Technical updates and revised styling unveiled for latest model year.
KTM has unveiled its 2026 enduro range, introducing a refined line-up that continues to evolve with targeted technical updates, chassis enhancements, and revised styling.
The latest models bring with them a series of developments aimed at improving overall performance, rider comfort, and durability – building on the foundation laid by KTM’s most recent generation of enduro machinery.
The Australian model line-up remains consistent for 2026, including the two-stroke KTM 300 EXC alongside four-stroke KTM 250 EXC-F, 350 EXC-F, 450 EXC-F, and 500 EXC-F models.

This current platform carries forward with a familiar combination of compact engine designs, electronic fuel injection on the two-stroke model, and a hydro-formed, laser-cut, and robot-welded frame paired with an aluminium sub-frame and swingarm – developed with targeted longitudinal and torsional flex characteristics to support a balanced ride feel.
A range of components continue across the line-up, including forged triple clamps, Neken handlebars, Brembo brakes and hydraulic clutch, Keihin throttle body, ODI lock-on grips, and Giant high-strength alloy rims. Additional details include the Offroad Control Unit, LED headlight, and durable in-mold bodywork.
For 2026, updates to the WP Xact 48 millimetre closed cartridge fork include revised damping settings, shorter and lighter fork springs, a new one-piece hydro stop, and a reshaped pressure reservoir. These changes result in a weight saving of 200 grams while targeting improved feel and bottoming resistance. At the rear, the WP Xplor PDS shock receives further internal updates, continuing to prioritise traction and simplicity through KTM’s no-linkage configuration.

Other refinements include a new protection cap on the CPC fuel connector for added durability and sealing, along with a revised radiator cap design that uses a standardised thread for easier access. Radiator fans are now standard on all four-stroke models, as well as the KTM 300 EXC, to support cooling in slow-speed or high-load conditions.
Styling updates for 2026 include a revised in-mold graphics kit with a brighter orange base, complemented by red accents on the fork guards and reshaped tank spoilers – the latter designed to assist with airflow across the radiator shrouds. The high-grip seat cover adopts a new black finish, with textured materials also applied to the bar pad, frame protectors, and tank spoilers. Tyre updates include a new softer compound rear tyre, developed to offer improved traction in varied terrain.
