KTM is known for its impressive dual-sport machines, the 350 EXC and 500 EXC. The dual-sport bike every dual-sporter aspires to be, the KTM 500 EXC is back in 2016 with some revisions. Thanks to its powerful 510.4cc SOHC engine, low weight and perfectly tuned suspension, this machine masters each and every tough spot in off-road riding with ease. And thanks to its license plate, you can ride the bike right from your house and enjoy the street or the dirt. For 2016 the 500 EXC gets the same updates as the dirt-only XCF-W models for even more capability when the asphalt ends.
