KTM MOTORCYCLE EXC 530


Those who feel the 530 EXC beneath them know what to expect: the ultimate combination of fighting machine and workhorse. The large SOHC engine develops brutal four-stroke power and also convinces with smooth power delivery on selective trails. In combination with the completely overhauled chassis, the new 530 EXC is the first choice for everyone who simply can’t get enough.

Engine
The SIX-DAYS models draw their power from two-stroke and four-stroke racing engines which have been optimised down to the finest detail for Enduro racing. Powerful, with perfect power delivery and excellent durability. Pure energy!

Tank
Ergonomic tank for ideal contact with the bike. Special KTM airflow system with ducts beneath the spoilers for an optimum fresh air supply to the airbox. Another advantage for racing: transparent polyethylene lets you see the fuel level from the outside.

Seat
The seat of the Six-Days bike is supplied with additional pockets and logos. It also has a reduced-weight, optimised foam core for improved comfort and longer service life.
