2027 KTM XC-F 450

THE KING OF DIRT.

The KTM 450 XC-F wears a crown forged in championship grit. As the undisputed heavyweight in the 4-stroke cross-country class, it brings a relentless, READY TO RACE attitude to every starting line. With sledgehammer power, razor-sharp handling, and a legacy built on podium finishes, it's not just here to compete -- it's here to expand the trophy room. When the gate drops, the KTM 450 XC-F answers with authority.

HIGHLIGHTS:

SUSPENSION As always, the suspension boasts an easy tool-free setup at both ends, ensuring you chase down the podium in total control. On the rear, a hand-adjustable dual compression option allows riders to adjust high- and low-speed settings in a matter of seconds. The forks on the front end are also easily modified thanks to hand-adjustable clickers on the bottom of the fork shoe and top cap.

POWER The KTM 450 XC-F boasts one of the most manic 4-Stroke powerplants in the pits, with its SOHC engine proving to be the perfect example of advanced engineering. Inside the engine works a 6-speed gearbox by PANKL for optimal XC performance in fast, flowy sections. With a low sprocket position for ideal anti-squat behavior, optimal mass centralization, and massive peak power output with an overall engine weight of only 59 lb (26.7 kg), you'll leave the competition with more than a little mud on the face.

CONTROL No matter how gnarly the trail is, you'll stay in complete control thanks to a rider-focussed frame design that has not only been engineered for longitudinal rigidity, but also repositions rotating mass closer to the center of gravity. Thick frame walls also improve reliability, flex characteristics and offer unmatched rider feel. The shock mounting also provides the perfect amount of anti-squat for better traction out of corners, while the footpeg mounting position is positoned in such a way to reduce the risk of hooking up on roots or rocks. Additionally, forged brackets on the lower frame rails allows for easy installation of the skid plate, too.
