The same super sporty KTM ATVs that thrilled and animated American consumers and the international media in the summer of 2007 are now ready for the European market.
In response to the enormous public demand, the new KTM 450 XC and 525 XC models will now already be available through KTM dealerships from early 2008.
 
The new ATVs broaden KTM’s product pallet to include a completely new model family and in doing so underscore’s KTM’s ascendancy in the international offroad market and its promise to always be “Ready to Race”.
 
Developed together with ATV champion Tim Farr, the four-wheeled versions of the world’s leading sports motorcycles have already proved themselves in competition in the USA with Farr taking three prominent titles in 2007.

Both ATV’s are examples of KTM’s innovative spirit. They are driven by the powerful KTM single cylinder, four-stroke motor that is recognized for its reliability and comes with a choice of either 450 or 525 cc displacement. They feature an additional reverse gear and a sophisticated and very light tubular steel chassis constructed at the company headquarters in Mattighofen, Austria, making them not only among the lightest available but also with superb handling characteristics.
 
Among the other top-of-the-line features are the Magura hydraulic brakes with a 4-piston calliper and steel-braided brake linings, the Maxxis Razr tyres mounted on Douglas aluminium rims, the self adjusting Magura hydraulic clutch with quick changeable clutch covers for competition use, the fully adjustable Magura aluminium tapered handlebar and the ergonomic, oversized tank. The steering stabilizer mount integrated into the frame, on which an Öhlins steering stabilizer (available as a KTM Power Part) can be mounted in minutes is an attractive innovation.
 
In addition to the unleashing of power from their four-stroke engines, the ATVs are finished with the highest quality components and feature the unmistakably crisp and very distinctive design that signals their pure KTM racing genes. The enormously positive reaction in the USA has already indicated that the new KTM ATVs represent the most compete sport ATV yet developed. Now Europe is “Ready to Race” KTM ATVs!
