2020 KTM XC-W Models First Look

KTM is bringing back its line of XCF-W models for 2020. You might recall KTM recently giving the off-road-only “W” range the axe in favor of the street-legal EXC-F dual sport models—the 250, 350 and 500 EXC-Fs. KTM’s philosophy was that the EXC-Fs could hold their own as the company’s flagship trail-riding models that could be ridden both on the pavement (legally) and on the dirt. Evidently, that philosophy has changed.

KTM Brings Back XC-W Enduro Models For 2020

The 2020 XCF-W “enduro” range is back and made up of five models, three two-strokes—150XC-W TPi, 250XC-W TPi, and 300XC-W TPi—and two four-strokes—350XCF-W and 500XCF-W. All of the two-stroke models are fuel-injected; yes, even the 150!

KTM says the new Ws feature updated high-performance engines, new chassis with improved WP XPLOR suspension, and improved handling. They also get new bodywork, new air filter boxes, new cooling systems, and new exhaust systems. Returning items include NEKEN handlebars, Brembo brakes, No-Dirt footpegs, and CNC-milled hubs with Giant rims.

KTM says we will start seeing this bikes show up in the North American market this summer.
