Five models – one goal: maximum performance in competition
The KTM EXC 6DAYS 2026 comprises a total of five models – each tailored to different requirements in enduro racing. The following models are available:
- KTM 300 EXC 6DAYS (2-stroke)
- KTM 250 EXC-F 6DAYS (4-stroke)
- KTM 350 EXC-F 6DAYS (4-stroke)
- KTM 450 EXC-F 6DAYS (4-stroke)
- KTM 500 EXC-F 6DAYS (4-stroke)
All variants are based on the revised EXC enduro platform from the 2026 model year. KTM has adjusted numerous technical details to further improve handling, durability, and riding dynamics.
Revised chassis and improved cooling
The core of the model update is the further development of the chassis. Optimized 48 mm WP XACT closed cartridge forks and a revised WP XPLOR PDS shock absorber are used. The aim of the changes is to achieve better feedback, lower weight, and greater stability—advantages that should be reflected in faster lap times, especially on demanding special stages.
Cooling performance has also been further improved. Robust radiator covers are designed to direct the airflow more efficiently and support the standard radiator fans. In addition, the fuel system of all models has been secured with a new protective cap.
Unique look inspired by the Six Days 2025
Visually, the special models are based on the colors of the host nation of the Six Days 2025 – Italy. The exclusive paint scheme combines shades of blue, white, green, and red with an orange powder-coated frame. The look is rounded off by CNC-machined triple clamps, a grippy blue seat with racing cover, front axle quick release, frame protectors, a chain guard, and a Supersprox Stealth sprocket. 6DAYS logos can be found on the handlebars, silencer, and rims.
Standard equipment with practical details
The extended standard equipment of the 2026 EXC 6DAYS includes:
- Floating front brake disc and solid rear brake disc
- Safety wire on the rear brake for maximum load capacity
- Weight-optimized engine guard
- Mapping switch for adjusting engine characteristics
- Metzeler 6DAYS Extreme tires for various surfaces
In addition, each 6DAYS variant can be further customized using the updated PowerParts and PowerWear catalog.
Market launch in fall 2025
The 4-stroke models of the KTM EXC 6DAYS 2026 are expected to be available from authorized KTM dealers starting in September 2025. The 2-stroke model KTM 300 EXC 6DAYS will follow in October.
