Engineered by Ktm for the enduro - offroad motorcycle segment, the 2023 Ktm Freeride E-XC features a purpose-built liquid-cooled electric configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 12.1 HP (8.8 kW) at 4,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 42 Nm (31 lb-ft), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 1-speed gearbox and chain final drive.
On the scales, the Freeride E-XC measures 111 kg (245 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.11 HP/kg (9.17 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 910 mm (35.8 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.
