Meet the Electric 2025 KTM Freeride E-XC
The 2025 KTM Freeride E-XC is the latest version of the popular electric enduro bike, designed for those who value a quiet, eco-friendly ride without compromising on performance. This bike is ideal for trail riding, off-road routes, and enduro competitions. In this article, we will look at the key technical features of the 2025 KTM Freeride E-XC.
Engine and Performance
The KTM Freeride E-XC is equipped with a permanent magnet electric motor that delivers up to 24 hp (18 kW) of power and 31 lb-ft (42 Nm) of torque. This engine offers instant throttle response and powerful lifting torque, making it ideal for challenging off-road conditions. The top speed reaches around 50 mph (80 km/h), which is enough for most enduro tracks.
Battery and range
The motorcycle is equipped with a KTM PowerPack lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 3.9 kWh, which provides up to 1.5 hours of active riding in enduro conditions. The battery is removable, which allows you to quickly replace it with a charged unit in a few minutes.
Charging
The KTM Freeride E-XC supports standard charging from a 220 V outlet, while a full charge of the battery takes about 1.5 hours. It is also possible to use a fast charger, which reduces the charging time to 50 minutes.
Chassis and suspension
The motorcycle is built on a lightweight steel frame with aluminum elements, which provides high strength at a low weight. The front suspension is represented by a WP XPlor 43 mm fork with a travel of 9.8 in (250 mm), and the rear is a WP PDS XPlor monoshock absorber with a travel of 10.2 in (260 mm). This suspension effectively absorbs shocks and bumps on difficult trails.
Brakes
The KTM Freeride E-XC is equipped with hydraulic brakes with 10.2 in (260 mm) discs at the front and 9.1 in (230 mm) at the rear. The Brembo braking system guarantees excellent braking even in difficult conditions, providing a high level of safety.
Electronics and control
Electronic control systems include three riding modes (Eco, Enduro, Cross), which adapt the power delivery and the level of energy recovery. The handlebar has a digital display showing information about the battery status, speed, and the selected mode.
Design and ergonomics
The KTM Freeride E-XC has retained the classic KTM design, with bright orange and black elements characteristic of the brand. The narrow profile and low center of gravity contribute to excellent maneuverability, which is especially important when riding on difficult routes. The seat is ergonomic, allowing you to keep the motorcycle under complete control.
