Engineered by Ktm for the enduro - offroad motorcycle segment, the 2023 Ktm 250 XC-W relies on a 249 cc (15.2 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke powerplant. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 66.4 x 72.0 mm (2.6 x 2.8 inches).
On the scales, the 250 XC-W measures 103.4 kg (228 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 960 mm (37.8 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,482 mm (58.3 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 9-liter (2.4 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 2.55 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 353 km (219 miles) between fill-ups.
