New 2026 KTM 250XC-F

The 2026 KTM 250 XC-F is an off-road racing motorcycle built on a chromoly steel frame with a 249.9cc four-stroke engine. For 2026, the XC-F model features minor refinements rather than a full redesign, including updated graphics, a black frame, new Dunlop AT82 tires, and improved fuel and radiator components.

Key features

• Engine: The 250 XC-F is powered by a high-revving, 249.9cc DOHC four-stroke engine tuned for strong mid-range and top-end power. It has a 6-speed Pankl transmission.
• Electronics: Standard electronic features include:
• Map Select Switch: Allows riders to choose between two different engine maps.
• Traction Control: Provides improved grip in wet or muddy conditions.
• Launch Control: Helps achieve better holeshots.
• Quickshifter: Enables clutchless upshifts from second to sixth gear.
• Suspension: The motorcycle is equipped with WP XACT suspension, which offers tool-free compression and rebound adjustments.
• Front: 48mm WP XACT Closed Cartridge coil-spring fork.
• Rear: WP XACT Monoshock with linkage.
• Chassis: The central double-cradle chromoly steel frame has refined shock mounts for optimal weight reduction and flex. The aluminum-reinforced polyamide subframe is integrated with the main frame.
• Off-road specific components: Unlike its motocross counterpart (the 250 SX-F), the XC-F comes with several features for cross-country racing, including a larger 2.25-gallon fuel tank, handguards, a skid plate, a side stand, and an 18-inch rear wheel.
