BEFORE THE FLAG

CLICK INTO ACTION

• Easy Suspension Adjustment

The 2025 KTM XC and XC-F range took their already awesome suspension package and turned it up to 11. The WP XACT Closed Cartridge spring forks and WP XACT rear shock has been updated, with reworked settings and alterations to improve weight distribution and increase overall response. As always, the suspension boasts an easy tool-free setup at both ends, ensuring you chase down the podium in total control. On the rear, a hand-adjustable dual compression control allows riders to adjust high- and low-speed settings in a matter of seconds. The forks on the front end are also easily adjusted thanks to hand-adjustable clickers on the bottom of the fork shoe and top cap.

BREATHE EASY

• Airbox

Now a more robust one-piece construction, the airbox on the 2025 KTM XC range features a redesigned air inlet sleeve and snorkel, which prevents deformation and improves airflow. But don’t fret, toolless filter access is retained, with an intuitive filter mounting system and protection against dirt intrusion.

UNMATCHED PERFORMANCE

• More Usable Power

Weighing in at a lightweight 57.5 lb, this mid-weight powerhouse is the undisputed performance leader in the 250 cc 4-stroke class. Designed and tuned to provide the best performance and handling characteristics possible, the DOHC engine in the 2025 KTM 250 XC-F delivers endless mid-range and the top-end power together with the benefits of mass centralization and ideal anti-squat behavior.

DROP THE CLUTCH

• Launch Control & Quickshifter

Launch control, ENGAGED! Designed for the holeshot, the 2025 KTM 250 XC-F comes standard with launch control and a Quickshifter function, allowing for fast upshifts without using the clutch. Launch control is easily engaged by pressing the traction control and Quickshifter buttons simultaneously and works by limiting the amount of power to the rear wheel, improving traction, and preventing loss of control under hard acceleration. Meanwhile, the Quickshifter function means you can bang through from 2nd to 6th gear with your focus solely on the first corner.

TOTAL TRACTION

• Selectable Maps + TC

The map select switch on the 2025 KTM 250 XC-F features a simpler design, allowing for easier functionality in switching between 2 engine maps. Map 1 provides a more linear power curve, while map 2 punches all-out with aggressive throttle and explosive power. Luckily, Traction control is easy toggled to an on or off position from the same switch, ensuring maximum traction and a distinct advantage in wet or muddy conditions.

CALM UNDER FIRE

CORNER ON RAILS

• Absolute Control

No matter how gnarly the trail is, you’ll stay in control thanks to a rider-focussed frame design that has not only been engineered for longitudinal rigidity, but also positions rotating mass as close as possible to the center of gravity. Thick frame walls also improve reliability, flex characteristics and offer unmatched rider feel. The shock mounting also provides the perfect amount of anti-squat for better traction out of corners, while the footpeg mounting position reduces the risk of hooking up on roots or rocks. Additionally, forged brackets on the lower frame rails allow for easy installation of the skid plate.
