Think of the 2023 KTM 500 EXC-F as a versatile sledgehammer. Hard-hitting, effective, and utterly devastating everywhere. But, thanks to a nimble chassis and its even more compact high-tech engine, this large-displacement dual-sport weapon is surprisingly light and rideable. As a result, this 510 cc SOHC single-cylinder powerhouse has an incredible power-to-weight ratio and provides nothing less than the most dynamic, and exciting option for weekend outrides, enduro competition, or rally event.
