2026 KTM 500 EXC-F – BUILT FOR SAN DIEGO’S TOUGHEST TRAILS

The 2026 KTM 500 EXC-F continues its legacy as one of the most capable street-legal enduro motorcycles ever produced. Built to dominate everything from tight technical single-track to high-speed desert terrain, the 500 EXC-F delivers massive torque, razor-sharp handling, and the proven durability riders expect from KTM’s championship-winning enduro platform. Whether you're exploring remote backcountry trails or linking dirt sections with pavement, this machine is engineered to perform without compromise.

At the heart of the 500 EXC-F is a powerful 510.9cc single-cylinder four-stroke engine, designed for maximum efficiency and smooth power delivery across the entire RPM range. KTM’s advanced Keihin electronic fuel injection system with a 42mm throttle body ensures instant throttle response and consistent fueling in all riding conditions—from sea level desert riding to high-elevation mountain trails. Paired with a 6-speed transmission, the powertrain provides both low-end crawling capability for technical terrain and strong top-end performance for fast open trails.

The chassis is purpose-built for extreme off-road performance. A central double-cradle 25CrMo4 steel frame offers exceptional stability while maintaining lightweight agility, giving riders confidence when attacking rocky climbs, deep sand washes, and long desert sections. KTM pairs this frame with WP XACT 48mm front suspension and a WP XPLOR PDS rear shock, delivering outstanding control, adjustability, and bottoming resistance when pushing hard across unpredictable terrain.

For riders across Southern California and the greater San Diego region, the 500 EXC-F is the ultimate dual-sport weapon. Its combination of lightweight construction, premium suspension, and race-derived engineering allows it to excel everywhere from desert riding areas like Ocotillo Wells to tight mountain single-track and long dual-sport adventure loops. When the trail gets tough, the 500 EXC-F simply keeps going.
