These bikes hit the local KTM dealer floors this week! I believe the 1st batch are all sold!
The new KTM Freeride 350 unites extremely easy handling with a low seat height and outstanding ergonomics. Thanks to a minimal weight of only 99.5 kg, the rider is always completely in control, even on the toughest trails, whether it be rough terrain, narrow single tracks or wide gravel roads. The state-of-the-art 350 cm³ DOHC four-stroke engine, newly laid out especially for the Freeride 350 has proven to be the ideal drive unit for this vehicle concept and scores highly in every situation with controllable, torque-oriented performance characteristics.
RIDEABILITY
Light, manoeuvrable and extremely easy to control. Thanks to an innovative frame concept coupled with the powerful engine, the Freeride 350 is equipped for the toughest trails and offroad sections. In this model, KTM has united its offroad experience with the demands for an agile vehicle. With indescribable ease, the Freeride also conquers virtually insurmountable obstacles and delivers all the higher a fun factor, the tougher the terrain becomes.
EQUIPMENT
There are plenty of features on the new KTM Freeride 350 that make it stand out from other brands. For example, the prestigious composite frame and the plastic subframe, the high quality, fully adjustable WP suspension combined with machined triple clamps, the variably mounted foot rests, the comfortable hydraulic clutch and, not least, the extra-light, elaborately styled wheels.
