KTM 250 EXC-F 2014

The big 2017 upgrade has been particularly good for the small four-stroke. Because KTM has been able to further increase the power on the lively machine. Now even those riders for whom it was just a tad too weak can try it again. Of course, it has become even more manageable and all the new strengths of the 2017 models also apply to it. But with its 40 hp, it has broadened its target group more than the other 17 models.

Easy to ride - in every respect

traction and power delivery unbeatable

beginners hold the line easier with it than with the 2-strokes

in terms of weight, there is only a slight difference in handling compared to 2-strokes.

Actually a great bike for beginners, but equipped like the "big ones" it is also almost as expensive as a "big" Enduro

Lifting the front wheel over obstacles requires better riding technique than with a 350 or 450.

During the test, we rode the FE250 in standard condition and then also with the Rekluse automatic clutch. The automatic clutch really suits the FE250, which is easy to ride and easy on the eyes. The accessory is probably also perfectly suited to the bike's target group. All in all, the FE250 is a motorbike that can do much more than one would expect at first glance. In very hard sections, however, it is the less talented riders who would like to have a little more torque.

Very easy to ride

engine responds well over the entire rev range

light and manageable but not nervous like the 350

high-quality components.

When it comes to riding errors on steep slopes or in front of large obstacles, the 250 cannot work magic

although the 250 likes to present itself as an entry-level enduro, it is logically almost as expensive in the price list as the big enduros.
