KTM 500 EXC-F SIX DAYS '26: Enduro Champion, Now Faster and More Agile.
The KTM 500 EXC-F SIX DAYS '26 represents the pinnacle of the enduro range, built specifically to honor the legendary "International Six Days Enduro" (ISDE) competition. No other brand matches KTM's success in this discipline, and this motorcycle is the quintessence of dual-sport performance.
511cc SOHC Engine: Equipped with a 510.9cc single-cylinder, 4-stroke SOHC (Single Overhead Camshaft) engine, this model is an unstoppable force. Weighing only 29.5 kg, the engine delivers a remarkable power-to-weight ratio and is designed for mass centralization, ensuring exceptional maneuverability.
Racing Chassis and Top-Level Handling: For the 2026 season, the model features a new chassis with a chrome-molybdenum steel frame, covered in glossy orange paint, providing exceptional feedback, optimal energy absorption, and high-speed stability. The new race-derived geometry ensures playful character and superior handling.
Competition Suspension:
- Front suspension: WP XACT-USD Ø 48 mm inverted fork with closed cartridge, offering 300 mm of travel. These forks deliver unmatched performance at every level.
- Rear suspension: WP Xplor PDS shock absorber, with 310 mm of travel. The PDS (Progressive Damping System) concept improves the chassis's anti-squat behavior, being a reliable and easy-to-maintain option in enduro racing.
Six Days Equipment: The model comes equipped with a range of high-performance components and exclusive visual elements, including high-strength GIANT wheels with Metzeler SIX DAYS Extreme tires, front and rear brake disc guards, engine protection (skid plate), cooling fan, and special SIX DAYS graphics incorporating the colors of the Italian flag (for the edition honoring Italy as ISDE host).
With a seat height of 963 mm and ground clearance of 347 mm, the KTM 500 EXC-F SIX DAYS '26 is the ultimate weapon, with an electronics package that includes Quickshifter (for clutchless gear changes, standard on 4-strokes) and ensures an uncompromising riding experience.
