GET READY TO DOMINATE THE COMPETITION WITH THE 2027 KTM XC RANGE
The 2027 KTM XC and XC-F range continues KTM’s longstanding Cross Country racing dominance, delivering a purpose-built package for Hare & Hound and Hare Scramble competition straight from the showroom floor.
With deep roots in modern GNCC competition, KTM Cross Country machinery has become synonymous with podium performance. For 2027, the XC and XC-F models build on this proven success, drawing directly from KTM Factory Racing experience to deliver race-ready handling, durability, and performance where it matters most – on the start line and through the final lap.
Visually, the 2027 KTM XC and KTM XC-F range adopts an updated colorway and graphic design that sharpens its Factory Racing identity. Bold new red highlights on the tank shrouds introduce a fresh accent while maintaining the unmistakable KTM aesthetic. Applied using KTM’s proven in-mold graphics technology, the finish delivers long-term durability to match the demands of Cross Country racing.
At the heart of each machine in the 2027 KTM XC range is a proven, class-leading engine with 6-gear transmissions developed specifically for the demands of Cross Country. Delivering the balance of stability, feel, and predictability required to sustain race pace, the lightweight chromoly steel frames position the engine perfectly for mass centralization and anti-squat.
Suspension is handled by the WP XACT Closed Cartridge spring forks and WP XACT shock, with standard settings shaped by extensive KTM Factory Racing experience. The result is assured front-end confidence, consistent rear-wheel traction, and reliable performance across long race distances and constantly changing terrain.

KTM 125 XC, KTM 250 XC, KTM 300 XC - 4-Stroke models

For riders seeking additional adjustability, 4-stroke KTM XC-F models are compatible with the optional Connectivity Unit Offroad, available through the KTM PowerParts catalog.
