Description

LIMITLESS

The KTM 150 XC-W has earned its place on the hallowed XC-W rostrum. Featuring the same level of equipment as the rest of the KTM Enduro range, it packs enough punch to hang with the big boys while dominating them in the technical bits. With a fiery motor, lightning-fast response, and agile handling, the KTM 150 XC-W remains a worthy competitor on any enduro stage.

 

PREPARATION MAKES PERFECT

fAdjustablity

Getting READY TO RACE has never been easier. The KTM Enduro range boasts a tool-free suspension setup at both ends. At the rear, our legendary, race-winning PDS technology features hand-adjustable dual compression controls, allowing riders to adjust high- and low-speed settings in a matter of seconds. On the front, the forks are also easily adjusted thanks to hand-adjustable clickers on the bottom of the fork shoe and on the fork top cap, making changing settings on the fly as easy as twisting the throttle.

Air filter box

The air filter box is designed to ensure maximum airflow with minimal water intrusion. Precision in how the inlet ducts are positioned is aimed at preventing air deformation and maintaining filter protection. An enduro-specific splash protector under the airbox prevents water or dirt from splashing up from the rear wheel, while the Twin Air filter and air filter support design features a simple fail-proof mounting system for a secure and accurate filter installation. All this ensures the air filter is easily accessed, without tools, for fast trail-side maintenance.

fFuel Tank

The transparent, polythene (XPE) fuel tank is a signature element of the KTM Enduro lineup. Having undergone thorough race testing in everything from the GNCC to the hardest of FIM hard enduros, these tanks are built, well, like tanks! A one-piece fuel pump and filter manage fuel supply, while servicing is made extra simple with easy fuel filter access. What's more, an updated fuel tank roll now holds the tank more firmly in place and protects the frame against scrubbing.

Switchgear

On the right side of the handlebar, you'll find a sleek start/stop switch taken directly from our motocross machines, and on the left, an optional Map Select switch can be installed that allows riders to choose between Map 1 or Map 2.

Graphics

The KTM Enduro Range gets a fresh color update. Orange dominates the color palate, but shades of dark purple and red make an appearance. As always, all graphics remain in place thanks to in-mold technology, now on new tank spoilers with bi-composite plastics on the upper and lower areas to add a fresh, sharp, and distinctive new look. The seat features a high-grip seat cover in black, with the same texture shared across the frame protectors, tank spoilers, and the bar pad.

BENCHMARK LAP

Engine

Quite literally in a class of its own, the KTM 150 XC-W has an impressive powerplant for its size. With many parts being rearranged, modified, or developed from the ground up, the KTM 150 XC-W boasts an impressive power delivery, with an overall weight of just 41.4 lb (18.8 kg), setting the benchmark for youngsters, beginners, and experienced enduro riders looking for an ultra-lightweight, agile 2-stroke off-roader.

Exhaust

Binging the Braaap! Thanks to the KTM 150 XC-W's compact engine, the header pipe is designed with the target of achieving more ground clearance and reducing the risk of damage​ when riding over​ deep roots​, ruts, or climbing steep rocks. ​The silencer is crafted from lightweight aluminum.

Selectable Engine Maps

Designed for easy operation, the map select switch is available as an optional extra on all KTM XC-W models and allows for the easy selection of 2 unique engine maps. Map 1 is the standard, more linear, and predictable power map, while map 2 is a more aggressive map for added throttle response and more crisp, explosive power output.

Cooling System

Keeping cool is made even easier, thanks to a new radiator closure with a standard thread opening. This makes it quicker and easier to open the radiator cap for top-ups. An optional radiator fan can also be fitted for additional cooling.

Offroad Control Unit

The Offroad Control Unit - or OCU - is located under the seat and replaces all the electronic fuses and relays. All outputs are switched depending on signals from the voltage regulator and the ECU continuously. In the event of over-current, outputs are deactivated individually. This makes for easy error detection as the status of each output is indicated by a red or green LED light. This means diagnosing an electrical issue out on the trail is as easy as lifting the seat, and there's no more need to carry fiddly fuses.

Battery & Wiring Harness

As with the rest of the 4-stroke EXC-F range, the KTM 500 EXC-F is fitted with a proven and reliable electric start system. Powered by an ultra-lightweight 2 Ah lithium-ion starter battery, it provides a safe, reliable starting time and time again, while the wiring harness has most of the electrical components carefully positioned under the seat for easy accessibility.

Ergonomics

The KTM Enduro range features a rider-focussed body-position triangle, providing improved knee contact - especially when standing on the pegs - with improved gripping surfaces all around. With the plastics working to expel mud buildup in wet, muddy conditions, a flat seat profile with a high grip seat cover providing exceptional rider movement and control, and a polyamide-reinforced aluminum subframe providing unmatched rider feel and feedback, your only concern is navigating the terrain ahead of you.

ON THE CHARGE

kFrame

Specifically engineered for longitudinal rigidity, the KTM EXC-F range is engineered around a gloss-orange powder-coated frame providing exceptional rider feedback, energy absorption, and high-speed stability. This is achieved by repositioning the rotating masses in the frame along with a forged steering head connection. The footrest mounts also feature a slim design for less risk of hooking up. And when the ride comes to an end, a forged one-piece side stand ensures your enduro weapon stands proud.

kSubframe

An ultra-light lightweight subframe takes charge at the rear of the main frame, featuring a 2-part polyamide and reinforced aluminum construction. With the help of computational dynamics, a specific rigidity was engineered into the subframe, to deliver outstanding handling and rider feedback. This compact subframe design also boasts the the ability to bend and flex in the event of a crash, rather than break, with the subframe fully integrating electronic components, without any extra need for brackets, holders, or unnecessary fixtures.

kWP XACT Closed-cartidge Fork 

The proven 48 mm WP XACT Closed Cartridge fork has been updated with shorter, lighter main springs with a polished surface, which improves durability and reduces weight by 200 grams.

WP XPLOR Shock 

Remaining a hallmark of KTM Enduro weaponry, a PDS rear shock concept improves the anti-squat behaviors of the chassis. This remains the most reliable and maintenance-friendly option for competitive enduro racing.

Wheels and Tires

The KTM 150 XC-W rolls on a set of high-strength GIANT alloy wheels coupled to CNC-machined hubs and aluminum nipples. These are wrapped in a set of ultra-grippy Dunlop AT82 tires providing exceptional traction in all conditions.

KEEPING YOU GOING

fStability

The KTM XC-W range remains rock-solid at any speed thanks to a forged steering head connection and CNC-milled triple clamps. Made from high-grade aluminum, these feature optimally tuned steering stem stiffness, perfect alignment of the fork tubes, and precise geometry of the fork clamps to ensure highly responsive and smooth fork action - not to mention unwavering stability for those ultra-fast flat-out special stages.

fLED headlight

Lighting the way forward, the KTM Enduro range features an LED headlight unit and light mask. The mask itself features improved triple clamp protection against roost and does away with the rubber mounting straps for improved fitment. Most importantly, the LED lighting unit provides serious illumination, making riding in the dark a completely new experience.
