2019 KTM 250XC-W

When the smoke clears, you’ll be the last rider standing. The KTM 250 XC-W TPI is one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world of Enduro, pummeling its more complex 4-stroke rivals. All muscle, no fat: this groundbreaking, fuel-injected 2-stroke machine is as lean as it is powerful.

• ENGINE & EXHAUST

The KTM 250 XC-W TPI is fitted with a newly developed TPI (transfer port injection) fuel injection system. This patented EFI system features two injectors that makes for a much smoother power delivery, and a notable reduction in fuel consumption. It is a global game changer in terms of technology. On top of that, the KTM 250cc powerhouse features a modern shaft arrangement that’s beneficial in terms of mass centralization, a well-protected E-starter, a balancer shaft for low engine vibration, a 6-speed Enduro transmission and a hydraulically operated DDS clutch. This is a 2-stroke symphony when keeping it pinned on the pipe, while still being able to deliver ultra-smooth and reliable drive when you need it.

• CHASSIS

The KTM 250 XC-W TPI excels across all tracks and landscapes, thanks in part to its low weight and slim design. This makes it a no brainer when you’re racing across extreme cross-country terrain.

• ERGONOMICS & COMFORT

Perfect ergonomics and contact points provide maximum comfort in movement on the 250 XC-W TPI and ensures that the same READY TO RACE ergonomics of previous years have been retained for 2019.

• BODYWORK & GRAPHICS

I-beam construction on the front and rear fenders guarantees maximum stability speed by reducing flex. They also stay cleaner for longer with a clever design that expels mud and grime, while a clever brake hose routing on the front number plate prevents unnecessary wear from friction.

• SOFTWARE & ELECTRONICS

The electronics on the 2019 250 XC-W TPI are impressive to say the least. Automatic altitude and temperature compensation means there is no need to set up the TPI for the prevailing environmental conditions, while an integrated oil pump ensures the perfect fuel-oil mixture. An engine mapping switch is also available that allows riders to select alternate power maps to best suit the terrain and conditions.
