KTM 250 EXC F - 2027 Specifications and Reviews

The KTM 250 EXC-F remains for 2027 the entry point into KTM's four-stroke enduro lineup, powered by a 249.9cc single-cylinder DOHC engine with a high 14.4:1 compression ratio, through a 6-speed gearbox and Brembo-actuated wet clutch. It shares its chromoly steel frame, WP XACT closed-cartridge fork, and WP Xplor PDS shock with the rest of the EXC-F range, at a claimed 106.2 kg dry weight and 963mm seat height. It remains a competition-focused enduro machine built for technical off-road riding rather than street use.

Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a serious enduro weapon best suited to experienced off-road riders comfortable with a tall, light, powerful competition bike.
PurposeBuilt for competitive enduro racing and technical trail riding rather than commuting or road touring.
Rider FitThe tall seat height and minimal weight demand good rider fitness, leg length, and off-road bike-handling skill rather than raw strength.
CharacterA sharp, high-revving, race-bred single that rewards aggressive, active riding with explosive agility over rough terrain.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for beginners, commuters, or anyone wanting a comfortable long-distance road or highway machine.

2027 KTM 250 EXC F Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 963mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will not reach the ground comfortably on the 2027 KTM 250 EXC F, with a cramped knee angle of around 85 degrees and an upright riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
