Racing The KTM 500 XCF-w -- AMRA Sprint Enduro -- KTM 500 Do-It-All Bike Ep. 2
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
What's it like to race KTM's biggest off-road thumper dirt bike in the AMRA Oracle Sprint Enduro?? The 2020 - 2022 KTM 500 XCF-w/EXC-f are not really known as true race motos, but they share a lot of motorcycle DNA with the 450 SXF/XCF, and with a few mods to the suspension and power delivery of the bike are total single track rippers and we'll see how it does in a sprint enduro race at Oracle in the 2021 AMRA series.
#KTM500 #DoItAllBike #Episode2
This 2020 KTM 500 XCF-w gets put to the test at the 2021 Arizona Motorcycles Riders Association (AMRA) Oracle Sprint Enduro race. The race for A & B class riders is over 30 miles of technical singletrack racing in the high desert of Southern Arizona just northeast of Tuscon Arizona.
This video is the second 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 killer 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. Eventually, this bike will also be a lightweight adventure bike too, similar to our 500 EXC-f adventure build but without the rally tower.

Great bikes and easier to ride than most 450s, I think that's what people don't realize. What start are you located in?

For sure! And the 450XCF is missing the 6th gear LOL! Seems like KTM keeps making the 450’s tamer because it makes them faster in corners, where as the 500 is already there. I’m in Northern Arizona, so we have Mountain single track and open desert down in the valleys, this bike eats up both. Cheers!!

Well, it you're ever in UT you should hit up some of our races with us. USRA and UMORA are our series. It's desert racing, but similar to what you are riding. It's a fair mix of all terrains. Check out Ride With The Knights channel. They have some really good race footage of our series. It might interest you and makes for great content.

great content! Thinking of buying one of these.
Great video. the Ktm500 has officially become a top notch race bike in the last couple years. I believe it’s won the “FINK” like four years in a row. It’s an Australian desert race with just miles of straight away whoops and some huge jumps, couple turns here and there.

Thanks Allan! Can’t wait to race this beast more, just got to wait for a broken foot to heal. Doh!!!
This past Autumn I raced my first ever hare scramble on my 500 exc as well. I came in 153rd out of 200. The limiting factor was definitely my skills and not the bike. So much fun, and a very capable bike to do it all with.

For sure! I agree, they are really fun and capable, but still can rip and are pretty darn happy on the street too. Keep at it! Enjoy the ride!
Good job man! I ride mostly single track and double track in the mountains on the lower west coast of Canada on my plated 500 and I love it. The thing I like most about my 500 is doing everything the 2T guys are doing on the trails and crushing it. Half the time they’re trying to keep up to me haha. Log jumps, huge Boulder features, double blacks and hill climbs. I know it’s not what it was designed for but being able to ride to the trails and keep up with the fast crowd is amazing. The best part is when you run into someone on a burly black diamond and they realize you’re on a 500 😂

Hahaha!!! It is fun to blow some minds of the 300 2T die hards… it’s like you are insulting their god when you go faster than them on this bike.
Having a one bike does all is my dream aswell. Gonna start this journey with my first ever 4 stroke next spring, probably with the 24 models KTM. This is gonna be wild, I'm so excited

Fun riding Camp Wood this weekend on the 500’s. I love this bike (Husqvarna FE501). I lowered mine a little and changed to ‘21 Xact forks setup for enduro. Best single-track bike I’ve ever had.

The single track at A1 and by the airport is what I am used to, never made it around the mountain. We are in prime riding season weather at the moment. Heading to Hayfield Draw in Cottonwood this weekend. Cheers!

Hopefully in the next month or two! I broke my foot really bad in December which made me miss the first half of the racing season and decided to launch a new business RaceProvisions.com -- which is sports nutrition supplements for MOTO & MTB. But I have some time coming up here, so should be able to finish the build and that would be the next video. Then do the ADV to race sometime in the last three races in our series. Let me know if you have any questions!

It shoots way too wide versus projecting down the road for road rinding, but it’s pretty good for getting back from the trail. It’s exponentially better than stock. Cheers!
