New KTM Freeride 250R unveiled

KTM has unveiled this all-new 250 two-stroke addition to its ‘Freeride’ fun bike family – aimed at those looking to explore off-roading for the first time or simply have a ‘fun bike’.

Intended to bridge the gap between the Austrian marque’s pure racers and the four-stroke Freeride 350. The engine is a detuned version of that used in the 250EXC and does without that bike’s exhaust valve, but still produces 25bhp.

The newcomer will be available in dealers from Mid-September. See our first test in MCN soon!
