robot-welded frame to offer less flex, more stability and better energy absorption, along with a new lightweight two-piece subframe.

At the front is a new 48mm WP XACT Closed Cartridge spring fork with a new mid-valve piston to optimise oil flow, along with a new WP XPLOR PDS rear shock mounted via an updated system. And the suspension at both ends is fully adjustable for compression and damping by hand, with easy set preload adjustment at the rear.

All of your electronics are monitored by an independent OCU under the seat to replace fuses and relays, with any problems indicated via an LED light, and the components themselves are integrated into the polyamide and reinforced aluminium subgrame for access and better protection when you’re riding off-road.

The 2024 KTM EXC two-stroke range consists of the KTM 150 EXC, the KTM 250 EXC and the KTM 300 EXC, which get ew electronic Throttle Body Injection (TBI) technology to offer smoother power delivery and remove the need for re-jetting at different altitudes, while the read vale case has had a design update to add new plastic flaps to improve the seal around the intake tract and avoid running ruch in extreme uphill or downhill sections, and you now get two different engine maps selectable via an optional Map Select switch.

No wonder the suspension had to be upgraded for 2024...The two-strokes get new Throttle Body Injection technology, while the four-strokes get a Quickshifter...

Finally, all of the 2024 KTM EXC range get new bodywork, with input from the Red Bull KTM factory riders. The result is a better rider triangle for improved knee contact, especially when standing, and a new front mudguard which has mud-repelling fins to protect both rider and the radiator. All of the four-strokes get an 8.3 litre transparent polythene (XPE) fuel tank so you can check your petrol level more easily, while the two-strokes get an 8.9 litre version.

The 2024 KTM EXC range will be available from authorised dealers from June 2023.

1993 was quite a while ago. Bill Clinton became the new U.S President. Czechoslovakia was replaced by the Czech Republic and Slovakia. And the European single market was created as the European Union was founded. In motorcycling, 1993 saw the launch of the BMW R1100GS, along with the Ducati Monster, Triumph Tiger 900 and Yamaha YZF750. And BMW Mottorrad Enduro Park Hechlingen was created. Now in 2018, the BMW Enduro Park celebrates 25 years of hosting off-road enthusiasts.

The Enduro Park Hechlingen took an abandoned quarry and turned it into a 26 hectare area for enduro motorcyclists of all abilities. And it covers a range of challenges including steep slopes, gravel tracks, single trails, forest tracks, ruts, climbs and descents, as you ride under the watchful eye of the professional instructors.

Not only was it created to provide a place for motorcyclists to enjoy improving their riding, but a lot of work has been put into preserving numerous species of animals and plants. The conservation work even won an award from the German Federal Ministry of the Environment.

The photos reveal how much has changed since the park opened. Aside from the early 1990s riding kit, there was the transition from the BMW R100GS and R80GS to the modern dual sport BMWs we see today. The BMW R1100GS was a slight stepping stone, but it shares a clear lineage right down to the current R1200GS.

BMW opened the park with the idea of offering motorcycling as an ‘integral, all-round experience’. And obviously this and other parks have to cover their costs. But you can imagine how much feedback and usable data is generated by having 3,650 riders using and abusing your bikes in a controlled environment  in 2017 alone.
