Ktm XCF-W reviews

For the past 4 years I’ve been a proud owner of my 2007 KTM 250 xcf-w and I must say what an amazing bike! I have ridden many bikes ranging from 2005-2022 and I am a firm believer that this bike sits between a good and excellent bike to own. It punches a huge amount of low end power which absolutely tanks through anything you throw at it. One of my favourite things about this bike is it that you can easily customise it to your preference - with regards to aftermarket parts , plastics, accessories and tuning-making it an outstanding bike to customise to your riding style at a reasonable price. Suspension is super reliable and comfortable , handling is fantastic and the power is amazing. However I do believe there is some room for improvement… the stock kick stand has to be the only worst thing about this bike ( the stand is too short and sits on a very thin metal frame) which compromise’s the chain guard if it breaks. The Radiator as well can be a problem, this year of bike does run hot and the radiator doesn’t essentially help slow down rising engine temperatures, I would recommend if anyone is wanting to purchase this bike sometime soon is to save a bit of money to install a cooling fan onto your radiator- it works like a bomb and prevents any damage to your bike’s engine in the future. Besides that I would consider this bike to be a 9/10 for a junior or senior rider. Hope this helps ! Show less

I'm still in the break-in process on the motor but from what I have rode this bike makes serious power, even going easy. The suspension feels good and I love the ground clearance. I'm very glad I chose this bike over the 250x or the wr250. I feel it's more of a quality machine. My only complaint is that it doesn't come with a spark aresstor, but besides that bike is worth every penny and I couldn't be happier with it. Show less

Great bike, easy to maintain, and starts easy. This bike has great low-end power and top-end power. Hands down, the best 250 four stroke on the market. Even though it costs more than other 250's, I think I got more for my money. Show less
