- Seven bikes updated for 2026
- Get tech upgrades for better performance
KTM has redefined its 2026 enduro lineup, revealing seven new models while hinting that more “special” editions are still to come from the Austrian manufacturer.
In the two-stroke category, the updated range includes the 125 XC-W and 250 XC-W motorcycles, both set to reach authorised dealerships this month. However, enthusiasts will have to wait until October for the arrival of the 300 EXC two-stroke. For the four-stroke segment, KTM has launched the 250 EXC-F, 350 EXC-F, 450 EXC-F, and 500 EXC-F models, all scheduled for release in August.
Across both two- and four-stroke variants, KTM has introduced substantial suspension upgrades. A key enhancement is the new 48mm WP XACT Closed Cartridge fork, featuring revised damping settings and shorter, lighter springs. This is complemented by a one-piece hydro stop at the front fork, which delivers an additional weight savings of 200 grams.
Other notable refinements include a new protection cap for the fuel connector across all seven bikes and a reworked cooling system, now featuring a revised radiator cap. Select models, such as the KTM 300 EXC and all EXC-F variants, also receive radiator fans for improved temperature control during demanding rides.
In keeping with KTM’s race-ready philosophy, the 2026 models come equipped with forged triple clamps, Neken handlebars, Brembo brakes, and a hydraulic clutch. Riders will also benefit from a Keihin throttle body and ODI lock-on grips for improved handling and comfort.
Additional features include KTM’s Offroad Control Unit, GIANT alloy rims, and an LED headlight, further underlining the brand’s commitment to performance, durability, and rider-focused engineering. With the 2026 enduro range, KTM not only refreshes its existing lineup but also sets the stage for the arrival of even more exclusive models in the near future.
