When the open-flowing gravel suddenly becomes a tight single track; Challenge Accepted! With its big bore power, torque, unmatched handling, the 2024 KTM 500 EXC-F sets the benchmark in dual-sport ability. And when you consider this iteration hits the trail with a genetic makeup that is 95% new, the KTM 500 EXC-F is better than ever.

Engine

Warp speed, engaged! The KTM 500 EXC-F is an undeniable powerhouse. Weighing in at a mere 65 lb (29.5 kg), it not only more powerful but lighter than the previous generation engine too. For 2024, it been designed with mass centralization in mind, tilting the engine 2° backwards and repositioning the sprocket 3 mm lower. The result? An improved center of gravity, better handling, maneuverability, and anti-squat behavior.

Adjustability

Getting READY TO RACE has never been easier. Thanks in part to its all-new suspension, the 2024 KTM EXC-F range boasts totally tool-free suspension setup at both ends. At the rear, our legendary, race-winning PDS technology features an all-new shock absorber design with hand-adjustable dual compression controls. This allows riders to adjust high- and low-speed settings in a matter of seconds. On the front, the forks are also easily adjusted thanks to hand-adjustable clickers on the bottom of the fork and on the fork top cap, making changing settings on the fly as easy as twisting the throttle.

Fuel Tank

The transparent, polythene (XPE) fuel tank is a signature element of the KTM dual-sport lineup. Not only does this let you keep an eye on your fuel level with a quick glance, but years of development mean it’s the strongest, most reliable fuel tank yet. For 2024, a one-piece fuel pump and filter improve the fuel supply allowing the tank to be emptied further at the low fuel level. And with 2.24 gallons of fuel at your disposal, you can hit the trail or road with utmost confidence.
