Introducing the 2009 KTM 530 EXC SIXDAYS, a formidable contender in the enduro-offroad segment, designed to conquer the toughest terrains while offering an exhilarating ride. This bike is not just a machine; it's a testament to KTM’s commitment to performance and durability.

Built for the rigorous demands of the Enduro World Championship, this motorcycle embodies the spirit of adventure, making it the perfect companion for those who crave the thrill of the outdoors. At the heart of the 530 EXC SIXDAYS lies a robust 510.40 cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that delivers exhilarating power and torque. With a compression ratio of 11.9:1 and a 6-speed gearbox, this engine is engineered for both high-end performance and low-end grunt, allowing riders to tackle steep inclines and rugged trails with confidence. The liquid cooling system ensures optimal performance even in the toughest conditions, while the Keihin MX FCR 39 carburetor provides precise fuel delivery for a seamless ride. The bike’s lightweight design, tipping the scales at just 113.9 kg (251.1 pounds), enhances its agility, making it easy to maneuver through tight spots and rough terrain, ensuring that every ride is as thrilling as the last.

The central double-cradle frame, coupled with an aluminum subframe, provides excellent rigidity and stability, ensuring that the bike can withstand the rigors of off-road riding. The WP USD front suspension with 48 mm forks and the WP monoshock PDS rear suspension offer superior travel—300 mm (11.8 inches) in the front and 335 mm (13.2 inches) in the rear—allowing for exceptional shock absorption over obstacles. Additionally, the dual ignition system, featuring both electric and kick start options, adds a layer of convenience, ensuring that you’re always ready to hit the trails. With a generous ground clearance of 380 mm (15.0 inches) and a fuel capacity of 9.00 liters (2.38 gallons), the 530 EXC SIXDAYS is built for long rides into the wild. **
