Overview

Introducing the 2015 KTM Freeride E-XC, a trailblazing electric motorcycle that redefines the enduro-offroad segment. KTM, renowned for its performance-oriented bikes, has successfully married cutting-edge electric technology with their rich heritage in off-road riding. The Freeride E-XC stands out in the market as a lightweight, agile machine designed for both novice and experienced riders alike. Its electric heart not only provides a quieter experience but also opens the door to exploration in areas where traditional fuel-powered bikes may be restricted. With a sleek orange, white, and gray color scheme, the Freeride E-XC is as visually striking as it is innovative. At the core of the Freeride E-XC lies a potent electric motor that delivers an impressive 29.50 horsepower and 42 Nm of torque. This combination ensures exhilarating acceleration and seamless power delivery, making it a breeze to tackle steep climbs and technical sections of the trail. The automatic gearbox eliminates the need for clutch management, allowing riders to focus solely on navigating their surroundings. With an air-cooled engine, the Freeride E-XC remains efficient while delivering a steady flow of power throughout your ride. Weighing in at just 110 kg (242.5 lbs), this bike's lightweight construction enhances its agility and maneuverability, making it perfect for twisting trails and rocky terrains. The Freeride E-XC is not just about power; it comes equipped with an array of advanced features and technologies that elevate the riding experience. Its perimeter steel-aluminum composite frame, paired with a high-strength polymide and ABS plastic subframe, strikes an ideal balance between durability and weight. The WP suspension system, featuring a 250 mm front travel and 260 mm rear travel, ensures that riders can comfortably absorb bumps, while the radially mounted two-piston caliper brakes provide reliable stopping power. With a respectable ground clearance of 340 mm and an adjustable seat height of 910 mm, the Freeride E-XC caters to riders of different sizes and skill levels, enhancing confidence on varied terrains. **
