Even before the introduction of its popular Duke range of street bikes, KTM has long been known for its off-road performance, and ultra-capable enduro machines. The Austrian company has been equipping off-road racers for decades, and continues to be one of the leading innovators in the world of enduro, now holding brands like Husqvarna and GasGas under its wing.
For the 2023 model-year, KTM is introducing minor refinements to its off-road model lineup in the form of the XC-W, XCF-W, and the EXC-F models. The new bikes carry over a lot of the things we’ve come to love from the previous generation of enduros. With so much technology and decades of R&D already in these bikes, it can be hard to fathom just what else the Austrian company could cook up. Well, for 2023, minor tweaks look to offer a sharper yet more refined off-road range of bikes. For starters, the aesthetics have been improved with a orange-coated Chromoly steel frame and revised graphic designs.
