2015 KTM Freeride 250 R Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in KTM's enduro - offroad motorcycle lineup, the 2015 KTM Freeride 250 R pairs a 249 cc (15.2 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. 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 Freeride 250 R measures 92.5 kg (204 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 915 mm (36 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,418 mm (55.8 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry.
