The XC segment was started by KTM and
we continue to be the only manufacturer
to offer a full line-up of 2-stroke and
4-stroke models for hardcore cross-country racing. The XC line-up utilizes the engines and chassis from the SX models but
are tweaked specifically for cross-country
racing. Adjustments include cross-country
specific transmission ratios, suspension
settings, larger translucent fuel tanks, 18"
rear wheels, handguards, kickstand and
GIANT brand wheels.
For 2013, the XC
models receive all the same engine and
chassis improvements of the SX models to
take performance to the next level as well
as adding the brand new 450 XC-F to the
line-up.
