INTRODUCTION ANOTHER STEP IN EXCELLENCE The last two years have seen major steps forward in development for KTM’s high- ly-popular Enduro range. A new generation arrived for model year 2017 that had been re-designed from the ground up, followed by the revolutionary and world’s first serial pro- duction fuel-injection 2-stroke offroad competition machines with the KTM 250 EXC TPI and KTM 300 EXC TPI models launched last summer. It has been a fruitful time in the orange offroad world. 3 However, work never ceases at the KTM R&D department in Mattighofen, Austria and KTM once again has further refined these exceptionally dynamic, low-weight and high-per- forming machines across the entire 2-stroke and 4-stroke range. Each model year 2019 machine receives suspension revisions from WP, a factory-looking READY TO RACE orange frame along with detailed refinements that complement the high-quality Brembo brakes, No-Dirt footpegs, NEKEN handlebar, CNC milled hubs with high-end black Giant rims and more that comes as standard on these championship winning offroad bikes. In addition, the closed-course carbureted KTM 125 XC-W and KTM 150 XC-W machines enjoy a more in-depth engine update along with a newly designed DS clutch. Another record year in 2017 with 238,408 units sold across both brands of KTM AG equaling a 17% sales increase, and now with over 3,200 employees worldwide, the KTM AG expansion globally is very visible whilst the racing accolades continue to grow. With a changing formula for the sport of Enduro, and KTM’s ever-expanding headquarters in Austria having continued focus on developing machines with outstanding perfor- mance and rideability, the KTM EXC model year 2019 line-up is a world-beating formula ready to attack the most challenging of terrain. KTM EXC MY2019. INTRODUCTION THE NEW ERA OF ENDURO Enduro competition is a sizeable part of KTM’s rich sporting heritage and is a major player in the more than 280 world championships won by orange bikes. Last year once again saw many highlights for KTM in the Enduro scene around the world with Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Alfredo Gomez winning the Erzbergrodeo Red Bull Hare Scramble and Jonny Walker winning the Red Bull 111 Megawatt hard enduro event. Josep Garcia enjoyed an incredible debut season in the senior ranks and with it the young Spaniard took an outstanding Enduro2 World Championship win aboard his KTM 250 EXC-F, add- 4 ing to his great success at the International Six Days Enduro. However, in 2018 KTM enters a new era of enduro competition with the all-new World Enduro Super Series (WESS), a championship that searches for the ultimate enduro champion. With classic and iconic existing events such as the Trèfle Lozérien in France, comprised with the hardest of hard enduros such as the Erzbergrodeo Red Bull Hare Scramble as part of the racing calendar, as well as beach racing and the world-famous Gotland Grand National in Sweden, competitors in this seven-round series need to be the total all-rounder to reign supreme. The Red Bull KTM Factory Racing Team line-up of Jonny Walker, Taddy Blazusiak, who has decided to end his short retirement in lieu of the new challenge, Josep Garcia and Nathan Watson and their machines will be put to the test and finally the conclusion can be made on who is the world’s most complete enduro rider. 2018 SuperEnduro World Champion Cody Webb, who has enjoyed many fruitful visits to Europe in recent years, will also join the competition aboard his FMF KTM Factory Racing machine. Video production thanks to WESS’ partner Red Bull Media House is sure to deliver the highest quality of coverage globally for competitors and fans alike, and with a huge mass audience at some of the most recognizable events in enduro racing, where any amateur can race against the pros in what is essentially going back to the very roots of the sport, it will be an interesting season no doubt.

SWINGARM The brilliantly designed aluminum swingarm is casted in a single piece. This ensures that any inconsisten- cies and weak points that would otherwise be found in a welded swingarm are eliminated.

KTM EXC MY2019. CHASSIS & SUSPENSION E-STARTER & BATTERY With the exception of the KTM 125 XC-W, all EXC offroad competition models as well as the KTM 150 XC-W are equipped with an extremely robust E-starter. As of model year 2019, a more powerful lithium ion battery with an electrical capacity of 2 Ah AIR FILTER BOX is to be introduced. With the new power package, the bikes will start even more reliably than ever. The air filter box is designed to protect the air filter from dirt and grime and also provides maximum airflow with a minimum of intake noise. Inside the box, a large Twin Air filter element is mounted on a rigid cage, which also serves as a bracket to hold the air filter box in place. The benefit – the uncomplicated compact design means the air filter can be 6 replaced quickly and positioned correctly – without the need for tools. FUEL TANK All EXC fuel tanks are made of lightweight polyeth- ylene and have a transparent surface. The benefit is that all it takes for the rider to estimate the current level of fuel in the tank is a quick glance. The fuel tank cap also features an orange quick release button to speed up refueling. After just a quarter turn, the bayonet mechanism springs open and the fuel pump nozzle can be inserted immediately. All fuel injected models are also equipped with an integrated fuel pump system and an additional fuel gauge, which alerts the rider when the fuel level is low via a lamp fitted into the speedometer.
