Dropping power bombs, the 2025 KTM 500 EXC-F CHAMPION EDITION packs raging horsepower into a lightweight, READY TO RACE chassis. Not only does it pack a championship-winning punch - it also brings unmatched handling and a stellar electronics package to the battleground.
Now available at Lings Powersports, the KTM 500 EXC‑F Champion Edition celebrates KTM’s racing excellence by combining slashing four-stroke torque with deluxe features and exclusive styling—all while preserving uncompromised off-road capability.
Under its rugged exterior sits a potent 510 cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine with ride-by-wire throttle and a counter-balancer, delivering raw low-end pull and strong mid-range punch. Riders can instantly tailor the engine character using selectable ride modes—between Standard and Soft—through the race-grade DDS slipper clutch and six-speed gearbox.
Built on a high-strength chromoly steel frame and reinforced aluminum subframe, this machine boasts razor-sharp control. Premium WP XACT suspension—48 mm closed-cartridge front forks and a fully adjustable rear PDS shock—provides 300 mm of travel fore and aft, delivering race-level damping and composure over rough terrain.
Stopping power comes from Brembo hydraulic calipers gripping a 260 mm front disc and 220 mm rear disc, backed by dual-channel ABS with an off-road rear-only mode. Rugged trail protection includes skid plates, handguards, and durable LED lighting.
Aesthetic touches elevate the Champion Edition to collector status: striking exclusive graphics, anodized clicker caps, adjustable motocross-style footpegs, a factory-sealed tank cap, and aluminum handlebars all bear a commemorative "Champion Edition" badge.
Trail-ready ergonomics—with an 930 mm seat height, narrow bodywork, and a compact cockpit—ensure versatility during seated or standing riding. High-strength plastics resist trail abuse, and LED lighting enables extended ride times.
Weighing around 111 kg dry, the KTM 500 EXC‑F Champion Edition bridges elite race-prepped performance with show-stopping style and enduring utility. Ideal for riders who demand rally-capable strength and exclusive design.
