KTM Following a significant overhaul in 2024, the 2025 range continues to feature revolutionary closed-cartridge suspension, refined frame and bodywork, and state-of-the-art technology that sets new benchmarks in the industry.
The most notable change is the ‘orange’ makeover. Here, the previous 1990s-inspired purple highlights are replaced by a timeless silver-gray graphic over predominantly orange bodywork and a black frame. The seat remains orange, featuring a high-grip seat cover and textured grip strips, which can also be found on the frame protectors, tank shrouds, and bar pad.
Return of the 125 cc KTM Enduro Model
The biggest news of 2025 is the reintroduction of a dedicated 125 cc KTM Enduro model to the lineup. After a decade of absence (the last EU model was in 2016), the 2025 KTM 125 XC-W has returned to reclaim its dominance in the 125 cc Junior Enduro category.
The KTM 125 XC-W is designed specifically for competition purposes. It stands out from other KTM 2-stroke models with several distinct features. It utilizes the engine of the 2025 KTM 125 SX, but it incorporates Enduro Transmission and Stator components from the KTM 150 EXC. Unlike other models in the KTM 2-stroke Enduro range, the KTM 125 XC-W doesn’t include an extra oil tank between the fuel tank and steering head, making it the sole pre-mix model in this regard. Additionally, it comes standard with a map select switch. All other main components are identical to the KTM EXC range.
Rear Suspension Enhancements
At the rear, handling is further refined, thanks to new settings for the WP XPLOR PDS shock, resulting in improved pressure balance and a lower risk of cavitation. The swingarm also gets an update, with a machined unit to improve the durability of the chain glider.
Front End Improvements
Upfront, a new and updated fuel tank roll now secures the tank more firmly in place while keeping the frame protected against scrubbing. At the handlebars, a new on/off switch gear is carried over from the KTM SX range.
Models and Technological Features
The 2025 KTM EXC 2-stroke range will consist of the KTM 125 XC-W, KTM 150 EXC, KTM 250 EXC, and KTM 300 EXC. The 4-stroke range remains unchanged, with the dirt-ripping KTM 250 EXC-F, KTM 350 EXC-F, KTM 450 EXC-F, and KTM 500 EXC-F filling the ranks.
