• Street legal

  The FREERIDE E-XC is suitable for road use. It has all the necessary components for riding to the baker, the local forest or to work. Lights, indicators, mirrors, ignition lock and immobiliser number among the additional features that mean absolute freedom. It has continuous output of 11 kW and meets the weight requirement for homologation at 110 kilograms (including all parts required for homologation), making it suitable for A1 driving licences and hence for use by 16-year-old motorcycle novices in road traffic. więcej

  Frame and subframe

  The proven, extremely lightweight, FREERIDE composite frame design has been refined for FREERIDE E models and adapted to the compact electric power unit. Compared with fuel-burning versions, the frame on E-models is designed to be open at the bottom. The motor therefore acts as a load-bearing element with additional support from a solid aluminum base plate. This guarantees optimum stiffness and ultimate safety, even on bigger jumps. The inherently stable plastic subframe has integrated grip recesses that provide an effective hold should the rear wheel ever become stuck in the mud. The lightweight, cast-aluminum swingarm has been designed to support the suspension system comprising frame and springs with targeted flexibility in the direction of oscillation. więcej

• Suspension

  In conjunction with high quality, CNC-machined triple clamps, the 43-mm WP upside-down fork with 250 mm of suspension travel delivers superb stability, excellent responsiveness and outstanding damping. The fork's sporty settings harmonise perfectly with the PDS shock absorber from WP, in which a progressive spring provides for great protection from bottoming out. Rebound and compression damping (high and low-speed) are adjustable. więcej

  Bodywork and styling

  The bodywork on the FREERIDE E is designed for practical ergonomics and offers unrestricted freedom of movement due to the extremely slender seat and spoiler line with excellent contact points between rider and machine. The modern graphics are mostly in-mould, i.e. integrated into the plastic – a modern, extremely robust and lightweight solution. więcej

  Wheels and brakes

  The high-end GIANT alloy wheels on FREERIDE E models, with CNC-machined hubs and ultra-light aluminum spoke nipples, are fitted with tyres from Maxxis: a TrialMaxx (2.75-21) up front and a MaxxEnduro (120/90-18) at the rear, both characterised by excellent grip and great traction. The FREERIDE E-XC is also equipped with the Formula brake system, featuring lightweight wave brake discs and radially bolted, sandblasted brake callipers with four pistons at the front and two at the rear. więcej

  Everything to hand

  The brake system's levers are placed at the left and right of the handlebar. At last, there's no need to grope for the brakes with your feet when preparing to drift. So that you always have the bike securely under control. więcej

• 

  Speedo

  The FREERIDE E-XC is equipped with a digital speedo from TRAIL TECH, which excels with numerous functions, easy operability and integrated indicator lights.

• Made in Austria

  With the FREERIDE E, KTM is setting new standards in terms of response, traction, performance and handling of a motorcycle. From the bottom up, the FREERIDE E is a development "made in Austria", because an electric bike is subject to the same requirements in terms of performance, robustness and quality as all other motorcycles that leave the factory buildings in Mattighofen. więcej

• New stimulus

  KTM endeavours to create fresh stimuli in the offroad segment. For this reason, KTM has developed an electrically driven, emission-free offroad bike with a KTM PowerPack that's quickly replaced. This motor concept for the KTM FREERIDE E opens up completely new fields of use in urban and suburban areas and generates greater acceptance of offroad sport. Offroad riding has never been easier! więcej

  Electric motor

  The FREERIDE E-XC is suitable for road use. It has all the necessary components for riding to the baker, the local forest or to work. Lights, indicators, mirrors, ignition lock and immobiliser number among the additional features that mean absolute freedom. With peak power at 18 kW, a continuous rated power output of 9 kW and weighing in at 110 kg, it complies with the restrictions of the A1 driving license and may therefore be used by 16-year-old beginners. więcej

• 

  No gearbox

  The right gear is always engaged. Because the high-torque electric motor allows a fixed transmission ratio to be used. Hence, there's no need for a clutch to get going. Especially for novices, this means a radical simplification - twist the throttle, ride off and have fun. więcej

  KTM PowerPack

  The new KTM FREERIDE E-XC features a new KTM PowerPack with increased capacity. Rated at 3.9 kWh, the new battery provides 50 % more capacity than the previous version’s 2.6 kWh, which makes it capable of powering the electric bike for up to 1.5 hours of riding fun, depending on the riding style and terrain. More good news? It retains full backward compatibility to the previous electric KTM FREERIDE E models.Easily inserted from above, the removable KTM PowerPack sits on top of the motor, secured by four screws and well protected by the frame tubes. It is easily swapped for a fully charged one by simply flipping up the seat and opening four screws. This can be accomplished in a matter of seconds, even quicker than refueling a bike with a combustion engine.Alternatively, the KTM PowerPack can be fully charged while still mounted in the bike by using the connector beneath the seat. In terms of battery aging, even after 700 charge cycles, the KTM PowerPack will still provide 70 % of its initial capacity. więcej

  Dust and waterproof

  Both the drive unit, with its electric motor and power electronics, and the battery are completely dust and waterproof. The FREERIDE E is therefore well prepared for the toughest offroad trips.
