PERFECT BALANCE.Heading off to explore an abandoned town? Done. Churning dirt in a haunted forest? Easy. Charging through the deep sandy deserts? Let's go! The new 2024 KTM 500 XW-F doesn't shy away from anything. Built around an all-new frame with best-in-class suspension, this large-displacement powerhouse is surprisingly usable, making the KTM 500 XW-F the ultimate half-liter weapon in anyone's offroad arsenal. ENGINEWarp speed, engaged! The Tm 500 XW-F is an undeniable powerhouse. Weighing in at a mee 65 lb (29.5 kg), it's not only more powerful but lighter than previous generation engine too. For 2024, it's been designed with mass centralization in mind, tilting the engine 2 degrees backwards and repositioning the sprocket 3 mm lower. The result? An improved center of gravity, better handle, maneuverability, and anti-squat behavior.ADJUSTABILITY Getting READY TO RACE has never been easier. Thanks in part to its all-new suspension, the 2024 KTM XW-F range boasts totally tool-free suspension setup at both ends. At the rear, our legendary, race-winning PDS technology features an all-new shock absorber design with hand-adjustable dual compression controls. This allows riders to adjust high- and low-speed settings in a matter of seconds. On the front, the forks are also easily adjusted thanks to hand-adjustable clickers on the bottom of the fork shoe and on the fork top cap, making changing settings on the fly as easy as twisting the throttle.OFFROAD CONTROL UNITAn all-new Offroad Control Unit - or OCU - under the seat replaces all the electronic fuses and relays. All outputs are switched depending on signals from the voltage regulator and the ECU continuously. In the event of over-current, outputs are deactivated individually. This makes for easy error detection as the status of each output is indicated by a red or green LED light. This means diagnosing an electrical issue out on the trail is as easy as lifting the seat, and there's no more need to carry fiddly fuses.Advertised pricing excludes applicable taxes, title, and licensing and is subject to change without notice.
