VOLUME ISSUE JUNE , P103
F
or the 2023 model year,
KTM completely revamped
its cross-country and moto
-
cross lineups, but the "W" range
was left out. But not anymore.
As expected, many of those
changes the XC and SX models
saw have now made it to the
enduro models. As a result, 2024
XC-W and XCF-Ws get all the at
-
tention with a major redesign.
ALPHABET SOUP
Like so many other bikes on the
market, the letters that distin-
guish KTM's off-road models can
get confusing. SX, SX-F, XC, XC-F,
XC-W, XCF-W, EXC-F and so on.
The XC-W and XCF-W lineup is
KTM's competition enduro mod
-
els. If you're riding hard enduro,
special tests, or anything ultra-
tight and technical, these are the
bikes you should check out. The
XC-W's are the weapon of choice
for hard-enduro champions like
Mani Lettenbichler and Trystan
Hart. With the racing-inspired SX
(motocross) and XC (cross-coun
-
try) models being close varia-
tions of each other, the XC-W is
much different. Think of it as a
smoother offering that bridges
the gap between the XC and the
EXC-F (dual sport).
