KTM's profilation of this bike |
The 450 XC-W has been the undisputed top dog in the top tier for many years now and is always one step ahead. But that was yesterday. Now we have taken 2 steps further: New engine generation featuring electronic fuel injection, less weight, more efficiently convertible power and revolutionary new bodywork. The advantage has never been greater. |
