EICMA 2011: KTM 350 for Freeride and mule sentieracci

EICMA 2011: KTM 350

It is fitting that in motion it is easy to feel all drivers, but it is also true that in fact is not common to have the driving skills of Cairoli and David Knight. But above all there is to say that those who love riding bikes away from the asphalt, often likes to do on Sunday with friends to enjoy driving, nature and landscapes without needing to make the best time in the sling.



For this type of use – and only the ninth – was born the new KTM 350 Freeride, one of the visible world premieres live during the next edition of EICMA. Motion that is part of a segment from the fairly recent origin, the new creature of the Austrian company has made for the long off-road rides, the ones that lead to explore the roughest trails and mule tracks.


That is why the KTM Freeride 350 can count on completely new architecture, made of a steel perimeter frame, WP suspension and Brembo brakes, coupled with spoked wheels that fit tires Trial.


Something that draws remotely as already seen on enduro “urbanized” Beta Alp and Yamaha Tricker. But here the music sounds different to the engine, a 350 single cylinder engine that comes from the jewel used on specialized enduro 350 Exc.


Obviously the engine of the Freeride will be more docile, flexible and less powerful (24 horsepower) than the Enduro, but will be able to give a good sparkle to the bike, which weighs only 99 pounds avviameno electric included.


The aesthetics of the Freeride 350 is modeled on that of the prototype electric KTM saw a couple of years ago and never went into production. Here, however, marketing is very close, however, at a price that promises to be competitive, perhaps more than $ 2,000 below that of Exc
