2021 KTM Off-Road XC-W XCF-W And EXC-F First Look

Cycle News Staff | June 16, 2020

KTM unveiled its 2021 line of off-road XC-W two-strokes, XCF-W four-strokes, and EXC dual sport bikes and the big news here is—there is little news. The non-linkage off-road bikes in KTM’s fleet feature little changes—mostly small refinements—from the previous model year.

2021 KTM Off-Road XC-W XCF-W And EXC-F First Look — **2021 KTM 500 EXC-F dual sport**

The most obvious is, of course, the new graphics and coloring, but all of them received updated WP Xplor forks, which now feature an external preload (spring) adjuster.

The XC-W 150 TPI, however, got a little extra. A new cast piston replaces the forged piston for improved durability while keeping weight to a minimum. The 500cc four-strokes also get a new shift locker that KTM says provides increased durability.

Below you’ll find complete specifications and full information about each bike directly from KTM.

2021 KTM 500 EXC-F Highlights

NEW graphics with updated color scheme for a READY TO RACE appearance.
UPDATED WP XPLOR forks now feature an external preload adjuster as standard, making spring preload adjustments for terrain and rider preference quick and easy.
WP XPLOR rear shock with PDS (Progressive Damping System) technology features a second damping piston in combination with a closed cup towards the end of the stroke, supported by a progressive shock spring, to produce unmatched dual-sport performance.
NEW shift locker provides increased durability.
High-tech, lightweight chrome-moly steel frame with carefully calculated flex parameters provides a great blend of comfort, stability and precision.
Single-piece cast aluminum swingarm is manufactured using a gravity die-cast production process, offering exceptional strength at the lowest possible weight.
