Get ready to conquer the trails with this 2015 KTM 250cc Freeride R T^ Perfect for riders who crave excitement and adventure, this bike is designed for top-tier performance in off-road conditions. Whether you?re a seasoned rider or looking to step up your trail game, the KTM 250 Freeride R delivers on power, agility, and durability.^^KTM Freeride 250 bridges the gap between a full-size enduro and a trials bike. It has a relatively low seat height of 36 inches and a claimed dry weight of only 204 pounds, which helps make it a great playbike. Most riders will find that the compact size inspires confidence in difficult terrain.^^The chassis is unique. It uses a perimeter frame made of chrome-moly steel and aluminum. In front, there's an inverted 43mm WP fork. In back, a link-less WP PDS shock. The controls and brakes are supplied by Formula and Braking, while Maxxis Trialmaxx tires are used front and rear. The torquey powerplant is a carbureted 250cc two-stroke single based loosely on a KTM 250 XC motor. It has electric start only, and there's no power valve. In addition to being quieter, the exhaust is smaller and tucked away better. In short, the Freeride motor feels very trials-like. It makes mellow usable power early in the range then signs off quickly. It has a smaller carburetor, lower compression, and less horsepower than the 250 XC motor, but it makes great torque and will chug lower than any enduro bike without stalling.
