KTM 450 XC-F

The brand new 2013 KTM 450 XC-F features a completely new, significantly lighter engine, featuring groundbreaking injection technology that guarantees brutal yet controllable power. Packed into a chassis, which has been improved massively in terms of bodywork, frame and suspension, the 2013 KTM 450 XC-F sets a new benchmark among the 450 four-strokes in terms of performance and maneuverability with its easy handling.

Engine

KTM 450 XC-F

Less weight, less maintenance. But, because you can t save on everything, the 449.3 cm (27.418 cu in) sohc sx-f engine offers one major plus: more power. If you combine the 4.4 pounds saved (over the previous generation carburated engine) by the more compact design with the unbelievable 60 hp, you end up with unparalleled power development and handling previously unheard of in the 450 class.

Cylinder head

KTM 450 XC-F

This is precision engineering: a cylinder head reconfigured for optimal fueling characteristics with a very broad rev range. In this extremely compact and lightweight construction, only one camshaft specially designed for the ktm xc-f actuates four titanium valves via weight-reduced rocker arms (dlc-coated on the intake side). Together with ultra-light valve springs and spring retainers, a maximum engine speed of up to 11,500 rpm can be achieved for maximum power.

Crankshaft

KTM 450 XC-F

The crankshaft on the new ktm 450 xc-f with a 63.4 mm (2.496 in) stroke is equipped for 2013 with a revolutionary plain bearing in the lower conrod eye. This means that the conventional needle bearing is replaced by 2 press-fit bearing shells in the ultra-light pankl connecting rod, which run directly on the crankshaft s additionally reinforced crank pin. The sliding bearing is supplied with oil directly from the pressurized oil circuit via the crankshaft. In other words: no problem when it comes to rev limits, and the need for servicing the crankshaft is halved. And, because the gyrating mass has been reduced, the bike has more bite and it s even more agile and dynamic.

Frame

KTM 450 XC-F

The modern frame design of lightweight, high-strength, chromoly steel section tubes guarantees an ideal mix of longitudinal and torsional stiffness, resulting not only in easy handling and precise steering behavior, but also in excellent ride stability. The four-stroke frames in my 2013 feature a stiffer frame triangle and thinner-walled down tubes. This leads to an improvement in tracking stability (increased torsional stiffness) accompanied by a reduction in weight. The engine braces to the cylinder head have also been optimized, along with their attachment to the frame. The frame features a new color on the 2013 ktm 450 xc-f and it is the benchmark in terms of weight and stability.
