2023 KTM 500 EXC-F Six Days

2023 KTM 500 EXC-F Six Days

Considered the hardest-hitting missile in the KTM dual-sport arsenal, the KTM 500 EXC-F SIX DAYS represents everything we love about big single-cylinder 4-strokes - torque, acceleration, and uncontestable power. Wrapped in all-new France Six Days Enduro (ISDE) edition colors, and featuring an extended list of top-of-the-line components, the KTM 500 EXC-F SIX DAYS brings the firepower.

Features may include:

• Engine

Combining compact dimensions with immense power output, this 510 cc fuel-injected SOHC powerplant is the most powerful and refined on the market. Its class-leading power delivery is available throughout the entire rev range and with its low weight of only 29.2 kilograms (64.3 lbs), is also the lightest half-liter engine out there.

• Cylinder head

The KTM 500 EXC-F SIX DAYS engine is fitted with a compact SOHC cylinder head for optimal mass centralization. The head configuration promises efficient power delivery and unrivaled performance. A single overhead camshaft also ensures optimal gas flow, with low-friction rocker arms and timing chain guides guarantee consistent performance throughout the rpm range.

• Frame

All KTM SIX DAY models feature high-tech, lightweight Chromoly steel frames with race-derived geometry, optimal stiffness, and unparalleled feedback for the rider. This translates into a playful handling character, with remarkable stability at speed - not to mention FACTORY RACING style thanks to the striking orange coating. The subframe is made of extra-light and ultra-stable aluminum profiles, weighing less than 2 pounds and providing rear fender stability and durability in the event of a loop out.

• Swingarm

The KTM 500 EXC-F SIX DAYS features a one-piece aluminum swingarm, which is manufactured using a gravity die-cast production process. This results in exceptional strength at the lowest possible weight and the perfect flex behavior.

• Handlebar

All KTM SIX DAYS models are equipped with adjustable, high-strength aluminum tapered handlebars, that can be mounted in four different positions. Standard with ODI vulcanized grip on the right side and a comfortable ODI lock-on grip on the left, your only worry is hanging on, and letting rip.

• Seat

It goes without saying that six days spent in the saddle require a certain level of comfort. For that reason, the KTM 500 EXC-F SIX DAYS features a softer, grippier seat, finished in a blue and red color combination.

• Six Days equipment

All KTM SIX DAYS models receive the full SIX DAYS treatment, meaning they benefit from an exclusive parts package, ranging from machined orange anodized triple clamps to a solid rear brake disc. Not to mention an assortment of parts emblazed with the SIX DAYS logo - there is no mistaking a KTM SIX DAYS for anything else.

• Decals

Vive la France! The 2023 KTM SIX DAYS models fly the French flag in celebration of the 96th edition of the International Six Days Enduro (ISDE). And, as always, the decals are applied using in-mold graphics which feature greater friction and fade resistance, keeping your SIX DAYS machines looking as fresh as ever.
