This means that there is no need for re-jetting or mixing fuel, making this easy-to-shred thoroughbred even simpler to ride and work on while delivering excellent fuel efficiency and clean exhaust emissions. Recognized for its supreme agility, the KTM 150 XC-W TPI benefits from a lightweight frame with class-leading flex characteristics that helps elevate rider and machine to incredible new levels of competence.

“XC” means cross-country. “W” represents its wide-ratio transmission. “KTM” stands for winning. This nimble, lightweight, extreme terrain master is all new for 2020 and now proudly features the “TPI” (transfer port injection) letters next to its name. This means that there is no longer a need for rejetting or mixing fuel, making this race-ready machine even simpler to ride and work on. Already recognized for its supreme agility, the new KTM 150 XC-W TPI benefits from a brand-new frame with improved flex characteristics that, together with a list of refinements including new bodywork and updated suspension, helps elevate rider and machine to incredible new levels of performance.

2021 KTM 150 XC-W TPI Totalmotorcycle.com Features and Benefits

Exhaust

When it comes to improved power delivery and performance, the new exhaust plays a key role and packs a punch that is hard to beat. The pipe is produced with the latest 3-D stamping technology and has an optimized shape. The silencer also features a reworked design that includes a new perforated inner tube and lighter wool. The new exhaust works perfectly with the new TPI engine, producing excellent enduro-specific performance with significantly better bottom end power than its carbureted predecessor. Last but not least the plastic mounting system of the muffler is replaced by 2 welded, aluminium brackets that help reduce the weight of the muffler by 60 g.

Engine

Thanks to state-of-the-art engineering, innovative 2-stroke design and revolutionary TPI fuel injection technology, the 150 cc 2-stroke powerplant is more refined than ever before, delivering class-leading power throughout the entire rev range. The benefit to this compact, lightweight 2-stroke, is reflected in the highly effective power delivery and easy rideability, making it a great option for those looking to delve into more extreme action

Airbox

The new airbox on the KTM 150 XC-W TPI has been completely reworked to suit the new throttle body for the TPI system. It also allows for better flow dynamics and together with new intake snorkels, assists in delivering optimal power and throttle response. Despite the obvious performance enhancements, the new design also offers maximum protection against soiling of the air filter. The large twin-air air filter is mounted on a cleverly designed stiff cage that minimizes incorrect installation. As found on previous models, filter maintenance is quick and easy and does not require tools – a standard, original feature from KTM.

Frame

All XC-W models feature new high-tech, lightweight chromoly steel frames. This includes hydro-formed elements produced by state-of-the-art robot welding. They retain their race-proven geometries, but by redesigning certain areas they now have a higher lateral, longitudinal and torsional stiffness, resulting in better feedback for the rider, playful handling and improved stability. The laterally attached engine head stays (the connection between cylinder, head and frame) are now made of aluminum, reducing vibration and further contributing to precise cornering. The bikes also feature newly designed lateral frame guards with a structured surface, improving grip, while also serving as a heat protector against the muffler on the right side. The subframe is made of extra-light and stable aluminum profiles, weighing less than 2 lbs (900 gr) and is 40 mm longer than before

Seat

The XC-W range features state-of-the-art seat technology with a newly shaped surface that provides improved ergonomics and much better seat comfort thanks to higher foam padding. The seat is conveniently fixed to the bike using one long, lateral screw, making it safe and easy to handle.

Handlebar

All KTM XC-W models are equipped with the same high-strength aluminum tapered handlebar, made by NEKEN. The handlebar allows for four different positions. The handlebars come standard with an ODI vulcanized grip on the right side and a comfortable ODI
