The FACTORY RACING SEAT itself is not only another aesthetic touch towards the 2024 KTM 350 XC-F FACTORY EDITION's racing roots but has been created to prioritize grip and resistance, while keeping exactly the same seat height as the standard models.
• UNMATCHED PERFORMANCE - GO THE DISTANCE: A 2.24 gallon polythene fuel tank incorporates a threaded filler cap and an integrated fuel pump. The fuel pump features an external fuel line which is specifically positioned to make it less exposed and susceptible to damage, while ensuring a steady, uninterrupted flow of fuel.

Hit The Big Stuff

• HARNESSING GRAVITY - MASS CENTRALIZATION: Ready to force the opposition into submission? Together with the benefits of mass centralization and the anti-squat behavior of the chassis, the 2024 KTM 350 XC-F FACTORY EDITION gets its power down perfectly when tearing out of corners. Riders will feel the extra precision and alignment from the CNC milled aluminum FACTORY RACING TRIPLE CLAMPS in this regard. Optimally tuned steering stem stiffness and geometry brings gains in handling and stability among other advantages.
• UNFLAPPABLE FRONT END - WP XACT FORK: WP XACT Closed Cartridge spring fork is part of the package for the 2024 KTM 350 XC-F FACTORY EDITION. The mid-valve piston concept optimizes the oil flow within the cartridge, providing fast and consistent damping characteristics. This also avoids unwanted foaming of oil which can lead to the awkward changes in damping characteristics and less consistent damping behavior. The fork is also adjustable in rebound and compression, thanks to hand adjustable clickers on the bottom of the fork shoe and fork top cap.
• ALL-OUT TRACTION - WP XACT SHOCK: The rear shock features a compact build with 300 mm travel. A CFD-optimized main piston delivers optimal initial comfort, while finding the ideal settings is taken care of by a hand-adjustable dual compression control that allows for high- and low-speed adjustments by hand. This, together with an easy-to-use rebound adjuster, means riders benefit from the right set-up for improved balance, comfort, and cornering agility.

Maintaining Momentum

• UNOBTRUSIVE IMPACT - ULTIMATE RIGIDITY: A hollow, die-cast aluminum swingarm is designed to offer optimal stiffness and reliability at the lowest possible weight. A 22 mm rear axle is also fitted to match the flex characteristics of the chassis. This, along with the chain guard and chain gliders result in improved durability and less chance of hooking on boots or external objects out on the trail, as well as reducing dirt build up around the swingarm and chain guard. The 2024 KTM 350 XC-F FACTORY EDITION has a special high-strength aluminum REAR SPROCKET that will reduce vibration and rotating masses and will also catch the eye!
• NOTHING TO HOLD YOU BACK - GROUND CLEARANCE: CFD designed footrests offer a large contact area for better control of the bike while standing on the pegs, but also makes them less susceptible to hooking up on deep trail ruts, logs and rocks . This was achieved by a narrow frame mounting design, which also helps reduce overall weight.
• FLAT OUT TO THE FINISH - CONSISTENCY: The compact and lightweight SOHC cylinder features a shorter profile with the camshaft located closer to the center of gravity. Lightweight valves are actuated via a DLC coated rocker arm with optimized timing, specifically designed to deliver precise levels of torque and throttle response. The diameter of the intake valves is 40 mm, while on the exhaust it is 33 mm. The intake ports also allow higher flow coefficients, resulting in a more efficient and powerful engine, with the valve cover reducing the number of mounting screws, and a single oil spray jet guarantees efficient cooling while keeping the weight low. A HINSON OUTER CLUTCH COVER boosts the protective capabilities of the 2024 KTM 350 XC-F FACTORY EDITION's and is also weight optimized

Start Strong

• UNMATCHED PERFORMANCE - MORE USABLE POWER: The 2024 KTM 350 XC-F FACTORY EDITION's lightweight powerplant rules the roost in a class of its own. The engine has been tilted 2° backward with a lower sprocket position, which together with the benefits of mass centralization and reduced weight, makes the anti-squat behavior of the chassis second to none. 450-rivalling performance and an overall engine weight of only 60.6 lb and complimented by the power and torque gains provided by the titanium FMF Factory 4.1 RCT Silencer that also has the benefit of shaving more weight from the package. You'll leave the competition with more than a little mud on the face.
• DROP THE CLUTCH - LAUNCH CONTROL & QUICKSHIFTER: Count on the best race starts with the high-strength FACTORY START DEVICE fixed to the front fork with two different selectable preloads for the best grip and optimum race feeling.
