2019 KTM 250 XC-W TPI

2018 KTM 250 XC-W TPI

When the smoke clears, you’ll be the last rider standing. The KTM 250 XC-W TPI is one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world of Enduro, pummeling its more complex 4-stroke rivals. All muscle, no fat: this groundbreaking, fuel-injected 2-stroke machine is as lean as it is powerful.

• ENGINE & EXHAUST

The KTM 250cc engine is known to be the most powerful and most competitive 2-stroke engine of the class. And things get even better. The KTM 250 XC-W TPI is fitted with newly developed TPI (transfer port injection) fuel injection system, a unique feature when it comes to 2-stroke race bikes. The patented EFI system with two injectors into the transfer ports of the cylinder makes the engine much smoother to ride and reduces the fuel consumption drastically, a global game changer in terms of technology. On top of that, the KTM 250cc powerhouse features a modern shaft arrangement that’s beneficial in terms of mass centralization, a well-protected E-starter, a balancer shaft for low engine vibrations, a 6-speed Enduro transmission and a hydraulically operated DDS clutch. This is a 2-stroke symphony when keeping it pinned on the pipe, while still being able to deliver ultra-smooth and reliable drive when you need it.

• ERGONOMICS & COMFORT

READY TO RACE ergonomics give you the edge on all terrain, ride harder for longer.

• BODYWORK & GRAPHICS

KTM R&D, KISKA Design and the factory racers all had their say in shaping the plastics with one goal: complete harmony between rider and bike. Perfect ergonomics and contact points provide maximum comfort in movement on the XC-W TPI. The I-beam structures of the front and rear fenders guarantee maximum stability and a low weight thanks to well thought-out construction and mounting. They also stay cleaner for longer. Clever brake hose routing on the front number plate prevents wear and tear.
