Product Overview

Product Name: KTM 250 (2008)
Brand:

The 2008 KTM 250 came in two distinct flavors: the SX-F, a four-stroke motocross machine, and the EXC-F, a four-stroke off-road enduro bike. Both shared the same basic chassis and engine platform, but with key differences in their focus.

Engine Performance

The jewel in the crown of the 2008 KTM 250 was its DOHC (Double Overhead Camshaft) 250cc engine. This was a significant update for KTM, offering a claimed 39 horsepower at 11,000 rpm for the SX-F. Reviews consistently praise the strong powerband, with excellent mid-range punch and the ability to scream to high revs. For the EXC-F, power delivery was tuned for enduro riding, with a focus on smoother, more controllable power.

Suspension and Handling

Both models were known for their nimble handling and high-quality WP suspension. However, some reviewers found the stock suspension to be undersprung, requiring adjustments or upgrades for heavier riders or more aggressive riding styles. The lighter weight of the EXC-F was often noted as a major advantage on technical trails.

Maintenance

One of the biggest considerations for any KTM is maintenance. These are high-performance machines, and keeping them running at their best requires a certain level of commitment. The 2008 models were no exception. Valve adjustments and piston replacements are more frequent than on some competitors, and reviewers noted the cost can be a factor.

Overall

The 2008 KTM 250, in both SX-F and EXC-F variants, was a standout machine for its time. It offered exceptional performance, lightweight handling, and top-shelf components. However, be prepared for the demands of maintaining a high-performance machine.
