2022 KTM XC 450 F

2022 KTM 450 XC-FMAXIMUM ATTACKThe 2022 KTM 450 XC-F is nothing less than an offroad weapon. Capable of tearing through just about any landscape at breakneck speed. This is thanks to a compact SOHC engine, delivering explosive power in a smooth, usable delivery that suits both weekend riders and seasoned racers alike, no to mention sharingg 95% of its parts with the championship-winning KTM 450 SX-F motocross bike.Features may include: ENGINE & EXHAUSTPOWER AND TORQUEENGINEThe 450 XC-F features the same compact 450 cc powerhouse as in the ripper 450 SX-F. KTM's engineers worked tirelessly to increase the READY TO RACE ability of this machine by including the latest engine management technology and refining the SOHC cylinder head and the latest electronic fuel injection. This means the 450 XC-F pumps out unrivaled horsepower with one simple goal in mind - to win races!CHASSISOPTIMAL FLEX CHARACTERISTICSFRAMEThe high-tech, lightweight chrome-moly steel frame has a knack for easy handling, outlandish rideability, precise cornering and excellent stability. You can also count on precisely calculated stiffness of the frame. This results in better absorption of the energy created from the front and rear suspension, sucking up jumps and bumps. In short: more comfort and less rider fatigue. Laterally attached, lightweight aluminum engine head stays (the connection between cylinder head and frame) contribute to more precise cornering and a reduced vibration level. The engineers were able to pull off all that, while making their frame 2.2 pounds lighter than that of the lightest competitor on the market. In addition, it is easier to maintain, easier to work on and supplies more space for the tank and other components. The bike also features an extra-light subframe made of aluminum, which tips the scales at less than 2 pounds.ERGONOMICS & COMFORTSHAPED FOR CONTROLHANDLEBARAll KTM XC models are equipped with the same high-strength aluminum tapered NEKEN handlebar. The handlebar allows for four different positions. The handlebars come standard with an ODI vulcanized grip on the right side and a comfortable ODI lock-on grip, which does not require any wire or glue, on the left. Additionally, the bike is fitted with a map-select switch on the handlebar for selecting alternative engine maps. The rider also has the option to activate TRACTION CONTROL from this switch; a unique feature which guarantees more efficient traction, especially in slippery conditions, and can be activated with the push of a button during riding.BODYWORK & GRAPHICSSTYLISH INDIVIDUALITYDECALSSimply riding a KTM 450 XC-F attracts the attention of onlookers, but the new inlay graphics definitely make them turn for a second look.SOFTWARE & ELECTRONICSSUPREME RELIABILITYBATTERY & WIRING HARNESSA strong lithium ion battery breathes life into the engine and contributes to low vehicle weight. The lightweight battery and wiring harness are centralized in a compartment above the air filter box, allowing the mechanic to remove the subframe without moving the electronics. A happy mechanic is a good mechanic.
