Overview

Introducing the 2010 KTM 400 EXC, a striking embodiment of enduro excellence that has cemented its reputation among serious off-road enthusiasts. Positioned within KTM's renowned Offroad Competition ECX model series, the 400 EXC is designed for riders who crave adrenaline and adventure on rugged terrains. With its blend of lightweight agility and robust engineering, this motorcycle is tailor-made for those who seek to conquer challenging trails, rocky landscapes, and everything in between. Its vibrant orange and black aesthetic not only turns heads but also signals its serious off-road capabilities. At the heart of the 400 EXC lies a potent 393.40 ccm single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that delivers a thrilling ride. With a compression ratio of 11.1:1 and a bore and stroke of 95 x 55.5 mm, this powerplant produces a spirited performance that ensures smooth acceleration and impressive torque across a range of revs. Coupled with a 6-speed gearbox and a hydraulically operated wet double disk clutch, the power delivery feels seamless and responsive, allowing riders to tackle steep climbs and technical descents with confidence. The liquid cooling system maintains optimal operating temperatures, ensuring that you stay on the trail longer, while the Keihin FCR-MX 39 carburetor fine-tunes fuel delivery for optimal performance in various conditions. The 2010 KTM 400 EXC is packed with innovative features that enhance its off-road prowess. Its central double-cradle-type frame made from 25CrMo4 steel offers unmatched strength and durability without compromising weight, tipping the scales at a mere 113.9 kg (251.1 pounds). The WP USD fork at the front and WP PDS shock absorber at the rear provide 300 mm and 335 mm of travel, respectively, making it adept at soaking up bumps and obstacles, giving you a plush ride even on the roughest trails. The combination of hydraulic brakes ensures reliable stopping power, while the adjustable seat height of 985 mm allows for a customized fit for a variety of riders. With both electric and kick start options, you're always ready to hit the trails. **
