450 EXC-F (MY2024)

The 2024 450 EXC-F is built on KTM's new-generation enduro chassis, the fully adjustable WP XACT 48 mm closed-cartridge fork and WP XPLOR PDS shock package shared across the 2024 350, 450 and 500 EXC-F. The 449 cc single makes 57 hp and 32 lb-ft, and the steel frame keeps the mass low and centered. This is a competition enduro first and a street-registered bike second. Everything about the layout points at technical terrain rather than commuting comfort, and that focus shapes every decision KTM made with it.

On the trail it rewards a rider who already has the skills to use it. Power arrives clean and usable low in the rev range, tuned for traction over outright numbers, and the Brembo package gives it serious stopping hardware. Strong aftermarket support means building it up to your own spec is easy. The honest part: the 37.9-inch seat is tall, the 2.2-gallon tank keeps your range short, and it asks for active, committed riding every time out. Buy it for what it does in technical dirt, not for daily ease.
