New color graphics highlight KTM's 2025 enduro lineup
When it comes to enduro leisure riding or racing, KTM has always been the motorcycle of choice for many riders. After refining 95% of its lineup components for the 2023-2024 model years, KTM presents its 2025 enduro range, now with updated color graphics.
The previous 1990s-inspired purple highlights are now replaced by a timeless silver-gray graphic over predominantly orange bodywork and a black frame. The seat remains orange, featuring a high-grip seat cover and textured grip strips, which can also be found on the frame protectors, tank shrouds, and bar pad.
At the rear, handling is further refined, thanks to new settings for the WP XPLOR PDS shock, resulting in an improved pressure balance and a lower risk of cavitation. The swingarm also gets an update, with a machined unit to improve the durability of the chain glider.
Upfront, a new and updated fuel tank roll now secures the tank more firmly in place while keeping the frame protected against scrubbing. At the handlebars, a new on/off switch gear is carried over from the KTM SX range.
The biggest news of 2025 is the reintroduction of a dedicated 125 cc KTM Enduro model to the lineup. After a decade of absence, the 2025 KTM 125 XC-W has returned to reclaim its dominance in the 125 cc Junior Enduro category.
Unlike other models in the KTM 2-stroke Enduro range., the KTM 125 XC-W doesn't include an extra oil tank between the fuel tank and steering head, making it the sole pre-mix model in this regard. Additionally, it comes standard with a map select switch. All other main components are identical to the KTM EXC range.
All models in the range keep the hydro-formed, laser-cut, and robot-welded frame, which is renowned for its flex parameters, rider feedback, and straight-line stability, with a 48 mm WP XACT Closed Cartridge spring fork and WP XPLORE PDS taking care of suspension duties.
The 2025 KTM EXC 2-stroke range will consist of the KTM 125 XC-W, KTM 150 EXC, KTM 250 EXC, and KTM 300 EXC. The 4-stroke range remains unchanged, with the dirt-ripping KTM 250 EXC-F, KTM 350 EXC-F, KTM 450 EXC-F, and KTM 500 EXC-F filling the ranks.
The 2025 KTM EXC range is the culmination of years of R&D fighting at the sharp end of Enduro competition worldwide. With dynamic race-bred performance, focused ergonomics, and leading technology, the 2025 KTM Enduro range is primed and ready to challenge any terrain and redefine the limit.
The new 2025 KTM EXC range will be rolling off the Austrian production line in June.
Future of KTM motorcycles in the PH
By now, you may have already heard that the Ayala-owned Adventure Cycle Philippines, Inc., (ACPI) would no longer distribute future KTM and Husqvarna motorcycles here in the country. Currently, the Austrian-based manufacturer is rumored to be in talks with a couple of Filipino companies including Wheeltek Group, Autohub Group and Infiniteserv International.
For now, the latest model KTM off-road motorcycles can be purchased from gray market importers here in Luzon and in Mindanao.
