Positioned in Ktm's enduro - offroad motorcycle lineup, the 2023 Ktm 500 EXC-F pairs a 510.9 cc (31.2 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 95.0 x 72.0 mm (3.7 x 2.8 inches).
On the scales, the 500 EXC-F measures 105.6 kg (233 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 9.2-liter (2.4 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 3.62 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 254 km (158 miles) between fill-ups.
