KTM’s finest competition range of Enduro machinery once again carries the colours and status of the ultimate team event of the international calendar. Leave the rest for roost with the 2026 KTM EXC 6DAYS collection.

THE MISSION

The arrival of the annual 6DAYS means a historic and glorious stage for KTM’s Enduro might. For this year’s gathering of the best riders in the world and the best machinery, KTM is marking the occasion with the special edition KTM EXC 6DAYS for the model year 2026 and a refined line-up of bikes that can help make the difference against the chrono. Numerous updates have been made to further optimise performance and deliver distinctive style and aesthetics in honour of the event, featured on the 2026 KTM EXC 6DAYS line-up.

THE MOMENT

The 2025 6DAYS FIM Enduro of Nations (formerly the ISDT or ISDE for International Six Days Enduro) will churn terrain around the northern city of Bergamo, Italy, for a week at the end of August and KTM will again have a prominent presence in the 99th incarnation of this famous annual fixture. Italy, the UK, the USA and France have claimed the prestigious World Trophy since the turn of the decade and more KTM-equipped athletes will be probing for personal and team glory come the launch on August 24. 

THE MACHINERY

2026 KTM EXC 6DAYS editions include the KTM 300EXC 6DAYS (two-stroke) and KTM 350EXC-F 6DAYS, KTM 450EXC-F 6DAYS and KTM 500EXC-F 6DAYS (four-strokes). The initial platform is the 2026 KTM Enduro range, which features several updates to the tried, tested and unbeatable technical offering across the board. The new bikes benefit from revised material and settings for the 48mm WP XACT closed cartridge forks as well as the WP XPLOR PDS shock: less weight, improved feel, increased stability for faster times. KTM has also reinforced the fuelling system for all models with a new protector cap, and bolstered cooling reliability with a more resistant radiator closure. Radiator fans come as standard. 

THE MODIFICATIONS

Italian territory for the upcoming 6DAYS is celebrated with a dedicated livery and blue, white, green and red colors across the bodywork, front mask, forkguards, seat (shaded blue but with factory grippy fabric) and swingarm. The 2026 KTM EXC 6DAYS motorcycles will be unmissable and their unique profile is also recognisable thanks to the orange found on the glossy frame, CNC machined triple clamps, front axle puller, chain guide, frame protectors and Supersprox stealth rear sprocket. 6DAYS branding can also be seen on the handlebars (with a specific bend), silencer and wheel rims. 

More 2026 highlights include: 

• Floating front brake disc & solid rear disc
• Rear brake safety wire for increased resistance
• Weight-saving skidplate
• Map selector switch
• Metzeler 6DAYS Extreme tyres

Further customisation to augment the 2026 KTM EXC 6DAYS range can be found in the treasure trove of the renewed KTM PowerParts and PowerWear catalogues. The four-stroke 2026 KTM EXC 6DAYS Enduro special editions will be available in limited numbers at authorised KTM dealers in Australia and New Zealand starting from November, with the two-stroke KTM 300EXC 6DAYS following up in January 2026. Please note that the 2026 KTM 450EXC-F 6DAYS will not be available in New Zealand.
