At the heart of the 2018 KTM Freeride E-XC enduro - offroad motorcycle, KTM features a purpose-built liquid-cooled electric configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 24 HP (17.5 kW) while maximum torque reaches 42 Nm (31 lb-ft), transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and chain final drive.
