SCRAMBLING THE COMPETITION: THE 2025 KTM 350 XC-F FACTORY EDITION IS HERE TO RACE

Setting the pace early on, Johnny Girroir took his 2025 KTM 350 XC-F to the sharp end of the 2024 Grand National Cross Country (GNCC) timing sheets, cementing it as the one to beat with a dominating performance allowing him to clinch the XC1 championship title with two rounds to spare.

The 2025 KTM 350 XC-F FACTORY EDITION takes its most important updates directly from FMF KTM Factory Racing GNCC efforts, making it an even more formidable race-bred machine. 

Charging into the holeshot of the cross-country racing circuit, the 2025 KTM 350 XC-F FACTORY EDITION builds on the newly refreshed 2025 KTM 350 XC-F by adding a layer of Factory Racing upgrades.

Starting with the chassis, the KTM 350 XC-F FACTORY EDITION brings the latest version of KTM’s offroad frame concept to the mix, sharing enhancements found on the 2025 KTM motocross range. 

New engine mounts, improved chassis flex characteristics, less weight, and rock-solid stability merge with the championship-winning WP XACT Closed Cartridge spring forks and WP XACT linkage shock. Noticeably improved cornering behavior is found, which is ideal for faster special stages.

Getting that power to the ground comes courtesy of all-new DUNLOP GEOMAX AT82 tires, which bring Progressive Cornering Block Technology (PCBT), and bi-directional tread to the fore. This means the tires do an active part in increased damping and bump absorption due to the new profile and construction while reducing knob deformation for better handling, performance, and durability. 

The 2025 XC-F range also saw the introduction of the Connectivity Unit Offroad – which is fitted as standard on the KTM 350 XC-F FACTORY EDITION. 

The CUO offers a wide range of functionalities and adjustability options via the KTMconnect app. This exists as two parts, namely, the CUO itself, mounted on the right upper fork between the lower and upper triple clamp, and the GPS sensor on the front fender. 

An updated swingarm with a machined chain slider for better mud dissipation and an updated rear brake pedal for improved durability and bending resistance are also highlights for the new model year. 

As expected on an FMF KTM Factory Racing machine, a state-of-the-art FMF muffler not only delivers class-leading performance at the lowest possible weight, but provides a throaty, Factory soundtrack, too.

  • FMF KTM FACTORY RACING GRAPHICS
