KTM
presents its 2015 Enduro range
KTM continues its quest for pure brilliance with the
presentation of its 2015 Enduro range.
The Austrian company sets the benchmark once again in the
development of offroad motorcycles. With continued refinements to the
world dominating EXC machines, KTM’s Enduro bikes are ready to set
the standard for offroad fun and serious competition.
Further dedication from the Austrian brand’s Research and
Development department has seen the EXC range receive a variety of
improvements and refinements for the latest version of each bike. Last
year KTM’s EXC machines took the E1 and E3 Enduro World Championship
title wins, the EnduroCross and SuperEnduro titles, a number of
X-Games gold medals, the overall ISDE (International Six Days Enduro)
win, along with numerous Extreme Enduro wins.
New for MY2015
For model year 2015 the EXC receives a range of chassis developments
including a new MAE digital speedometer, which offers more readily
visible information to the rider, new black Neken handlebars with
improved handguards, and softer dual-compound grips. There are also
new black colored rims from Giant providing higher rigidity, that
compliment the CNC machined hubs, as well as the factory look being
completed with a striking orange frame, usually only seen on race team
machines, and an exciting new graphic design.
The EXC range is already well renowned for its high specification
components with high-end WP suspension including the well-proven PDS
rear shock, a class-leading, modern and lightweight chromoly frame,
high quality electrics and exhaust system and high-tech Brembo brakes.
Enduro range MY2015
The range itself includes four-stroke machines in the 250 EXC-F, 350
EXC-F, 450 EXC, 500 EXC, along with the two-stroke machines 125 EXC,
200 EXC, 250 EXC and 300 EXC, some of which have received detailed
engine improvements. In addition to this, the limited edition
Argentinian Six Days machines come fitted with a host of upgrades and
specialist PowerParts for ultimate performance.
This year’s launch for the EXC range is taking place this week in
Sibiu, Romania, which quite aptly is the location that will soon see
the Extreme Enduro experts battle it out for the Red Bull Romaniacs
win. In a few weeks’ time this Hard Enduro track will invite the
world’s best racers to fight it out across some of the most
difficult terrain, and KTM’s factory racer Jonny Walker, who rides
the KTM 300 EXC, will be looking to add a Romaniacs victory to the
Erzbergrodeo win he took just a few weeks ago.
