The KTM 450 EXC-F SIX DAYS needs little introduction in enduro circles. Big power, unmatched agility, and truckloads of torque put this extreme READY TO RACE enduro weapon at the sharp end of any offroad battle. For 2025, it retains its championship-winning pedigree with a lightweight frame, closed-cartridge suspension, and a weapons chest of smart electronics to the paddock.
Now available at Lings Powersports, the KTM 450 EXC‑F Six Days celebrates KTM’s legendary ISDE pedigree with ultimate enduro refinement, peak performance, and exclusive features designed for both competition and adventuring.
Powering the Six Days is a potent 450 cc liquid-cooled four-stroke engine fitted with a counter-balancer for slick performance and vibration reduction. This high-torque powerplant delivers robust pull from low RPMs and releases exhilarating top-end, all controlled via ride-by-wire and user-selectable engine mapping in Standard and Soft modes. A premium DDS slipper clutch and close-ratio six-speed gearbox complete the drivetrain, offering precise and fatigue-free shifting.
The bike’s chassis is a rally-ready evolution of the proven EXC‑F platform. A durable chromoly steel frame joins a reinforced aluminum subframe. The endurance-tuned suspension features WP XACT 48 mm closed-cartridge front forks and a WP XACT PDS rear shock, both fully adjustable for rebound and compression. With 300 mm travel front and rear, it soaks up rough trails and technical terrain with composure.
Stopping power is delivered by Brembo brakes with a 260 mm front disc and 220 mm rear disc, featuring dual-channel ABS that can be switched off for full off-road control. Ergonomics are tailored to rally use: flat endurance seat, wide handlebars, and sturdy footpegs accommodate both seated and standing riding comfortably.
Rugged-body protection includes skid plate coverage, reinforced radiators, and durable handguards. A compact LED headlight kit enhances visibility in low-light conditions. Distinctive Six Days accents include white frame powder coating, rally-style graphics, anodized clicker caps, and a numbered Six Days badge.
At a dry weight of approximately 112 kg with a rally-optimized wheelbase and seat height, the 450 EXC‑F Six Days delivers championship-level enduro performance in a durable, race-ready package.
