• Engine: Weighing in at a lightweight 57.5 lb, this mid-weight powerhouse is the undisputed performance leader in the 250 cc 4-stroke class. Designed and tuned to best suit the performance and handling characteristics of the overall package, the 2023 KTM 250 XC-F sees an increase of power in the mid-range and the top-end. For 2023, the engine is tilted 2° backward with a lower sprocket position, which together with the benefits of mass centralization and reduced weight, makes the anti-squat behavior of the chassis second to none.
• Cylinder: The 81 mm bore cylinder houses a forged bridged-box-type piston made by CP. Both, the cylinder and piston are professionally engineered from high-strength aluminum resulting in outstanding performance and reliability. The compression ratio is 14.5:1 which results in notable increases in torque and peak power output.
• Cylinder Head: The fully-redesigned DOHC cylinder head features finger followers with a DLC coating resulting in minimal friction and optimal performance. These actuate large titanium valves - 32.5 mm intake and 27.5 mm exhaust - which at the 14.000-rpm rev-limit open and close multiple times each second for optimum fuel/air mixture. The new 27.5 mm exhaust valve is a result of the redesigned engine to deliver an optimized gas flow.
• Throttle Body: An important update across the 2023 KTM XC range is an all-new 44 mm throttle body. Taking its learnings from the KTM Factory Racing machines, the injectors are positioned in a double-injector pattern to ensure the most efficient flow into the combustion chamber, while the throttle cable is mounted directly without a throttle linkage providing smoother, uninhibited throttle action. This all adds up to cleaner, smoother fuel ignition, and more power without the fuss.
• Crankshaft: Designed with weight reduction and performance
