Key specifications
Overview
Introducing the 2010 KTM 250 EXC-F, a motorcycle that embodies the spirit of enduro and off-road adventure. Renowned for its rugged performance and lightweight build, the 250 EXC-F is part of KTM's celebrated Offroad Competition ECX model series, designed for riders who crave the thrill of navigating challenging terrains. As a hallmark of the brand's commitment to excellence, this machine is aimed at both spirited amateurs and seasoned veterans looking for a reliable companion on their off-road excursions. At the heart of the 250 EXC-F is a powerful single-cylinder, four-stroke engine with a displacement of 248.60 ccm, delivering a blend of agility and power that excites. With a compression ratio of 12.8:1 and a meticulously engineered bore and stroke of 76.0 x 54.8 mm, this engine provides a responsive throttle and smooth acceleration, making it ideal for technical trails and steep climbs. The fuel system, featuring a Keihin FCR MX 39 carburettor, ensures optimal fuel delivery, while the 6-speed gearbox allows riders to tap into the engine's full potential, whether tackling tight corners or open stretches. Coupled with a wet double disk clutch operated hydraulically, shifting becomes a seamless experience, enhancing overall ride confidence. The 250 EXC-F doesn’t just excel in power; it also boasts an impressive chassis and suspension system designed to absorb the rigors of off-road riding. The central double-cradle frame, crafted from 25CrMo4 steel, provides robust support while keeping the weight at a nimble 105.7 kg (233.0 pounds). Equipped with a WP USD fork offering 300 mm of front travel and a WP PDS shock absorber providing 335 mm of rear travel, this motorcycle glides over obstacles with ease, ensuring a comfortable ride on even the most unforgiving trails. Additional features such as electric and kick-start options enhance convenience, while the striking orange, black, and gray color scheme reflects KTM’s bold design ethos. **
