KTM 450 EXC-F

The 2025 KTM 450 EXC-F rolls into the open class with a renewed appetite for finding the limit. Boasting a class-leading chassis, unflappable suspension, race-proven bodywork, and rider-focussed ergonomics – not to mention one of the winningest 450 cc engines in the class – the KTM 450 EXC-F is ready to launch off the line with the podium firmly in its sights

Now available at Lings Powersports, the KTM 450 EXCF stands as the benchmark for full-size four-stroke enduro bikes, offering uncompromised power, handling, and durability in one race-ready package.

Powering the bike is a 449cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine with a counter-balancer, delivering strong torque off the bottom and potent mid-range punch. The ride-by-wire throttle and six-speed gearbox with a DDS slipper clutch ensure smooth, precise power delivery tailored to rugged trail demands.

Built on a lightweight chromoly steel frame with a reinforced aluminum subframe, this machine combines responsive handling with rock-solid durability. Suspension is handled by premium WP XACT long-travel components: 48mm closed-cartridge forks and a PDS rear shock, both fully adjustable and offering 300mm of travel for conquering technical terrain and jumps.

Trail-focused ergonomics feature a high 875mm seat height, narrow bodywork, and a slim fuel tankallowing for easy bike-to-rider connection in varied riding positions. Spoked 21 front and 18 rear wheels are shod with aggressive enduro tyres to tackle soft, loose, or rocky conditions.

Braking performance is reliable and consistent, with Brembo hydraulic calipers acting on a 260mm front disc and a 220mm rear disc. The dual-channel ABS system includes an off-road mode, enabling precise rear-wheel control when conditions call for it.

Designed with practicality in mind, the 450 EXCF features LED lighting, a tough skid plate, handguards, and functional plastics resistant to trail impacts. A quick power-valve map switch lets riders adapt performance characteristics instantly between Standard and Soft settings.

Lightweight yet rugged, agile yet powerfulthe KTM 450 EXCF is the ultimate choice for serious trail riders and competitors who demand elite four-stroke capability.
