2018 KTM 250 vs 350 vs 500EXC-F

6 years ago | Words: Andy Wigan | Photos: Jarrad Duffy

The buzz surrounding the first-time addition of fuel injection to KTM’s 2018-model two-strokes has certainly diverted attention away from their four-stroke brethren in the past few months. But with four new-gen four-strokes in their range, consumers in the market for a KTM enduro thumper remain spoilt for choice.
