New 2024 KTM XW-F Four-Stroke Off-Road Model Specs
Cycle News Staff | May 26, 2023
KTM is bringing back 50-state emissions (California green sticker) off-road models with the introduction of the new 2024 350 and 500 XW-F four-stroke off-roaders. In a nutshell, the XW-Fs are based on the new 450 XCF-W competition model but are emissions-compliant in all 50 states, including California. “The new XW-F models open up new ground for off-road riders thanks to 50-state off-highway compliant emissions and a USFS Approved spark arrestor as standard,” says KTM. In other words, the XW-Fs can be ridden legally on state and federal public lands year-round, like Honda’s CRF450X.
