2008 KTM 530 XCR-W ZA Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in KTM's enduro - offroad motorcycle lineup, the 2008 KTM 530 XCR-W ZA pairs a 510.4 cc (31.1 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) with a 11.9:1 compression ratio.

On the scales, the 530 XCR-W ZA measures 113 kg (249 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 925 mm (36.4 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,475 mm (58.1 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 9-liter (2.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
