2025 KTM 350 XC-F Factory Edition Totalmotorcycle.com Features and Benefits

CLICK INTO ACTION

Easy Suspension Adjustment

The 2025 KTM 350 XC-F FACTORY EDITION boasts tool-free suspension setup at both ends. Thanks to an all-new WP XACT Closed Cartridge spring fork and revised shock absorber, dialing in your FACTORY EDITION cross-country machine is as easy as twisting the throttle. On the rear, a hand-adjustable dual compression control allows riders to adjust high- and low-speed settings in a matter of seconds. On the front end, the forks are also easily adjusted thanks to hand adjustable clickers on the bottom of the fork shoe and fork top cap.

BREATHE EASY

AIRBOX

The airbox is designed with precisely positioned inlet ducts aimed at preventing air deformation ensuring maximum airflow and maximum filter protection. The air filter is easily accessed, without tools, by removing the left side panel. Easy maintenance is guaranteed by the Twin Air filter and filter cage design that features a simple fail proof mounting system for safe and accurate filter installation.

 

RACE-READY RUBBER

Tires

Just like the KTM 350 XC-F FACTORY EDITION has been developed over many decades of experience, so too has the DUNLOP AT82 rubber fitted at both ends. Boasting a bi-directional rear tread pattern with Progressive Cornering Block Technology, these tires provide unmatched levels of grip, consistency, and bump absorption – not to mention high-speed stability and overall durability. These are, of course, wrapped around a D.I.D Factory Wheel Set.

 

FULL-FACTORY FEEL

CTG

A gloss-orange frame, orange Factory GUTS seat, and the unmistakable Red Bull FMF KTM Factory Racing colors can only mean one thing – READY TO RACE!

UNMATCHED PERFORMANCE

More Usable Power

The 2025 KTM 350 XC-F FACTORY EDITION’s lightweight powerplant rules the roost in a class of its own. The engine has been tilted 2° backward with a lower sprocket position, which together with the benefits of mass centralization and reduced weight, makes the anti-squat behavior of the chassis second to none. 450-rivalling performance and an overall engine weight of only 60.6 lb and complimented by the power and torque gains provided by the titanium FMF Factory 4.1 RCT Silencer that also has the benefit of shaving more weight from the package. You’ll leave the competition with more than a little mud on the face.

 

DROP THE CLUTCH

Launch Control & Quickshifter

Count on the best race starts with the high-strength FACTORY START DEVICE fixed to the front fork with two different selectable preloads for the best grip and optimum race feeling. The 2025 KTM 350 XC-F FACTORY EDITION comes standard with launch control and a Quickshifter function, allowing for fast upshifts without using the clutch. Launch control is easily engaged by pressing the traction control and Quickshifter buttons simultaneously and works by limiting the amount of power to the rear wheel, improving traction, and preventing loss of control under hard acceleration. Meanwhile, the Quickshifter function means you can bang through from 2nd to 6th gear with your focus solely on the first corner.

 

TOTAL TRACTION

Selectable Maps + TC

The map select switch on the 2025 KTM 350 XC-F FACTORY EDITION features a simpler design, allowing for easier functionality in switching between 2 engine maps. Map 1 provides a more linear power curve, while map 2 punches all-out with aggressive throttle and explosive power. Luckily, Traction control is easy toggled to an on or off position from the same switch, ensuring maximum traction and a distinct advantage in wet or muddy conditions.

 

 

CORNER ON RAILS

Absolute Control

No matter how gnarly the terrain, you’ll stay in complete control thanks to a rider-focused frame design that has not only been engineered for longitudinal rigidity, but also repositions rotating mass closer to the center of gravity. Thick frame walls also improve reliability, flex characteristics and offer unmatched rider feel. The shock mounting also provides the perfect amount of anti-squat for better traction out of corners, while the footpeg mounting position is positioned in such a way to reduce the risk of hooking up on roots or rocks. Additionally, forged brackets on the lower frame rails allow for easy installation of the light custom-designed skid plate, which has been endurance tested, is simple to mount and is the best protection in race conditions for the frame and the engine.

UNMATCHED PERFORMANCE

Ultimate stopping power

Don’t worry about stopping power with the 2025 KTM 350 XC-F FACTORY EDITION. Both front and rear brake systems have been upgraded with WAVE DISCS for more resistant and longer-lasting effectiveness. The ultra-light front brake disc guard is made from state-of-the-art 2-component injection molding and is designed to help with fast tire changes and brake servicing without removal.

 

FLUID RIDER MOTION

Ergonomics

Like the 2025 KTM XC and XC-F range, the 2025 KTM 350 XC-F FACTORY EDITION features a specially-developed rider triangle, providing unmatched knee contact and gripping surfaces – especially when standing on the pegs. While the plastics work to expel mud buildup in wet, muddy conditions, the flat seat profile and high-grip FACTORY RACING SEAT provide exceptional rider movement and control. The FACTORY RACING SEAT itself is not only another aesthetic touch towards the 2025 KTM 350 XC-F FACTORY EDITION’s racing roots but has been created to prioritize grip and resistance, while keeping exactly the same seat height as the standard models.

UNMATCHED PERFORMANCE

Go the distance

You call it a fuel tank. We call it a 2.24 gallon (8.5 liter) race bucket. For 2025, the transparent polythene fuel tank has been upgraded with a new fuel tank roll – which not only secures the tank more firmly in place, and allows for easy fuel level monitoring – it also protects the frame from unwanted scrubbing and race rash.

HARNESSING GRAVITY

Mass Centralization

Ready to force the opposition into submission? Together with the benefits of mass centralization and the anti-squat behavior of the chassis, the 2025 KTM 350 XC-F FACTORY EDITION gets its power down perfectly when tearing out of corners. Riders will feel the extra precision and alignment from the CNC milled aluminum FACTORY RACING TRIPLE CLAMPS in this regard. Optimally tuned steering stem stiffness and geometry brings gains in handling and stability among other advantages.

UNFLAPPABLE FRONT END

WP XACT Fork

WP XACT Closed Cartridge spring fork is part of the package for the 2025 KTM 350 XC-F FACTORY EDITION. The mid-valve piston concept optimizes the oil flow within the cartridge, providing fast and consistent damping characteristics. This also avoids unwanted foaming of oil which can lead to the awkward changes in damping characteristics and less consistent damping behavior. The fork is also adjustable in rebound and compression, thanks to hand adjustable clickers on the bottom of the fork shoe and fork top cap.

 

ALL-OUT TRACTION

WP XACT Shock

The rear shock features a compact build with 300 mm travel. A CFD-optimized main piston delivers optimal initial comfort, while finding the ideal settings is taken care of by a hand-adjustable dual compression control that allows for high- and low-speed adjustments by hand. This, together with an easy-to-use rebound adjuster, means riders benefit from the right set-up for improved balance, comfort, and cornering agility.

 

UNOBTRUSIVE IMPACT

Ultimate rigidity

A hollow, die-cast aluminum swingarm is designed to offer optimal stiffness and reliability at the lowest possible weight. A 22 mm rear axle is also fitted to match the flex characteristics of the chassis. This, along with the chain guard and chain gliders result in improved durability and less chance of hooking on boots or external objects out on the trail, as well as reducing dirt build up around the swingarm and chain guard. The 2025 KTM 350 XC-F FACTORY EDITION has a special high-strength aluminum REAR SPROCKET that will reduce vibration and rotating masses and will also catch the eye!

 

FLAT OUT TO THE FINISH

Consistency

The compact and lightweight SOHC cylinder features a shorter profile with the camshaft located closer to the center of gravity. Lightweight valves are actuated via a DLC coated rocker arm with optimized timing, specifically designed to deliver precise levels of torque and throttle response. The diameter of the intake valves is 40 mm, while on the exhaust it is 33 mm. The intake ports also allow higher flow coefficients, resulting in a more efficient and powerful engine, with the valve cover reducing the number of mounting screws, and a single oil spray jet guarantees efficient cooling while keeping the weight low. A HINSON OUTER CLUTCH COVER boosts the protective capabilities of the 2025 KTM 350 XC-F FACTORY EDITION’s and is also weight optimized

WELCOME TO NEXT LEVEL MOTO

Connectivity Unit Offroad

Fitted as standard on the 2025 KTM 350 XC-F FACTORY EDITION, the Connectivity Unit Offroad offers a wide range of functionalities and adjustability options via the KTMconnect app. The CUO gives racers a new insight into their riding, allowing for easy alterations in engine behavior, and even provides optimized suspension settings based on individual preferences and riding conditions. Riders – meet your new secret weapon.
