Motorcycle specifications KTM250 EXC-F 2013 The assault on the E2

she's incredibly maneuverable. It has won numerous world titles! The KTM 250 EXC-F. The ultimate success bike. Strong traction from low revs right into the red zone. And the story continues in 2013! Factory rider Antoine Meo uses the latest model in his battle for the world title in the E2 class. The new model boasts a highly agile chassis thanks to new WP suspension and a powerful DOHC engine with electronic fuel injection. And by the way, it boasts an even more extreme sporting look.

new airbox

The new airbox on the 2013 KTM 250 EXC-F offers maximum airflow with minimum dust or splash. The Twin-Air filter can be replaced in around 15 seconds, without tools. Absolutely "Ready to Race".

valve timing

The DOHC cylinder head features four ultra-light titanium valves. Combined with rocker arms weighing just 8 g (0.28 oz) with DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) coating, they enable maximum revs of up to 12,000 1/min. Compared with the SX-F engine, the camshafts are less power-oriented, focusing instead on a wide, useful and enduro-specific rpm range.

transparent plastic fuel tank

The fuel level is easy to check thanks to the transparent 9.5 l (10 qt.) plastic tank. The microfilter in the fuel line sorts out the smallest particles before the injector, and is now located in the fuel line quick connector between the tank and the injection valve. It can be easily replaced. 13 l (14 qt.) tanks are available for all models in the PowerParts range. The bayonet-type tank lid incorporates protection against unwanted unscrewing, and features a "quarter-turn" system for rapid opening and closing.

motor management

Keihin's EMS represents the ultimate. With electronic fuel injection and 42 mm (1.65 in) throttle openings, it ensures spontaneous, powerful responsiveness and driveability. Automatic temperature and altitude compensation are also integrated. With the optional Map-Select-Switch (PowerParts), you can easily select different engine characteristics. Thanks to the User-Setting-Tool in the PowerParts program, you can individually modify and adjust the EFI mapping of the KTM 250 EXC?F 2013 via a laptop. This ensures maximum performance in every situation.

lightweight crankcase

Lighter: die-cast crankcase instead of sand! A significant reduction in wall thickness, without compromising stability. The result is a lighter engine and improved handling. A special high-strength aluminum alloy ensures maximum strength against damage.

wP fork

The latest generation of fully adjustable 48 mm (1.89 in) Open Cartridge forks "Made in Austria" by WP Suspension guarantee the best behavior for more consistent damping properties. This is due in particular to the use of new fork oil and new fork O-rings.

high-quality wheels

High-quality CNC-machined hubs as standard on all KTM wheels. The new black spoke coating improves corrosion resistance and centers the new GIANT 7050 aluminum rims, which are extremely strong. New MAXXIS FIM tires specially designed for KTM provide excellent grip, precise handling and long life.

trim

The 2013 version of the 250 EXC-F features an ergonomically slim fairing with excellent points of contact between rider and machine. It offers unlimited freedom of movement. Redesigned graphics ensure a more modern look.

handlebars

The 2013 models feature tapered handlebars made from extremely strong Neken aluminum. For the 2013 model year, new bi-component grips with KTM logo ensure excellent feel and better grip.
