Special edition machines mark the 100th running of the International Six Days Enduro
One hundred years. That’s a milestone very few motorcycle events ever reach, but in 2027 the FIM International Six Days Enduro (ISDE) does exactly that. Widely regarded as one of the toughest team endurance races in off-road motorcycling, the event has challenged riders, manufacturers and machines for a century, making it the perfect occasion for KTM to unveil its latest EXC 6DAYS line-up.
The Austrian manufacturer has stuck to a familiar formula, taking its latest enduro platform and adding a collection of factory-inspired components, exclusive graphics and premium finishing touches that separate the 6DAYS models from the standard EXC range. For 2027, the range consists of five models – four four-strokes and one two-stroke.
Four-Stroke Family
The four-stroke line-up covers just about every type of enduro rider.
KTM 250 EXC-F 6DAYS
The smallest four-stroke in the range remains the lightweight option. Riders looking for a bike that places agility and easy handling high on the priority list will naturally gravitate towards the 250 EXC-F, making it an attractive option for technical terrain and tighter trails.
KTM 350 EXC-F 6DAYS
Many enduro riders still consider the 350cc capacity to be the sweet spot between outright power and manageable weight. The 350 EXC-F continues to occupy that middle ground, offering a versatile package aimed at riders who want one bike capable of tackling everything from club events to longer trail rides.
KTM 450 EXC-F 6DAYS
Stepping up in capacity brings the 450 EXC-F into territory favoured by experienced racers and faster riders. It has long been one of KTM’s flagship enduro machines and remains a popular choice where stronger acceleration and higher-speed terrain come into play.
KTM 500 EXC-F 6DAYS
At the top of the four-stroke range sits the 500 EXC-F. With the biggest engine in the line-up, it is aimed at riders who prefer generous torque for open trails, long-distance rides and varied terrain where effortless power delivery is often appreciated.
The Lone Two-Stroke
KTM 300 EXC 6DAYS
Representing the two-stroke camp is the ever-popular 300 EXC. For many riders, this remains one of the benchmark machines in modern enduro, thanks to its relatively lightweight package and the characteristics that have made 300cc two-strokes a favourite in technical riding and extreme enduro circles.
More Than Just Graphics
While the special edition bodywork immediately identifies the 6DAYS models, KTM has also equipped the range with a number of premium components straight from the factory. Riders can expect items such as CNC-machined triple clamps, a radiator fan, solid rear brake disc, Supersprox Stealth rear sprocket, skid plate, factory seat, orange frame, semi-floating front brake disc with Brembo calipers and exclusive Portugal-inspired graphics created specifically for the centenary edition of the ISDE.
Celebrating Enduro History
The biggest story, however, isn’t simply another model update. It’s the celebration of one of off-road motorcycling’s most iconic events. The 100th International Six Days Enduro is a landmark for the sport, recognising a race that has tested riders, machines and manufacturers for an entire century. KTM’s 2027 EXC 6DAYS range is designed to honour that occasion, with every model carrying special touches inspired by the historic event that will take place in Portugal.
Whether you’re drawn to the lightweight 250 EXC-F, the balanced 350, the muscular 450 and 500 four-strokes, or the iconic 300 EXC two-stroke, the 2027 KTM 6DAYS range offers a commemorative edition celebrating one of enduro’s biggest milestones.
