VOL. 54 ISSUE 18 MAY 9, 2017 P103 dual-sport bikes: the 2017 250, 350 and 500 EXC-Fs. The 250 is a new member of the family. KTM's new EXC-Fs are per- haps more dirt-worthy than ever. They are true hard-core dirt bikes that just so happen to have a metal license plate on the back. In fact, they are so dirty that the company decided not to even bother offering a "Green Stickie" dirt bike—their "W" models— anymore. Since the W's were so close to being street-legal anyway, they decided to go all the way and just make these. So KTM now offers just "race" off- road bikes (XCs) and street-legal off-road/enduro bikes (EXCs). Pretty simple; not to mention, brilliant. WE RIDE ALL OF KTM'S LATEST AND GREATEST EXC-F DUAL SPORT BIKES Triplets! Well, almost. The 2017 KTM 250, 350 and 500 EXC-F resting in their element. N STORY AND PHOTOGRAPHY BY ADAM BOOTH
