The KTM 250 EXC-F has been the go-to package for serious weekend warriors and seasoned race champions for years - and for good reason. Class-leading handling, ample low-down torque, and confidence-building rideability make it easy to ride fast and challenge all limits. For 2025, it's ready to charge toward the limit. The question is; Are you ready to set that same limit for yourself?
Now available at Lings Powersports, the KTM 250 EXC‑F delivers refined four-stroke power and rugged trail endurance in a compact, race-ready package—perfect for riders who value versatility and precision.
Powering the 250 EXC‑F is a spirited 249 cc liquid-cooled, four-valve, four-stroke engine. Tuned with a ride-by-wire throttle and controlled through a close-ratio six-speed gearbox with a DDS slipper clutch, it balances strong low-end torque with crisp mid-range response—ideal for controlled off-road riding and technical climbs.
The bike’s lightweight chromoly steel mainframe is paired with a robust, powder-coated aluminum subframe. Its suspension setup features long-travel WP XACT components: 48 mm closed-cartridge forks and a PDS shock offering 300 mm of travel both front and rear. Fully adjustable for compression and rebound, this suspension setup is ready for a variety of terrain—from steep hills to rocky creek beds.
Riding on 21″ front and 18″ rear spoked wheels fitted with premium enduro tyres, the 250 EXC‑F offers excellent traction and terrain adaptability. Generous ground clearance and aggressive ergonomics build rider confidence during long trail rides.
Braking performance is provided by Brembo brakes with 260 mm front and 220 mm rear discs, supervised by a switchable dual-channel ABS system allowing rear-only off-road control. The end result is responsive, dependable stopping power in diverse conditions.
Ergonomic design prioritizes trail performance: the 875 mm seat, narrow bodywork, and balanced geometry deliver comfort and control whether seated or standing. A quick-adjust map selector allows riders to fine-tune power delivery on the go, tailoring the ride to challenging terrain.
Durable trail protection includes a skid plate, durable handguards, and high-grade plastics capable of withstanding bushland abuse. LED lighting and an optional electric start enhance usability during early mornings or late hours.
The KTM 250 EXC‑F blends compact four-stroke performance, adjustable, race-worthy suspension, and modern controls—making it a top-tier choice for riders seeking adventure and capability in one agile machine.
