🎥 Project Bike: KTM’s 2017 250EXC

9 years ago | Photos: Kurt Teague Visual

If you sit aboard KTM’s 2017 EXC models with your eyes shut, they only feel marginally different from their predecessors. To ride though, they’re entirely different animals. If you had to single out one model that has evolved the most for 2017, it has to be the 250EXC two-stroke. It may look and sound like a two-stroke, but with a counter-balancer fitted to their engines for the first time, they now offer a more refined, vibration-free ride that turns your preconceptions about two-strokes on their head.

Here’s our first video insight into the much-improved new 250EXC  –  what we’ve added to the machine and how we plan to develop it.
