2023 KTM 450 XCF-W, 2023 KTM 450 XCF-W

With impressive and efficient performance, a lightweight frame and subframe, race-proven bodywork and ergonomics, a compact exhaust system as well as exceptional cooling and suspension, the KTM 450 XCF-W is sure to remain the benchmark for all others to follow.

Features may include:

• Engine

Combining compact dimensions with immense power output, this 450 cc fuel-injected SOHC powerplant is the most powerful and refined on the market. Its class-leading power delivery is available throughout the entire rev range and with its low weight of only 29.2 kg (64.3 lbs), is also the lightest 450 mills engine out there.

• Cylinder Head

The KTM 450 XCF-W engine is fitted with a compact SOHC cylinder head for optimal mass centralization. The head configuration promises efficient power delivery and unrivaled performance. A single overhead camshaft also ensures optimal gas flow, with low-friction rocker arms and timing chain guides guarantee consistent performance throughout the rpm range.

• Frame

All KTM XC-W and XCF-W models feature high-tech, lightweight Chromoly steel frames with race-derived geometry, optimal stiffness, and unparalleled feedback for the rider. This translates into a playful handling character, with remarkable stability at speed - not to mention FACTORY RACING style thanks to the striking orange coating. The subframe is made of extra-light and ultra-stable aluminum profiles, weighing less than 900 grams providing rear fender stability and durability in the event of a loop out.

• Swingarm

The KTM 450 XCF-W features a one-piece aluminum swingarm, which is manufactured using a gravity die-cast production process. This results in exeptional strength at the lowest possible weight and the perfect flex behavior.

• Handlebar

All KTM XCF-W models are equipped with adjustable, high-strength aluminum tapered handlebars made by NEKEN. These can be mounted in four different positions. Standard with ODI vulcanized grip on the right side and a comfortable ODI lock-on grip on the left, your only worry is hanging on, and letting rip.
