2011 KTM 350 XC-F and 250 XC-F Presented

Austrian motorcycle manufacturer KTM announced it has expanded its 2011 off-road model line-up with two new additions, namely the 250 XC-F and the 350 XC-F. KTM celebrated the release of the new off-road models at Cahuilla Creek MX Park on December 17th.

The bikes were introduced to the public by the Factory FMF/KTM GNCC Team of Kailub Russell, Cory Buttrick and Charlie Mullins. All three riders will be racing the 350 XC-F in the 2011 GNCC Series.

The new 2011 XC-F’s are based on the 250 and 350 SX-F models built with specific components and settings for cross-country racing. They feature the latest generation SX-F style frames including linkage rear suspension and the most current generation SX-F engine including EFI and electric start.

While the 350SX-F uses an electric starter and the 250SX-F a kickstarter, the two new XC-F models are equipped with both starters.

The 350XC-F uses a 349.7cc single-cylinder four-stroke engine while the 250XC-F uses a 248.6cc single-cylinder four-stroke. Both engines use a Keihin electronic fuel-injection system with 42mm throttle bodies.

Both models have a 6-speed transmission, an 18-inch rear wheel, open hand guards and a side stand. Both models will also receive the larger 2.51 gallon off-road tank compared to the 1.98 gallon tank on the SX-F models.

The 2011 KTM 350XC-F and 250XC-F are scheduled to arrive at North American dealerships in January 2011. Pricing details, however, are yet to be announced.
