Suspension & Chassis Breakdown

How the 350 EXC-F is set up to track straight, turn precisely, and stay composed

This page focuses on the parts you feel every second you ride: the frame, geometry, suspension components, and braking hardware. Below you’ll find the manufacturer-published suspension and chassis specs for the 2027 KTM 350 EXC-F (Orange), plus a clear breakdown of what each item means when you’re dialing in setup.

WP XACT-USD, Ø 48 mm

• Front suspension: WP XACT-USD, Ø 48 mm
• Front travel: 300 mm (11.81 inch)
• Front adjustment: Compression and rebound adjustable

Compression and rebound adjustment lets you fine-tune how the fork resists impacts and how quickly it returns after a hit—useful when you’re balancing comfort, traction, and steering feel across changing terrain.

WP XPLOR shock absorber with PDS

• Rear suspension: WP XPLOR shock absorber with PDS
• Rear travel: 310 mm (12.2 inch)
• Rear adjustment: Preload adjuster

Preload adjustment is your baseline setup tool. It changes how much the rear settles under rider weight, which influences ride height, balance, and how the bike tracks through whoops, chop, and climbs.

Adjustability (tool-free setup emphasis)

KTM highlights tool-free suspension setup at both ends, with hand-adjustable controls designed for quick changes. If you ride a mix of tighter trails and faster open sections around San Diego, quick adjustability can help you adapt your feel without turning setup into a project.

Frame & subframe

• Frame design: Central double-cradle-type 25CrMo4 steel
• Rear subframe design: Aluminum-reinforced polyamide

The frame and subframe materials and construction are core to how the bike communicates traction and absorbs impacts. This is the foundation your suspension is working with.

Steering & stability dimensions

• Steering head angle: 63.9 °
• Wheelbase: 1489 mm
• Wheelbase (tolerance listing): 1489 ± 10 mm

Geometry influences how quickly the bike changes direction and how planted it feels at speed. Wheelbase and steering head angle are two of the biggest contributors to that overall character.

Ride height & clearance

• Seat height: 963 mm
• Ground clearance: 347 mm
• Weight (without fuel): 112.8 kg

Seat height and ground clearance help set expectations for stand-up ergonomics and obstacle clearance. Weight (without fuel) is a useful reference point when you’re thinking about how the bike will feel when changing lines or correcting mid-corner.

Braking hardware

• Front brake: Disc brake
• Rear brake: Disc brake
• Brake disc diameters (front/rear): 260 / 220 mm
• Front brake disc diameter: 260 mm (10.24 inch)
• Rear brake disc diameter: 220 mm (8.66 inch)

Disc sizes and the front/rear balance matter when you’re modulating traction on loose surfaces, setting entry speed, or controlling steep descents.

Wheels

• Wheels: 1.6 x 21"; 2.15 x 18"

Wheel sizing is a key part of how the bike rolls over trail chatter and how it feels when you place the front tire in ruts, rocks, or off-camber sections.

Chain spec

• Chain: 520 X-Ring

The chain is a small detail that still affects day-to-day ownership—especially if you ride dusty trails and want consistent drivetrain feel between services.
