What is there to say about the KTM 350 XC-F that hasn’t already been said? Well, for starters, the 2025 KTM 350 XC-F takes everything great about previous generations and makes it even better. With a reworked frame, new airbox, new swingarm, improved suspension settings, and the same usable performance, the 2025 KTM 350 XC-F is ready to take up the challenge – and the lead.

Engine

Perfectly filling the gap between the KTM 250 XC-F and the powerhouse KTM 450 XC-F, the lightweight KTM 350 XC-F powerplant rules the roost in a class of its own. Designed and tuned to provide the best performance and handling characteristics possible, the DOHC engine delivers endless mid-range and the top-end power together with the benefits of mass centralization and ideal anti-squat behavior. With 450-rivalling performance and an overall engine weight of only 60.6 lb, you’ll leave the competition with more than a little mud on the face.

Chassis and Suspension

The 2025 KTM XC and XC-F range receive some major frame updates directly from Factory Racing efforts. For starters, the frame area around the rear shock mount has been updated, and more streamlined. The front area of the frame is also updated. with a different wall thickness compared to the previous model year, with renewed engine mounts. This adds up to a 300g weight saving, and improved flex for better cornering behavior.

Styling

No matter how gnarly the trail is, you’ll stay in control thanks to a rider-focussed frame design that has not only been engineered for longitudinal rigidity, but also positions rotating mass as close as possible to the center of gravity. Thick frame walls also improve reliability, flex characteristics and offer unmatched rider feel. The shock mounting also provides the perfect amount of anti-squat for better traction out of corners, while the footpeg mounting position reduces the risk of hooking up on roots or rocks. Additionally, forged brackets on the lower frame rails allow for easy installation of the skid plate
