2022 KTM EXC-F
Shortly after releasing all the details on the Husqvarna enduro models for 2022, this week KTM unveiled the orange versions of the bikes. We cover the two-strokes separately, here we focus on the four-stroke line-up of 250 EXC-F, 350 EXC-F, 450 EXC-F and 500 EXC-F.
The primary difference between the Husqvarna and KTM ranges are that the KTM machines run KTM’s traditional PDS rear shock system with no linkage, while the Husky machines run a conventional linkage system.
The 2022 KTM Enduro range is expected to go on sale in Australian dealership this July, 2021.
