Overview

Introducing the 2017 KTM 250 EXC-F Six Days, a motorcycle that perfectly embodies the spirit of adventure and competition in the enduro-offroad category. This limited-edition machine, developed to celebrate the International Six Days Enduro, showcases KTM's commitment to performance, reliability, and cutting-edge technology. With its striking orange, white, red, and blue color scheme, the 250 EXC-F stands out as a formidable competitor in both casual trails and rigorous racing environments, appealing to enthusiasts and serious riders alike. At the heart of the 250 EXC-F is a powerful 249.90 ccm single-cylinder four-stroke engine, designed for optimum performance. Its lightweight construction and robust power delivery make it an agile companion, whether navigating tight trails or tackling steep climbs. With a bore and stroke of 78.0 x 52.3 mm, the engine offers an impressive balance of torque and throttle response, while the advanced Keihin EMS fuel injection ensures precise fuel delivery for maximum efficiency. Coupled with a 6-speed gearbox and a wet, DDS multi-disc clutch with Brembo hydraulics, riders can expect seamless gear changes and excellent control, providing confidence in challenging conditions. Equipped with a chrome-molybdenum steel central-tube frame, the 250 EXC-F offers superior stability and handling on rugged terrains. Its suspension system features the WP-USD Xplor 48 at the front, with adjustable preload and 300 mm of travel, while the rear is managed by the WP Xplor PDS shock absorber with 310 mm of travel. This setup translates to excellent bump absorption and cornering capability, allowing riders to push their limits. The combination of powerful brakes—260 mm front and 220 mm rear—ensures reliable stopping power, while features like electric and kick starters provide versatility and peace of mind during long rides. The 2017 KTM 250 EXC-F Six Days is more than just a motorcycle; it's a tool for exploration and a ticket to adventure. Whether you're a seasoned competitor or a weekend warrior, this bike promises to elevate your riding experience with its blend of power, agility, and innovative technology.

Pros

  • Lightweight and Agile: Weighing in at just 103.5 kg (228.2 lbs), the EXC-F is easy to maneuver and ideal for technical trails.
  • Advanced Suspension: The WP suspension system delivers exceptional performance, offering a smooth ride over rough terrain with significant travel for both front and rear.
  • Powerful Engine: The responsive single-cylinder engine provides an engaging riding experience with ample torque for challenging conditions.

Cons

  • High Seat Height: With a seat height of 960 mm (37.8 inches), it may be challenging for shorter riders to manage the bike comfortably.
  • Fuel Capacity: While the 8.50-litre (2.25-gallon) fuel tank is adequate for short rides, it may require more frequent refueling on extended adventures.
  • Limited Adjustability: Though the suspension offers preload adjustment, some riders may find the overall setup less customizable compared to other models in its class.
