Engineered by KTM for the enduro - offroad motorcycle segment, the 2012 KTM 150 XC pairs a 143.6 cc (8.8 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 56.0 x 58.4 mm (2.2 x 2.3 inches).
On the scales, the 150 XC measures 94.2 kg (208 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 992 mm (39.1 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,480 mm (58.3 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 11.5-liter (3 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
