INTRODUCTION

                   THE 2-STROKE
                     RENAISSANCE
                       Even though KTM only introduced a brand new EXC generation in 2017, the challenges never stop.
                       This means research and development also never cease at the Austrian headquarters, and so in 2018,
                       KTM is once again set to deliver the next revolutionary game-changer in competition offroad sports:
                       the world’s first 2-stroke, offroad competition bikes with serial, electronic fuel injection.

                       Combining top performance and outstanding rideability, the KTM EXC TPI models with 250 and 300 cc
                       of displacement will be distinguished by the lowest weight in their class, intuitive handling and a unique     5
                       style, along with the awesome READY TO RACE performance expected of any genuine KTM race bike.

                       “TPI” stands for “transfer port injection”, and the groundbreaking new 2-stroke represents another
                       major step forward on a global scale, once again demonstrating KTM’s unrelenting and continuous
                       commitment to 2-stroke technology as such. The benefits to owners are clear: besides huge improve-
                       ments in fuel efficiency and clean exhaust emissions, the electronics do away with the need for re-
                       jetting, no matter the elevation of the race venue, prevailing weather conditions and the like.
                       Also, engine lubrication on the TPI models is automatic from a separate oil tank and electronically
                       controlled oil pump, obviating the use of pre-mixed fuel-oil mixture.

                       In short: TPI means a new dimension of READY TO RACE DNA in every detail. And more than that: TPI
                       is the living proof that KTM’s ongoing commitment to offroad racing in general will never stop, and its
                       dedication to 2-stroke technology in particular is alive and well. In fact, the state of the art R&D depart-
                       ment in Mattighofen is expanding, while the new motorsport division demonstrates KTM’s growth and
                       continuing investment.

                       Because offroad racing is nothing less than the very foundation of the company.

INTRODUCTION
                   Once again a highly exciting racing season lies behind us. For the KTM Enduro Factory Racing riders it
                   was a season of success for some, while overcoming the biggest challenges for others. It’s fair to say
                   that KTM continues to be a mainstay in the battle for supremacy across all disciplines.

                   KTM 2-stroke racers especially made headlines in 2016 with Jonny Walker attacking the toughest, most
                   difficult terrain, like at Red Bull 111 Megawatt where the British-ace managed to come back from a leg
                   injury earlier in the year to win the event in spectacular fashion. True grit and a true lover of the 2-stroke
                   machines, Jonny cannot wait to switch to the new, fuel-injected 2-stroke EXC TPI machine full time.

                   Jonny’s teammate, Alfredo Gómez from Cercedilla in Spain, joined the KTM Factory Racing team in 2016.

     RACING
                   Soon after, the Spanish-ace delivered wins at Red Bull Minas Riders and The Wall Extreme Enduro, plus
                   multiple podiums aboard his EXC racing machine throughout the season. A feat he looks to build upon
                   this year.

     IS OUR CORE
                   Another clear sign of the global trend back towards the 2-stroke racing categories is three-time world
                   champion Christophe Nambotin switching back to 2-stroke for the 2017 season. The future looks strong
                   with the new KTM EXC TPI engines and investment in this area - the factory team is highly excited to             7
                   race the new TPI machines as soon as possible after their launch. Besides the performance boost, their
                   increased fuel economy and much less complex setup are bound to translate into huge benefits for riders
                   and mechanics alike, for both classic and Extreme Enduro events.

                   Of course, the 4-stroke faction has been anything but idle, as witnessed by another incredible achieve-
                   ment, with Laia Sanz winning the Women’s Enduro World Championship for the fifth time in a row on her
                   KTM 350 EXC-F in 2016! And switching over from Motocross, Nathan Watson from Nottingham, UK rode
                   to second place in the 2016 E1 category in his first year in the Enduro World Championship. A highly
                   impressive result with his KTM 250 EXC-F, which propelled the youngster to race the higher capacity
                   machine in 2017.

                   Lastly, not to forget the globally important International Six Days Enduro where USA’s Taylor Robert
                   topped the E2 category standings and took the overall win at the event, while Australian rider Daniel
                   Sanders, who joins the KTM Factory Racing team this year, finished as the E3 class winner and runner-up
                   overall. The top two women Maria Franke and Laia Sanz were also aboard KTM machinery, highlighting
                   KTM’s international dominance in Enduro once again.

                     THE 2-STROKE
                   PARADIGM SHIFT
                       The new KTM 250 and 300 cc Enduro models fitted with the revolutionary TPI serial fuel injection are
                       high-end, READY TO RACE products, which set new standards in the 2-stroke segment. TPI stands for
                       „transfer port injection”; a global-first, groundbreaking technology for 2-stroke racing engines that de-
                                                                                                                                    9
                       livers a previously unattainable combination of top performance and outstanding rideability. Lubrication
                       is taken care of by an automatic system with a separate oil tank and electronically controlled oil pump
                       instead of using premix.

                       In addition, the TPI bikes benefit from the complete set of KTM Enduro racing features such as an
                       E-starter powered by super-lightweight lithium ion batteries, sublime Brembo brakes, self-adjusting
                       hydraulic clutches, KTM ‘No Dirt’ footpegs and gear shift levers, KTM toolless air filter boxes, quick-
                       release fuel lines, polished hubs, WP Xplor 48 split forks, WP Xplor PDS shock absorbers and of course
                       typical KTM precision-welded chromoly frames. This means they are not only among the lightest bikes in
                       their respective classes, but they also deliver intuitive handling, while the exclusive bodywork sets them
                       apart with a unique style.

                   consumption. For model year 2018, the cutting-edge and lightweight 250 cc 2-stroke features                                                                                                17
                   an all new engine management system with the revolutionary TPI fuel injection - the world‘s first
                   serial electronic fuel injection system for 2-stroke offroad racers. The TPI technology (transfer port
                   injection) has been developed by KTM in close co-operation with EFI specialist Synerject. Turning
                   the 2-stroke world upside down, it makes engine operation not only remarkably cleaner, but also
                   provides a more consistent performance. While engine power remains at the same level, the power
                   delivery is much more homogeneous. Compensating automatically for air pressure and temperature,
                   there is no need to set the TPI bike up for the elevation and weather of the race location. Premix fuel
                   with 2-stroke oil is also a thing of the past, and the fuel efficiency increases dramatically.

                   With this state-of-the-art powerhouse fitted in an extremely lightweight chassis, the upcoming
                   KTM 250 EXC TPI excels on all sorts of tracks and terrains. Combining the handling benefits of its
                   low weight with the advantages of the TPI engine results in an outstanding performance to make
                   it a formidable contender against the more complex 4-strokes. At the same time, the new bike
                   remains a great choice for all riders who just love the low purchasing and maintenance costs
                   and the typical 2-stroke sound.

KTM SIX DAYS 2018

INTRODUCTION

             A TEAM
                 EFFORT
          When it comes to offroad motorcycle racing, no other brand comes close to the success or even just the
          presence of KTM. And year after year, one of the events where this becomes especially plain is the biggest
          competition on the calendar, the ‘International Six Days Enduro’ (ISDE). From the humble beginnings of a
          few daring riders in the Scottish border region testing the mettle of what was then emerging technology,
          the ISDE has turned into the team world championship of the Enduro scene, with more than 500 riders          39
          from over 30 nations expected on the grid. This Enduro marathon demands as much from the bikes as
          from the riders, and year after year, more than half of them show up in Orange.

          The 2017 International Six Days Enduro will be held from August 28 to September 2 in Brive-la-Gaillarde
          in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. Shaped by volcanoes extinguished millennia ago, the rugged
          terrain in the north-eastern slopes of the Massif Central is bound to once again place extreme demands
          on all brave riders and machines that take on the battle. No chain is stronger than its weakest link.
          So compromise of any kind has no place in their equipment if they strive to even cross the finish line,
          let alone emerge victorious from the ordeal with their compatriots and teammates.

          KTM also once again rises to the challenge with the latest, limited SIX DAYS edition of extra-tough machi-
          nes. Easily identified as premium models by their special Six Days design, these bikes are also upgraded
          and equipped with an extended list of top-of-the-line components, specially designed and refined by KTM’s
          own research and development department for the exceptional event, making them the ultimate Enduro
          bikes. And for the first time ever, the SIX DAYS lineup also includes the Euro-4 homologated KTM 250 and
          300 EXC TPI models with their fuel-injected 2-stroke engines!
