Beskrivelse

KTM has ruled off-road for decades. The special edition Six Days models celebrate this success with special performance upgrades and top-of-the-line components. In 2017 the ISDE (International Six Days of Enduro) will be held in Brive-la-Gaillarde, France and the KTM model line-up has been suitably equipped to handle anything the muddy and rocky terrain can throw at it.

BODYWORK

KTM R&D, KISKA Design and the factory racers had their say

in shaping the plastics with one goal: complete harmony between

rider and bike. Perfect ergonomics and contact points provide

maximum comfort in movement on the EXC. The I-beam structures

of the front and rear fenders guarantee maximum stability

and a low weight thanks to well thought-out construction

and mounting. They also stay cleaner for longer. Clever brake hose

routing on the front number plate prevents wear and tear.

HANDLEBAR

KTM engineers sure know how to handle handlebars. This

tapered one, made of high-strength aluminum by NEKEN,

features a throttle assembly, which now has a twin-cable for

EXC TPI models just like their 4-stroke brothers, with a new

double-cable aluminum body and straightforward free-play

adjustment. A volcanized grip sits on the right, while on the left

side of the bar a comfortable ODI lock-on grip is mounted, which

does not require any wire or glue to be fixed. A map select

switch at the handlebar allows for the selection of an alternative

map, so you can be fully prepared for any condition.

SEAT

Tailored to meet the needs of the world’s fastest backsides, this

durable seat offers great comfort, helping you master the most

challenging terrain all day long.

FRONT SUSPENSION

The WP Xplor 48 upside-down fork is a split fork developed by WP

in close collaboration with KTM. It is fitted with a spring on both

sides but features separated functions for each fork leg:

compression damping is fitted on the left side, while rebound is

on the right. The forks can easily be adjusted for compression

and rebound with the twist of a dial on the top of the forks.

New outer fork tubes and a reworked setting make for more

sensitivity, improved damping behavior and a reduced weight. In

addition, a sealed hydro-stop guarantees excellent resistance

to bottoming-out. Due to high-quality materials and a

state-of-the-art production process, the new WP Xplor 48 fork – with

approx. 300mm of travel – has outstanding response and

damping characteristics. A comfortable preload adjuster is

Sixdays standard and allows for a simple spring preload setting in

three steps without tools (standard, +3mm, +6mm).

ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

The engine management system (EMS) of the TPI models features

a new throttle body made by Dell`Orto with a diameter

of 39 mm and a control unit located below the seat. The control

unit determines the ignition timing and the amount of fuel to inject is based

on several sensor readings such as intake and ambient air

pressure, throttle position, oil and water temperature. Thanks

to altitude and temperature compensation the rider does not need

to worry about fiddling around with the jetting anymore.

FRAME

The high-tech, lightweight chrome-moly steel frame has a knack for

easy handling, outlandish rideability, precise cornering and

excellent stability. You can also count on high torsional rigidity

and low longitudinal stiffness. This results in better absorption

of the energy created from the front and rear suspension sucking

up jumps and bumps. In short: more comfort and less rider

fatigue. Laterally attached, lightweight engine head stays (the connection

between cylinder head and frame) contribute to a reduced vibration

level. Two threaded inserts in the lower cradle tubes allow

for safe fixation of an optional skid plate. The engineers could

pull off all that, while making their frame a big fat kilogram lighter

than that of the lightest competitor on the market. In addition,

it is easier to maintain, easier to work on and supplies more

space for the tank and other components. On the EXC TPI models

the upper frame tube features a slot where the oil filler cap

is mounted, which feeds the oil tank via a hose inside the frame tube.

The bike also features an extra-light subframe made of stable

aluminum profiles, which tiptoes the scales at less than 900g.

BRAKES

You can’t brake any harder, better, faster or stronger. High-tech Brembo

calipers are combined with lightweight Wave brake discs. The steel-flex

front brake hose has efficient protection and there’s an integrated

channel for the speedometer cable. First you outrun them,

then you outbrake them.

TRIPLE CLAMPS

All Sixdays models are fitted with high-end CNC machined triple

clamps anodized in orange and an offset of 22mm, ensuring

a solid grip of the fork and precise handling. The handlebar is

adjustable forwards and backwards over 4

positions, so the bike will fit you like your favorite gloves.
