The 1999 KTM 530 EXC-R is a series of four-stroke enduro off-road motorcycle made by KTM. They are essentially the 400/450 EXCs with changes to the bore or stroke to achieve larger displacements. Like the other KTM enduro offerings they vary in the set-up and components. The international EXC versions have a small headlight, speedometer, tail-light and somewhat softer linkless (PDS) rear suspension.

2003 - 2007 KTM 525 EXC Racing

The cockpit is standard KTM 525 EXC Racing fare, which is to say, it's well laid out. The seat is slim and flat. The thing feels narrow but not as much as last year's bike. The bars seat pegs layout is comfortable and automatically gets you up the front of the bike. With plenty of power in every situation, it dominates in the open class, whoever your opponents are. The distance to the person behind you is controlled simply by the right-hand wrist. The international EXC versions have a small headlight, speedometer, tail-light and somewhat softer linkless (PDS) rear suspension.

2017 KTM 500 EXC-F

The 500 EXC-F is the strongest Enduro bike in the world, although that doesn’t mean it’s a bully. This motorcycle is as lean and civilized as a thoroughbred racehorse. But let it rip, and its all-new 4-stroke SOHC engine flings the redesigned chassis across all sorts of terrain. Probably ahead of the competition.
