2016 KTM 250 XCF-W, Handling MiracleThe lively 4-stroke receives wit the excellent DOHC engine distiguished mainly by significantly more torque than its predecessor. The power plant, the optminzed frame and the new bodywork make the 250 XCF-W a champion's bike.Features May Include:ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (EMS)The Engine Management System by Keihin with electronic fuel injection via a 42mm throttle body ensures a snappy response and maximum engine performance. An oil-cooled 196 W alternator provides sufficient energy for the fuel injection, lighting and other electrical loads. With an optional map-select switch from the Power Parts program, the EMS can allow the rider to select different engine characteristics. In addition, the optional User-Setting-Tool provides the ability to readout engine data with a laptop and change the ignition and injection mapping with just a few mouse clicks.DDS CLUTCHThe one-piece basket of the DDS clutch (damped diaphragm steel) is machined from solid high-tensile steel in one solid part together with the primary drive gear. This process guarantees unbeatable reliability and, together with the thin steel linings, contributes to the narrow engine width due to a compact rivet-less design. The diaphragm spring makes it possible to implement an additional rubber damping system inside the clutch hub, ensuring reliability for the transmission and excellent traction. Finally, the hydraulic clutch mechanism by Brembo in conjunction with the diaphragm spring provides a very light clutch operation and controllable modulation.CYLINDER HEADThe centerpiece of the DOHC engine is its cylinder head with two overhead camshafts and DLC coated followers. The large, flow optimized ports in combination with large intake valves ensure a high flow rate, which in turn provides significant performance. The camshafts have been designed to achieve maximum power and torque figures while maintaining an off-road specific power delivery.HANDLEBARAll XC-W models are fitted with super strong, tapered Neken handlebars made of high tensile aluminum alloy that can be mounted in four positions. Standard equipment hand guards made of a new 2-component polymer for durability and effective hand protection.FUEL TANKThe large capacity fuel tank is constructed of lightweight polyethylene and specifically designed for off-road use. A ¼-turn bayonet filler cap features a release mechanism for quick and easy refueling.
