Overview

Introducing the 2010 KTM 250 EXC, a fierce contender in the enduro-offroad landscape, designed for riders who crave the thrill of off-road adventure paired with precision engineering. This motorcycle is part of KTM’s revered Offroad Competition ECX model series, standing out for its exceptional performance and cutting-edge technology. With its lightweight construction and agile handling, the 250 EXC is the ultimate partner for navigating treacherous trails and conquering rugged terrains, making it a sought-after choice for both competitive riders and recreational enthusiasts alike. At the heart of the KTM 250 EXC lies a powerful 249cc single-cylinder, two-stroke engine that delivers an exhilarating ride with impressive responsiveness. Featuring a bore and stroke of 66.4 x 72.0 mm, the bike’s engine is finely tuned to provide a perfect balance of torque and power. The Keihin PWK 36 S AG carburettor ensures optimized fuel delivery, allowing the engine to breathe freely and deliver spirited acceleration. Paired with a 5-speed gearbox, the EXC offers a seamless transition through gears, enabling riders to tackle steep inclines and technical sections with confidence. The liquid cooling system maintains optimal engine temperature, ensuring consistent performance even in the most demanding conditions. The 2010 KTM 250 EXC is equipped with advanced features that enhance both comfort and control, making it a formidable machine on any trail. The central double-cradle-type frame, crafted from robust 25CrMo4 steel, provides the rigidity needed for stability during gnarly descents and sharp corners. The WP USD front fork and WP PDS rear shock absorber work in harmony to deliver an impressive 300 mm of front travel and 335 mm of rear travel, absorbing bumps and imperfections in the terrain. Riders will appreciate the ergonomics of the bike, with a ground clearance of 385 mm and an adjustable seat height of 985 mm, allowing for a customized fit that promotes confidence and control. **

Pros

  • Lightweight and Agile: Weighing in at just 100.8 kg (222.2 pounds), the 250 EXC offers exceptional maneuverability and responsiveness on the trails.
  • Powerful Engine: The 249cc two-stroke engine delivers a thrilling power band, ideal for both competitive racing and recreational riding.
  • Advanced Suspension: The WP suspension components provide excellent shock absorption and traction, enhancing overall ride comfort and control over rough terrain.

Cons

  • Kick Start Only: The absence of an electric start may deter some riders who prefer the convenience of modern starting systems.
  • Limited Fuel Capacity: With a fuel tank capacity of 9.5 liters (2.51 gallons), longer rides may require frequent refueling, especially on remote trails.
  • Seat Height: The relatively tall seat height of 985 mm (38.8 inches) may pose a challenge for shorter riders needing to reach the ground comfortably.
