Overview

### Embrace the Rides with the 2011 KTM 400 EXC The 2011 KTM 400 EXC stands as a formidable contender in the enduro-offroad category, designed for riders who crave adventure and demand performance. KTM, renowned for its dedication to high-performance motorcycles, brings together innovative engineering and rugged durability in this model. It's an ideal choice for both seasoned off-road enthusiasts and newcomers looking to tackle challenging terrains. With its striking orange, white, and black color options, this machine not only performs but also turns heads on the trails. At the heart of the 400 EXC is a robust 393.4cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that delivers exhilarating power and torque. This engine, with a compression ratio of 11.1:1 and a bore and stroke of 95.0 x 55.5 mm, is built for responsiveness, ensuring that riders can tackle the steepest inclines and the most rugged paths with ease. Thanks to the precision of the Keihin FCR-MX 39 carburettor and the efficient liquid cooling system, you can expect a smooth and consistent performance, whether you're navigating rocky trails or cruising through mud. The 6-speed gearbox allows for seamless shifting, providing versatility across various riding conditions, while the hydraulic double disk clutch ensures that power transfer is both effortless and reliable. KTM has equipped the 400 EXC with features that enhance both comfort and control. The central double-cradle frame, made from durable 25CrMo4 steel, combined with an aluminum subframe, offers both strength and lightweight agility. The WP USD 48 mm front suspension and the WP-PDS shock absorber in the rear provide a generous travel of 185 mm, ensuring that terrain irregularities are absorbed with grace. With a ground clearance of 380 mm and a seat height of 985 mm, riders will appreciate the confidence this bike exudes, allowing for easy maneuverability over obstacles and rugged landscapes. The added convenience of both electric and kick starters ensures that you’re always ready to hit the trails. ###
