2027 KTM 350 EXC-F - ORANGE
The 2027 KTM 350 EXC-F in ORANGE is built for riders who want an enduro bike with a reputation for 250-like agility and 450-like power, backed by a versatile 349.7 cm³, liquid-cooled, 1-cylinder 4-stroke platform and a 6-speed transmission. KTM equips the EXC-F range with practical trail-ready details like electric start powered by a 2 Ah lithium-ion battery, a standard radiator fan, and an LED headlight for serious illumination. With WP suspension at both ends and KTM’s PDS rear shock layout, it’s a focused package for everything from technical terrain to fast special stages.
High-revving 350 powerplant
At the heart of the 350 EXC-F is a compact 349.7 cm³ single-cylinder, liquid-cooled 4-stroke engine with Keihin EMS. KTM highlights its high-revving, low-friction design and a 2° backward engine tilt for an impeccable center of gravity, delivering responsive character with an emphasis on mass centralization and control.
WP suspension with PDS rear
WP XACT-USD 48 mm front forks and a WP XPLOR shock with PDS handle enduro impacts with a setup KTM positions as stable and responsive at speed. Travel is 300 mm front and 310 mm rear, giving the chassis room to work through rough terrain while maintaining the composed feel enduro riders look for.
Tool-free adjustability and smart trail tech
KTM’s Enduro range is designed around quick, convenient setup changes. The suspension features tool-free adjustability, and the Offroad Control Unit (OCU) replaces traditional fuses and relays with LED status indication for easier troubleshooting under the seat. Add in electric start, a standard radiator fan, and LED lighting, and it’s a bike that’s ready to be ridden and maintained efficiently.
Engine, fueling, and drivetrain focus
The 2027 350 EXC-F uses a 349.7 cm³, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder 4-stroke engine managed by Keihin EMS and paired with a 6-speed transmission. KTM describes the engine as light and compact, and notes a 2° backward tilt to support an impeccable center of gravity. The exhaust system follows the same mass-centralization mindset with a compact, close-routing header design and a short aluminum silencer finished in a premium matt black coating.
Practical trail details extend to the fuel system as well. The transparent polythene (XPE) fuel tank is a signature KTM Enduro element, using a one-piece fuel pump and filter with easy fuel filter access. KTM also fits a protection cap on the CPC fuel connector to help prevent dirt intrusion and add protection from sticks or stones.
Chassis stability, braking, and key dimensions
The chassis is built around a central double-cradle-type 25CrMo4 steel frame, paired with an aluminum-reinforced polyamide rear subframe. KTM’s design emphasis is on rider feedback, energy absorption, and high-speed stability, supported by details like a forged steering head connection and CNC-milled triple clamps made from high-grade aluminum for tuned steering stem stiffness and precise fork alignment.
Braking is handled by disc brakes front and rear with 260 mm front and 220 mm rear brake disc diameters. The geometry and stance include a 63.9° steering head angle and a 1489 mm wheelbase, with 347 mm of ground clearance and a 963 mm seat height. Wheels are sized 1.6 x 21 in front and 2.15 x 18 in rear, with a 520 X-Ring chain specified. Weight (without fuel) is listed at 112.8 kg.
Suspension setup and quick adjustments
Up front, the 350 EXC-F runs WP XACT-USD forks (Ø 48 mm) with compression and rebound adjustment. KTM also details a WP XACT Closed Cartridge spring fork design with optimized oil flow aimed at consistent damping, plus fork protection rings to help guard against dirt intrusion. At the rear, a WP XPLOR shock absorber with PDS is paired with a preload adjuster, and KTM positions the PDS concept as a reliable and maintenance-friendly option for competitive enduro racing.
Where this bike stands out day-to-day is how fast it can be tuned. KTM states the Enduro range features tool-free suspension setup at both ends, including hand-adjustable clickers on the fork and hand-adjustable dual compression controls at the rear for high- and low-speed settings, making it easier to adapt the bike to changing terrain without digging for tools.
Ergonomics, lighting, and electrical system details
KTM designs the Enduro range around a rider-focused body-position triangle intended to improve knee contact, especially when standing on the pegs. The bike uses plastics shaped to help expel mud buildup in wet conditions, along with a flat seat profile and a high grip seat cover to support rider movement and control. The subframe design is also used to integrate electronic components without extra brackets or holders.
For visibility, KTM fits an LED headlight unit and light mask, and notes improved triple clamp protection and a revised mounting approach that does away with rubber mounting straps for improved fitment. The electrical system includes a proven electric start, powered by an ultra-lightweight 2 Ah lithium-ion battery, with key electrical components positioned under the seat for accessibility. The Offroad Control Unit adds LED output status indication and can deactivate outputs individually in an over-current event, supporting quicker diagnosis on the trail.
