450 EXC-R

The concept seems as simple as it is ingenious. You take one of the most successful enduro machines, the 450 EXC Racing, and set your sights on raising its high standards. And the result is more than impressive. With a completely new engine and its trend-setting chassis, the 450 EXC-R raises the benchmark right from the start;  it's extremely lightweight, agile and immensely powerful.

530 EXC-R

Assault weapon and workhorse in one – no other enduro fits both of these descriptions better than the 530 EXC-R.  It wins you over with its enormous four-stroke power from the big, totally re-designed XC4 engine whenever the going gets tough. On the other hand, it demonstrates all of its strengths with powerful yet gentle power output, especially on difficult trails. With its new, completely overhauled chassis, it represents a quantum leap when it comes to the frame, bodywork and ergonomics.

950 SUPER ENDURO R

The KTM 950 Super Enduro R is the ideal bike for all those who want to tackle absolutely everything. Even hard-core expert Giovanni is a bit surprised that the 950 Super Enduro R can be as good as new – even after copious amounts of high flying. "I might be worn out, but it seems you can't kill off that thing!"

Designed for kids between the ages of six and nine, the 65SX has a six-gear transmission, hydraulic clutch, Marzocchi upside-down forks, WP shock, fully adjustable chassis, a seat height of  750 mm and one thing above all: the power of a big bike!

85 SX

Even under extreme loads, this full-fledged racing bike (seat height  900 mm) has a sturdy frame, 43-mm WP upside-down forks and fully adjustable PDS system. And together with its top quality, exhaust-controlled cylinder, the even further improved engine supplies maximum power and plenty of torque.
