For decades, the 250 cc 2-stroke cross country class has been at the forefront of pure unadulterated performance. It is epitomized by sweet-smelling 2-Stroke smoke, top-end powerbands and rocketship-like acceleration. The 2023 KTM 250 XC takes that to an all-new level, thanks to a container-load of cutting-edge advancements across the board. For 2023, this 2-Stoke legend has stepped up, and even further out of reach of the competition.
