• Powerful engine characteristics<br />

• Extremely <strong>com</strong>pact<br />

• Wide rev range<br />

The <strong>com</strong>pletely new 350 cc power<br />

unit is <strong>com</strong>parable with nothing ever<br />

seen before. It is neither a small<br />

450 nor a “bored out” 250; it has<br />

a character <strong>com</strong>pletely of its own.<br />

The primary reason for this is absolutely<br />

minimal moving masses.<br />

The engine therefore runs extremely<br />

quickly in the rev range where<br />

most power is generated and<br />

impresses with unprecedented<br />

playful handling. Very mellow from<br />

low down and a real beast at higher<br />

engine speeds. You need to try it<br />

yourself to see how that feels.<br />

DOHC<br />

cylinder<br />

head<br />

Precision engine construction:<br />

four titanium valves are opened<br />

by twin overhead camshafts, the<br />

8 g super-light cam followers are<br />

DLC-coated. This makes speeds<br />

of up to 12,000 rpm possible.<br />

First Oil Filling<br />

for all KTM Engines.<br />

Engine<br />

management<br />

The engine management system from Keihin with electronic fuel injection<br />

and 42 mm throttle body ensures powerful responsiveness across a very<br />

broad rev range. Very smooth, very even, very efficient – a new dimension<br />

in enduro rideability.<br />

Standard equipment: electronic cold-start enrichment and automatic<br />

adaptation to temperature and altitude conditions. Reliable energy<br />

provision is taken care of by the powerful, oil-cooled, 196 W alternator.<br />

With an optional map-select switch and the user-setting tool<br />

(PowerParts), additional engine characteristics can be activated at<br />

the press of a button and the ignition and injection mapping can be<br />

individually adapted on a laptop via a USB interface.<br />

Electric<br />

starter<br />

As standard with both kick and<br />

electric starters. The electric<br />

starter drive is integrated in the<br />

ignition cover and designed to be<br />

very small and <strong>com</strong>pact. Those<br />

who prefer it can convert to pure<br />

kickstart operation. This saves an<br />

extra 1500 g for weight purists.<br />

CLUTCH<br />

Innovative: single-piece, machined<br />

outer clutch hub without<br />

rivets featuring lining disks on<br />

slim steel carriers. The design<br />

guarantees maximum durability<br />

at the same time as a very flat<br />

construction. Pre-tensioning by<br />

means of a central spring washer.<br />

Without the conventional conical<br />

springs, there’s enough space<br />

for an integrated, transmissionfriendly<br />

back-damping system.<br />

Standard equipment: hydraulic<br />

clutch actuation from Brembo.<br />

(see page 16).
