250 EXC Six Days: THE PERFECT SYNTHESIS
The ideal combination of the playful handling of a 125 and the engine power of a 250cc enduro. A special bike that is not built for a specific Enduro World Championship class, but for all those who want to break fee from the competitive class-based society and who are looking for nothing more than fun, rideability, perfect ergonomics and reasonable costs. With even more performance than before and a completely revamped chassis, the 250 EXC Six Days satisfies these requirements even better than ever.
2012 KTM 250 EXC Six Days Features and Benefits
HANDLING OF A 125
NEW FRAME
The completely revamped frame made from high-quality chrome-molybdenum steel is characterised by even greater lateral stiffness. It is also even better at absorbing jolts introduced by the suspension system, whereby the playful handling and comfort of the 250 EXC Six Days have been further optimised.
NEW SWINGARM, NEW PDS, NEW SETTING
The 250 EXC Six Days's new, lighter, cast aluminium swingarm accommodates the shock absorber more centrally, in order to load the swing arms more evenly. The new, 7 mm (0.28 in) longer PDS shock absorber with adjustable rebound and high/low-speed compression damping, and a new setting is installed more flatly, so providing even more progression.
TELESCOPIC FORK, NEW SETTING
The 250 EXC Six Days is equipped with the latest WP upside-down fork with wider adjustment ranges and a new setting. The sensitive responsiveness and outstanding damping of the open-cartridge fork with 48 mm (1.89 in) outer tubes are a perfect complement for the 250 EXC Six Days's playful handling and precision.
NEW WHEELS
Practically unbeatable in terms of weight and stability, the new wheels have
CNC-machined hubs, Excel rims, zinc/nickel-coated spokes and aluminium nipples.
They reduce the unsprung and gyroscopic masses, hence bolstering the playful
handling of the 250 EXC Six Days.
NOW EVEN MORE ERGONOMIC
BODYWORK, KICKSTARTER
The 250 EXC Six Days's new bodywork with the very slim seat and spoiler lines,
plus excellent contact points, perfects the bike's ergonomics, making handling
even simpler and more precise. The longer rear fender protects the rider and
the redesigned kickstarter makes it easier to start the engine.
PERFORMANCE OF A 250
NEW INTAKE SNORKEL, NEW AIRBOX
The redesigned airbox on the 250 EXC Six Days and the flow-optimised intake
flange between the airbox and the carburettor now ensure even better charging
with fresh gas. This results in even freer revving and even more power in
all rev ranges for the liquid-cooled, two-stroke machine.
NOW WITH AN EVEN MORE SUPERIOR CHASSIS
