When the open-flowing gravel suddenly becomes a tight single track; Challenge Accepted! With its big bore power, torque, unmatched handling, the 2024 KTM 500 EXC-F sets the benchmark in dual-sport ability. And when you consider this iteration hits the trail with a genetic makeup that is 95% new, the KTM 500 EXC-F is better than ever.
Getting READY TO RACE has never been easier. Thanks in part to its all-new suspension, the 2024 KTM EXC-F range boasts totally tool-free suspension setup at both ends. At the rear, our legendary, race-winning PDS technology features an all-new shock absorber design with hand-adjustable dual compression controls. This allows riders to adjust high- and low-speed settings in a matter of seconds. On the front, the forks are also easily adjusted thanks to hand-adjustable clickers on the bottom of the fork and on the fork top cap, making changing settings on the fly as easy as twisting the throttle.
DEEP BREATH
Boîtier de filtre à air
Maximum airflow with minimal water intrusion, a new air filter box is designed with precisely positioned inlet ducts aimed at preventing air deformation and maintaining filter protection. An enduro-specific splash protector under the airbox prevents water or dirt from splashing up from the rear wheel, while the Twin Air filter and air filter support design feature a simple fail-proof mounting system for secure and accurate filter installation, ensuring the air filter is easily accessed, without tools, for fast track-side maintenance.
FULLY FUELED
Réservoir de carburant
The transparent, polythene (XPE) fuel tank is a signature element of the KTM dual-sport lineup. Not only does this let you keep an eye on your fuel level with a quick glance, but years of development mean it's the strongest, most reliable fuel tank yet. For 2024, a one-piece fuel pump and filter improve the fuel supply allowing the tank to be emptied further at the low fuel level. And with 2.24 gallons of fuel at your disposal, you can hit the trail or road with utmost confidence.

02. Tour de référence
SLEDGEHAMMER
Moteur
Warp speed, engaged! The KTM 500 EXC-F is an undeniable powerhouse. Weighing in at a mere 65 lb (29.5 kg), it's not only more powerful but lighter than the previous generation engine too. For 2024, it's been designed with mass centralization in mind, tilting the engine 2° backwards and repositioning the sprocket 3 mm lower. The result? An improved center of gravity, better handling, maneuverability, and anti-squat behavior.
ÉLECTRONIQUE INTELLIGENTE
Unité de contrôle offroad
Une toute nouvelle unité de contrôle offroad située sous la selle remplace les fusibles et relais électroniques. Toutes les sorties sont activées en continu, en fonction des signaux du régulateur de tension et de l’unité de contrôle. En cas de surintensité, elles sont désactivées individuellement, ce qui permet de détecter facilement les dysfonctionnements, car l’état de chaque sortie est indiqué par un voyant à LED rouge ou vert. Il suffit de soulever la selle pour diagnostiquer les problèmes techniques, sans avoir besoin de fusibles.
LITHIUM POWERED
Batterie et faisceau de câbles
As with the rest of the KTM 4-stroke range, the KTM 500 EXC-F is fitted with a proven, reliable electric start system. Powered by an ultra lightweight 2 Ah lithium-ion starter battery, it provides reliable starting time and time again, while the wiring harness has most of the electrical components carefully positioned under the seat for easy accessibility.
FLUID RIDER MOTION
Ergonomie
La gamme KTM EXC-F 2024 améliore la position du pilote ainsi que le contact des genoux, surtout debout sur les repose-pieds, grâce à des surfaces d’adhérence améliorées. Le carénage a été prévu pour limiter l’accumulation de boue par conditions humides. La selle au profil plat et la housse de selle plus adhérente assurent une mobilité et une maîtrise exceptionnelles au pilote. La boucle arrière en aluminium renforcé de polyamide offre des sensations et un retour d’information inégalés, pour que tu n’aies qu’à te soucier du terrain qui t’attend.
UNMATCHED PERFORMANCE
Échappement
The exhaust system is designed to deliver hard-hitting performance at the lowest possible weight and noise. The 2-piece header pipe design is made to be as compact as possible, with the routing of the header pipe extremely close to the engine for maximum of mass centralization and minimum exposure to rocks. A short, compact silencer is crafted from lightweight aluminum and finished in a premium matt black coating.

BUILT TO BE THE BACKBONE
Cadre
Spécialement conçue pour offrir une rigidité longitudinale, la gamme KTM EXC-F 2024 est conçue autour d’un tout nouveau cadre noir poudré, qui assure un retour d’information exceptionnel au pilote, une grande absorption d’énergie et une stabilité à grande vitesse. Les masses en rotation ont été repositionnées dans le cadre et un écrou forgé a été ajouté à la colonne de direction. Les repose-pieds ont également été déplacés vers l’intérieur, réduisant le risque d’accrochage. Et quand vient l’heure de s’arrêter, la moto peut s’appuyer sur une toute nouvelle béquille latérale monobloc forgée.
MORE THAN A SUBFRAME
Boucle arrière
A new ultra-light subframe takes charge at the rear of the main frame, featuring a 2-part polyamide and reinforced aluminum construction. With the help of computational dynamics, a specific rigidity was engineered into the subframe to deliver outstanding handling and rider feedback. The new subframe is also shorter, more compact, and more robust than the previous generation, with the ability to bend and flex in the event of a crash, rather than break. The subframe fully integrates the electronic components, without any extra need for brackets, holders, or unnecessary fixtures.
UNFLAPPABLE FRONT END
Fourche à cartouche fermée WP XACT
Une toute nouvelle fourche à cartouche fermée WP XACT de 48 mm équipe la gamme KTM Enduro 2024. Avec un amortissement rapide et constant, un débit d’huile optimisé et un nouvel hydrostop sur les 68 derniers millimètres de course, elle offre des performances inégalées à tous les niveaux. Les nouvelles bagues de protection de la fourche offrent également une meilleure protection contre l’intrusion de saleté. Et cerise sur le gâteau, la nouvelle fourche est entièrement réglable en compression et en détente sans aucun outil.
GET THE POWER DOWN
Amortisseur WP XACT
Remaining a hallmark of KTM Enduro weaponry, an updated PDS rear shock concept sees a new shock mount that significantly improves the anti-squat behavior of the chassis. This remains the most reliable and maintenance-friendly option for technical offroad riding. Moreover, an all-new WP XPLOR PDS rear shock now takes charge at the rear, weighing 380 g less than the previous generation unit. It features a new compact design, new bearings seals, and a new main piston for optimized oil flow, and improved, consistent damping, as well as providing full adjustability thanks to easy-to-use hand clickers for adjustments on the fly.
WHERE RUBBER MEETS DIRT
Roues et pneumatiques
La KTM 500 EXC-F CHAMPION EDITION est équipée de gommes Continental TKC 80 aux deux extrémités, ce qui lui confère une polyvalence et une couverture de terrain supérieures, ainsi que des performances exceptionnelles sur sol sec, mouillé et mixte.

HOLD THE LINE
Stabilité
The 2024 KTM EXC-F range remains rock-solid at any speed thanks to a repositioned and forged steering head connection and triple clamps. Made from high-grade aluminum, these feature optimally tuned steering stem stiffness, perfect alignment of the fork tubes, and precise geometry of the fork clamps to ensure highly responsive and smooth fork action - not to mention unwavering stability for those ultra-fast flat-out special stages. Newly designed, topology-optimized bar mounts provide an increased grip surface for less handlebar twist They come with a fixed mounting, providing the perfect amount of flex for the forged triple clamp setup.
FIGHTING FATIGUE
Absorption d’énergie
Besides the expertly crafted, hydro-formed, laser-cut, and robot-welded frame being engineered to provide exceptional rider feedback and straight-line stability, a number of components were specifically designed so the frame acts as a "shock absorber," resulting in less rider fatigue over many hard laps. A new shock mounting, no longer connected to the main tube, significantly improves the anti-squat of the chassis. Up front, a new, service-friendly one-piece steering head seal provides improved reliability. The closed-head tube design also provides a new routing for the fuel overflow.
SEE INTO THE FUTURE
Phare LED
Pour éclairer la route, la gamme KTM EXC-F 2024 est équipée de tout nouveaux phare LED et plaque-phare. Ce dernier protège davantage le T de fourche des aspérités et rend inutiles les sangles de montage en caoutchouc pour un meilleur ajustement. Les LED améliorent de 300 % l’éclairage pour une expérience de nuit totalement nouvelle.
