The wait is over. KTM has pulled the covers off the 2026 KTM Enduro range, bringing a full refresh of its class-leading offroad collection. With seven race-bred models updated for the year ahead, including both 2-stroke and 4-stroke machinery, this latest generation delivers sharper handling, improved durability, and a brand-new look.
Whether you're climbing rocky trails, tackling Hard Enduro courses or just looking for the most capable dirt bike in the field, the 2026 range is READY TO RACE.
New Names, Same Winning DNA
The most immediate change for 2026 is the introduction of a new naming structure. The KTM 125 XC-W and KTM 250 XC-W replace the former EXC 2-strokes for off-road competition use. The KTM 300 EXC retains its name, serving as the sole EURO5+ compliant 2-stroke model in the line-up and the ideal choice for riders who want race-ready performance with road-legal credentials.
The full line-up includes:
2-stroke models: KTM 125 XC-W, KTM 250 XC-W, KTM 300 EXC
4-stroke models: KTM 250 EXC-F, KTM 350 EXC-F, KTM 450 EXC-F, KTM 500 EXC-F
Engineered for Every Condition
Each bike in the 2026 KTM Enduro line-up has been updated with KTM’s latest refinements in performance, handling and rider control. Built to excel in everything from tight woods to extreme terrain, the spec sheet delivers real-world advantages where they matter most:
- TBI fuel injection system (2-stroke models)
- Compact and responsive engines
- Hydro-formed, laser-cut and robot-welded frames
- Lightweight aluminium subframes
- High-strength swingarms
- Forged triple clamps
- Brembo hydraulic brakes and clutch
- Neken handlebars
- Keihin throttle bodies
- ODI lock-on grips
- LED headlight
- Offroad Control Unit
- GIANT high-strength alloy rims
This combination of components brings race-grade capability to every ride, whether you're battling for position or carving your own trail.
Every bike in the 2026 range has been fine-tuned with KTM’s latest thinking on chassis dynamics, engine performance, and rider control. From the TBI fuel injection system in the 2-strokes to the compact, lightweight and responsive engines across the board, these are machines that thrive in the toughest enduro conditions.
KTM's hydro-formed, laser-cut, robot-welded frames are matched with aluminium subframes and high-strength swingarms for a perfect balance of flex and feedback. The component list reads like a race team wish list: forged triple clamps, Brembo brakes, Neken bars, Keihin throttle bodies, ODI lock-on grips, and a potent LED headlight all come as standard. The Offroad Control Unit and GIANT alloy rims bring further precision and durability to every ride.
Suspension Upgrades Lead the Charge
One of the biggest updates for 2026 comes in the form of a reworked 48 mm WP XACT Closed Cartridge fork. New damping settings, lighter and shorter springs, and an updated pressure reservoir combine with a new hydro stop to improve both performance and rider confidence. KTM has also shaved 200 grams from the fork's overall weight—meaning better feedback and reduced fatigue.
At the rear, the signature WP XPLOR PDS shock gets the same attention, with revised internals focused on traction and stability. With no external linkages, maintenance remains quick and simple.
Cooling, Protection and Fine Details
A new CPC fuel connector protection cap has been added to all models to defend against water and dirt intrusion. The cooling system has also been enhanced, with a new radiator cap using a standard thread for easier access. Radiator fans are now fitted as standard on the KTM 300 EXC and all EXC-F models, improving heat management in low-speed or high-demand situations.
New Look, Same Ambition
Visually, the 2026 range is unmistakably KTM, but with added intensity. A more vibrant orange base, combined with red fork guards, black high-grip seat covers, and remodelled tank spoilers, creates a look that’s aggressive and functional. Airflow around the radiators has been improved and in-mould graphics keep the finish sharp under pressure. A new MaxxEnduro rear tyre compound from Maxxis rounds off the package with improved traction and feel.
Born from Competition, Ready for Every Ride
With countless hours of development in world-level enduro racing, the 2026 KTM Enduro range combines championship-winning DNA with practical refinements that benefit riders of every ability. These bikes are not just built to perform, they are designed to win.
PowerParts and PowerWear: Customise Your Ride
