Overview

### Introducing the 2011 KTM 250 EXC SIXDAYS The 2011 KTM 250 EXC SIXDAYS stands as a testament to KTM's commitment to creating high-performance enduro motorcycles, designed with both competitive riders and weekend warriors in mind. Positioned in the ever-demanding enduro-offroad category, this bike is tailored specifically for rigorous off-road use, featuring a racing-tuned setup that caters to the needs of serious trail enthusiasts. With its striking orange, white, and black color scheme, the SIXDAYS model not only looks the part but also delivers the performance that KTM is renowned for in the realm of off-road racing. ### Engine Performance and Riding Characteristics At the heart of the KTM 250 EXC SIXDAYS lies a potent 249cc single-cylinder, two-stroke engine that exudes both power and precision. With a robust compression ratio of 12.5:1 and a bore and stroke of 66.4 x 72.0 mm, this engine is designed to offer an exhilarating ride. The Keihin PWK 36 S AG carburettor ensures optimal fuel delivery, while the Kokusan ignition system provides a reliable spark for quick starts and smooth acceleration. Riders will appreciate the seamless 6-speed gearbox that allows for rapid shifts and ensures that power is always at the rider's fingertips. The liquid cooling system keeps the engine running at optimal temperatures even during the most grueling rides, making it a reliable companion on rugged terrains. ### Key Features and Technology The 250 EXC SIXDAYS brims with advanced features that elevate its performance on the trails. The central double-cradle frame, constructed from durable 25CrMo4 steel, is complemented by a lightweight aluminum subframe, ensuring a solid foundation that can withstand the rigors of off-road riding. The WP USD 48 mm front forks and WP PDS shock absorber provide an impressive 185 mm of front and rear travel, effectively absorbing bumps and uneven surfaces. For braking, the bike is equipped with strong single discs at both the front (260 mm) and rear (220 mm), delivering responsive stopping power when navigating challenging landscapes. The combination of an electric and kick starter adds convenience, ensuring that you’re always ready to tackle the next adventure. ###

    • Racing-Tuned Features: The SIXDAYS edition comes with enhanced components and tuning that cater to competitive riders, elevating the overall riding experience.
