IT’S the “ultimate all-rounder for run trails, trials and enduro,” KTM bills its freshly released Freeride 250 F.
The latest addition to KTM’s Freeride range packs a new 250cc, DOHC, four-stroke engine within a reworked and lighter composite frame that’s mounted on an Xplor suspension. Because the engine itself is smaller and lighter than the previous 250cc units, the bike tips the scales at less than 99 kilograms. This, according to KTM, makes the Freeride 250 F a “great choice for riders looking for an alternative to traditional trials or enduro machines, or those new to the sport of off-road motorcycling.”
Announcing the bike’s new hardware is a slim bodywork marked by new front fender, headlight mask, low seat and other updated pieces. Along with these, also offered by KTM are its PowerParts and PowerWear kits, which are basically an array of apparel and other riding gear, as well as performance parts and accessories.
KTM has launched the Freeride 250 F as a 2018 model in Europe, with deliveries to other markets following soon.
