Default KTM unveils ‘Freeride 350’



Say hello to KTM’s new ‘Freeride’, a road-legal, ‘fun’, dirt bike powered by a 350cc single and weighing just 99kg.

It’s been announced in advance of the Milan Show where it will receive its official public unveiling before going on sale next spring.

The powerplant is a detuned version of KTM’s fuel-injected and liquid-cooled 350 single, producing a claimed 24bhp. While an all-new chassis uses a mix of steel tubes and cast aluminium sections to minimize weight. Suspension is KTM’s usual WP front and rear.

KTM says the goal was to: "create an off-road motorcycles that could face the same challenges of EXC, but with considerable savings of effort and energy to the pilot."

Awesome.. Should be fun with more than thrice the power and less weight than a Splendor.. Hope we get this mill in FULLY TUNED state rather than this measly 24bhp For KaTooM 350..

With some folks going gaga over the 'Impulse', this should be an eye-opener! I'd put my money on this Dirt Bike any day (if I ever have the money!) as against that excuse in the name of a dirt bike!

Power to weight ratio is absolutely awesome. 99 kgs with 24 BHP power!! This must make it to India. A lovely bike for daily commute to office as it can be taken anywhere, whether there is road or lack of it.
