2024 KTM 150 XC-W

Taking its place as the entry-level enduro weapon in the XC-W arsenal, the 2024 KTM 150 XC-W isn't one to take for granted. Featuring the same model enhancements as the rest of the KTM 2024 XC-W range - like an all-new frame, closed-cartridge suspension, new bodywork, and an all-new TBI fueling system - it packs enough punch to hang on to the big boys, while commanding just as much respect.

PREPERATION MAKES PERFECT

• Adjustability

Getting READY TO RACE has never been easier. Thanks in part to its all-new suspension, the 2024 KTM XC-W range boasts totally tool-free suspension setup at both ends. At the rear, the all-new shock absorber design features hand-adjustable dual compression control, allowing riders to adjust high- and low-speed settings in a matter of seconds. On the front, the forks are also easily adjusted thanks to hand-adjustable clickers on the bottom of the fork shoe and on the fork top cap, allowing riders to change settings on the fly without the need for any tools.

• Air filter box

Maximum airflow with minimal water intrusion, a new air filter box is designed with precisely positioned inlet ducts aimed at preventing air deformation and maintaining filter protection. An enduro-specific splash protector under the airbox prevents water or dirt from splashing up from the rear wheel, while the Twin Air filter and air filter support design feature a simple fail-proof mounting system for safe and accurate filter installation, ensuring the air filter is easily accessed, without tools, for fast track-side maintenance.

BENCHMARK LAP

• Engine

Quite literally in a class of its own, the 2024 KTM 150 XC-W has an impressive powerplant for its size. With many parts being rearranged, modified, or developed from the ground up, the 2024 KTM 150 XC-W boasts an impressive 36.7 hp, with an overall weight of just 18,8 kg, setting the benchmark for youngsters, beginners, and experienced enduro riders looking for an ultra-lightweight, agile 2-stroke off-roader.

• Throttle Body Injection

Forget TPI, the 2024 KTM 2-stroke Enduro models feature all-new electronically-controlled Throttle Body Injection - or TBI. The ECU, together with a new Keihin 39mm throttle body,calculates the ideal air-fuel mixture by constantly analyzing water temperature, air temperature, ambient pressure, and pressure within the crankcase, the rpm, and the throttle position to ensure the smoothest and most consistent power delivery in the most gnarly of enduro conditions.

ON THE CHARGE

• Frame

Specifically engineered for longitudinal rigidity, the 2024 2-stroke KTM XC-W range is engineered around an all-new black powder-coated frame providing exceptional rider feedback, energy absorption, and high-speed stability. This has been achieved by repositioning the rotating masses in the frame and the inclusion of a forged steering head connection. New parallel frame mounts also improve flex characteristics, while the footrest mounts have also moved inwards, slimming things down. And when the ride comes to an end, a completely redesigned forged one-piece side stand ensured things your enduro weapon stands proud.
