2025 KTM 500 EXC-F Champion Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2025 KTM 500 EXC-F Champion enduro - offroad motorcycle, KTM features a 510.9 cc (31.2 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 95.0 x 72.0 mm (3.7 x 2.8 inches) with a 12.8:1 compression ratio.

On the scales, the 500 EXC-F Champion measures 108.7 kg (240 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 963 mm (37.9 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,489 mm (58.6 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 8.5-liter (2.2 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 3.62 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 235 km (146 miles) between fill-ups.
