Description

The 350 XCF-W is the ultimate machine when four-stroke rideability and maximum enduro performance are called for. Thanks to its compact, powerful DOHC engine, its low weight and its perfectly tuned suspension, this machine masters each and every tough spot in cross-country riding with ease. And thanks to its excellent handling, it always holds the advantage when the going gets tough. The longer the distance, the more the rider benefits from this, pros and beginners alike.

ENGINE

ENGINE

The 350cc 4-stroke engine with a state-of-the-art electronic fuel injection offers a very wide power band and is distinguished by a dynamic but fatigue proof power delivery. At over 45hp of maximum power, the 350 XCF-W is strong enough to beat any 450.

GENERATOR

The 350 engine is equipped with a 196W generator with integrated starter freewheel. The generator provides sufficient energy for the fuel injection, lighting and other electrical loads. Compared to the 350 SX-F, the oil-cooled rotor has a bigger diameter with a larger flywheel mass and requires a larger ignition cover.

OIL CIRCUIT

The 350 engine is equipped with two oil pumps. A pressure pump provides reliable lubrication for the crankshaft, piston, counter balance shaft and valve train, while cooling the ignition and lubricating the clutch. A scavenger pump draws oil from the crankcase to lubricate the transmission. This also creates a small vacuum within the crankcase, which increases engine performance. For MY 2015, the oil pump suction screen has new O-rings that increase durability under extreme conditions and over time.

CRANKSHAFT

Compared to the 350 SX-F, the 350 XCF-W has a heavier crankshaft in order to achieve a more even power delivery and better traction through the greater gyrating mass. The crankshaft employs a plain big end bearing. Two force-fitted bearing shells run directly on the crank pin. The necessary oil feed for this bearing is delivered by the engine’s pressure lubrication. This design increases the engine’s long-term durability, lengthening crankshaft service intervals – a customer benefit in terms of time, effort and cost.

BALANCER SHAFT

In order to balance the mass-forces, the 350 XCF-W engine has a counter balancer shaft on the right side, doubling as a water pump drive and cam chain drive wheel. This solution is a major contribution to the extremely compact engine layout.

DDS CLUTCH

The single-piece basket of the DDS clutch (damped diaphragm steel) is machined from solid high-tensile steel in one piece together with the primary drive gear. This process provides unbeatable reliability and contributes to the narrow engine width due to its compact rivet-less design. This construction also allows the use of thin steel linings that contribute to the compact clutch dimensions. The diaphragm spring makes it possible to implement an additional rubber damping system inside the clutch hub, which offers the certainty of reliability for the transmission and good traction. For MY 2015, the clutch basket has been reworked, making it lighter. To compliment the diaphragm spring the Brembo hydraulic clutch mechanism offers a very light operation and good, controllable modulation of the clutch.

ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (EMS)

The Engine Management System by Keihin with electronic fuel injection and a 42mm throttle body ensures a spontaneous response and maximum engine performance.

VALVE TRAIN

The crankshaft drives an intermediate shaft on the side which in turn drives the coolant pump and the two camshafts via the cam chain while at the same time acting as a counter balancer. A hydraulic chain tensioner enesures reliable chain tension to achieve highly precise valve timings.

STARTER

The engine is equipped with a kickstarter as well as an electric starter as standard. Well protected behind the cylinder, the electric starter is connected to the freewheel on the ignition rotor via the starter drive in the ignition cover.

SUPERIOR CHASSIS

HANDLEBAR

All XC-W models are fitted with the super strong, tapered Neken handlebar made of high tensile strength aluminum alloy. The proven standard KTM mount allows to fix the handlebar in four different positions. 2015 sees the introduction of hand guards made of a new 2-component polymer for more durability and effective hand protection.

FUEL TANK

All fuel tanks are made of lightweight translucent material. The 4-stroke models are fitted with fuel pumps and pressure regulators. The release mechanism of the bayonet filler cap has been optimized so the cap can be opened quicker and easier.

BRAKES

High-Tech Brembo brakes have always been standard equipment on KTM off-road bikes, and combined with the lightweight Galfer Wave discs, they are the ultimate solution in braking technology. Being the class-leading brakes in offroad, they remain unchanged for MY 2015.

FRAME

The XC-W’s chassis is second to none and for 2015 the bikes will feature the striking Factory orange usually seen only on KTM’s race team machines. The modern and lightweight frame design with exceptional quality and performance created with by WP Performance Systems is made of lightweight, high strength chromoly steel sections. Not only does it provide easy handling and precise cornering, but also outstanding stability.

SUSPENSION/DAMPING

The XC-W models feature WP suspension, which is specifically designed for Enduro racing and ensures maximum traction comprised with plenty of comfort. As expected, the compression and rebound damping can be adjusted to suit racing conditions and rider preference as well as separate high and low speed shock compression adjustments.

SEAT

The seat has an improved foam core that ensures even higher padding stability.

SWINGARM

Designed using the latest in calculation and simulation software, the design and wall thickness of the cast aluminum swingarm have been optimized for minimum weight at optimum stiffness and precisely defined flexibility. In 2014, the engineers revised the chain guide to increase reliability while lowering the weight.

SPEEDOMETER

A new MAE speedometer has been included on the MY 2015’s with a clean, minimalistic and integrated design. This includes the warning lights in a tidy, single unit with clear and more readily available information.

GRIPS

New, softer two-compound grips are used on MY 2015 XC-W models for increased comfort and less stress on the rider’s hands.
