KTM has unveiled a seven-strong enduro range for 2026, with three two-stroke models joining in.
More ‘specials’ have been promised by the Austrian company.
While we wait to see what those special models are, KTM’s updated international 2026 range features the 125 XC-W and 250 XC-W motorcycles, both of which are part of the two-stroke segment. You’ll find Throttle Body Injection (TBI) technology in the 150cc and up 2-stroke models.
In the four-stroke segment, KTM has unveiled the 250 EXC-F, 350 EXC-F, 450 EXC-F and 500 EXC-F models.
KTM has had to change the names on every two-stroke except the 300 EXC because of European emissions laws.
The real updates to the 2026 Enduro models
KTM tells us that the 2026 KTM Enduro platform has been refined, with the bikes running common chassis, aluminium swingarms and hybrid subframes, forged triple clamps, and branded parts like Neken handlebars, Brembo brakes and hydraulic clutch, Keihin throttle body, and ODI lock-on grips.
There are some updates like 48mm WP XACT Closed Cartridge forks which have new damping settings, lighter, shorter springs, and a reworked pressure reservoir which KTM say has revised geometry of the spring support. A new one-piece hydro stop rounds off the front fork updates and results in an overall weight-saving of 200 grams.
The KTM PDS rear suspension has some changes, mostly to compliment the new fork settings.
There’s also a new cover on the fuel connector for all the enduro bikes that adds some protection., but also seals the pipe better for protection from muck and water.
The new radiator cap makes it easier and faster to open.
A radiator fan now comes as standard on the 300 EXC and all EXC-F models, plus the KTM 450 XCF-W.
The 2026 enduro models get a fresh look with in-mold graphics on the bi-composite plastics. Vivid orange with flashes of red on the fork guards and re-modelled tank spoilers to help with airflow and cooling.
The gripper seat cover is black.
Knowing KTM, the bikes will be here soon.
