New 2025 KTM Freeride E Specs
Cycle News Staff | October 23, 2024
KTM says the 2025 battery-powered Freeride E is 99 percent new, featuring an in-house-developed drivetrain, expanded battery “potential,” and updated components. However, the big news is that it’s street legal. It’s the company’s first plated e-motorcycle and now slips into the dual sport category.
Here are the stats: KTM claims the new Freeride offers 11 kW nominal power, 18.5 kW peak power, 37 Nm of torque, and 59 mph top speed. KTM also claims that it has 20 percent more battery “potential” than the first-generation Freeride model. It comes with a 660 W charger and will complete a full charge in eight hours with a normal household supply. A 20-80 percent rate can be reached between four to five hours. According to KTM, the battery can be removed in less than 10 minutes.
KTM says the battery life can withstand over 1000 charge cycles before dipping to 80 percent effectiveness, and typical enduro riding time is estimated to be between two and three hours.
In the chassis department, the new Freeride features a chromoly-steel frame that rides on 21- and 18-inch wheels and the latest-edition WP Xact and Xplor suspension, fully adjustable at both ends. Seat height is 35.6 inches.
It also features black aluminum wheels, Braketec braking systems with 260mm front/240mm rear discs, a new switchbox selection unit for the handlebars, and in-mold graphics.
KTM says to expect the KTM’s ride-ready weight to be less than 112 kg (247 pounds).
Price has not yet been announced. Availability will be January 2025.
