Overview

Introducing the 2009 KTM 250 EXC SIXDAYS, a motorcycle that embodies the spirit of off-road racing and adventure. As part of KTM’s exclusive SixDays lineup, this enduro bike is designed for serious riders who demand performance, durability, and agility in challenging terrain. With a lightweight frame and a focus on off-road capability, the 250 EXC SixDays stands out in the competitive enduro market, appealing to both seasoned racers and weekend warriors alike. Its striking orange color scheme is not just a nod to KTM's heritage but a beacon for those who crave the thrill of the ride. At the heart of the 250 EXC SIXDAYS is a powerful 249cc single-cylinder, two-stroke engine that delivers impressive performance. The engine’s bore and stroke measurements of 66.4 x 72.0 mm optimize torque and throttle response, ensuring that it excels in technical sections and open trails alike. The Keihin PWK 36 S AG carburettor fuels the engine efficiently, while the Kokusan ignition system guarantees a reliable spark in all conditions. With a five-speed gearbox and a wet multi-disc clutch operated hydraulically, riders can seamlessly shift through gears, harnessing the full potential of the engine. Whether you're navigating through tight single tracks or blasting through open fields, the 250 EXC offers an exhilarating ride characterized by its agile handling and responsive acceleration. The 250 EXC SIXDAYS is packed with features that enhance its off-road credentials. The central double-cradle frame, made from robust 25 CrMo 4 steel and paired with a lightweight aluminum subframe, provides exceptional rigidity and stability. The advanced WP USD 48 mm front forks and WP PDS rear shock absorber deliver a remarkable 300 mm of front travel and 335 mm of rear travel, absorbing the harshest bumps and ensuring a smooth ride over rough terrain. With a ground clearance of 385 mm and a seat height of 985 mm, riders can navigate obstacles with confidence. The single disc brakes, measuring 260 mm at the front and 220 mm at the rear, offer powerful stopping power, crucial for those sharp descents and sudden stops that off-road riding demands. **

Pros

  • Lightweight and Agile: At just 100.8 kg (222.2 lbs), the 250 EXC SIXDAYS is easy to maneuver, making it ideal for technical trails.
  • Powerful Two-Stroke Engine: The engine offers exceptional torque and throttle response, perfect for tackling various terrains with ease.
  • Advanced Suspension: The WP suspension setup provides excellent handling and stability, allowing for a smooth ride over bumps and obstacles.

Cons

  • Kick Start Only: The traditional kick starter may be a drawback for some riders, especially in challenging conditions where quick starts are essential.
  • Limited Fuel Capacity: With a fuel tank holding only 9.5 liters (2.51 gallons), longer rides may require careful planning regarding refueling.
  • High Seat Height: The seat height of 985 mm (38.8 inches) may be intimidating for shorter riders, affecting their comfort and control.
