KTM 500 XCF-w -- Lightweight Adventure Build That Can Be Raced

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

It's time to make the KTM 500 dirt bike into a simple lightweight adventure motorcycle, but with a twist. Once this bike arrives at its destination in Page, AZ after 200 miles of adventure riding and camp is set up, it will be stripped back down and will be entered into a 2.5-hour hare scramble race against other race-built enduro dirt bikes. The goal is to try and have most of the adventure elements of the bike removable to shave as much weight as possible.
#KTM500 #DoItAllBike #Episode3
This 2020 KTM 500 XCF-w is getting prepared to be put to the ultimate swiss army knife of motorcycles test; be a fully functional adventure bike that can carry camping gear, food, water and then once it arrives be turned back into a capable racing dirt bike. The bike has been racing and will be entered into the B class at 2022 Round 6 of Arizona's premier enduro dirt bike racing series, AMRA. The race will be held in Page, Arizona at the same location where the US Hard Enduro series race "Grindingstone" hard enduro happens.

This video is the third episode in the series of videos to see if the KTM 500 can do all the different types of off-road riding; single track, enduro racing, and lightweight adventure. At this point, the bike has been fully built to be a single-track beast and enduro racer. Between the suspension redo by EnduroSpec with Lucky inserts in the forks and as well as a GET ECU; this bike absolutely rips on single track and enduro riding. This episode turns the bike into a simple but functional lightweight adventure motorcycle.

    Heck yeah! I love the concept of what you are doing here. A lot of people say the Husky 701 / KTM 690R are the unicorn bikes, but they can't do what the 500 can do.

    Definitely not, unless you are Chris Birch or Pol Tarrés, most people will not be able to race the 690/701 and be anywhere near competitive and the bike would just take an absolute beating. The 500 blurs that line a bit! The adventure to the race video comes out tomorrow, Friday 11/25, so definitely stay tuned for that. Happy Thanksgiving!

    Right on my man!! Looks good. I have my 2012 Beta set up similar with the exception of using some old Giant Loop MoJavi bags and do hotel camping. No racing though. Those days of District 37 hare & hound are long behind me.... I wish you the best of luck in your upcoming event.

    Love it.. Riding my 2013 KTM 450XC-W with lights and a plate. Fully street legal, best lightweight ADV/Dirtbike combo. At 55yrs old, its hotels for me!! lol By the way, how you tag that thing, don't they come with "off road use only" paperwork?

    Haha! At 35 I’m definitely leaning more towards trailer or hotel LOL - AZ is pretty lenient with tagging dirt bikes, you don’t even really need lights for a certain type of tag that just allows you to ride on non-highway roads, which is perfect for me. Cheers!
