Freeride is a series of small-displacement off-road motorcycles made by KTM from 2012 until the present (2023), packing different types of engines, including two-stroke, four-stroke, and electric.
The Freeride family of motorcycles was designed to climb mountains. In addition, the maker offered the electric model in a race-ready mountaineering version with the E-SX designation and a standard version with the E-SM designation.
The bikes were built around a perimeter frame composed of steel and aluminum. The vertical beam from the swingarm pin is aluminum, while the beams and the cradle are steel. The swingarm was also made of lightweight aluminum.
The first manufactured was the 350cc version that debuted in 2012, powered by a four-stroke engine. The second was the 250cc model manufactured from 2013, powered by a two-stroke engine. The electric model debuted in 2014, powered by a synchronous-type engine with permanent magnets.
In 2016, the Austrian motorcycle manufacturer launched the KTM Freeride 350, the largest version of the series powered by a 350cc four-stroke liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine fitted with an electric starter.
Suspension-wise, the small mountain climber was fitted with a 43 mm WP upside-down telescopic fork on the front with 250 mm of travel and a WP-PDS shock absorber with 280 mm wheel travel.
As for the braking power, the 2016 KTM Freeride 350 was fitted with a 260 mm disc and two-piston caliper on the 21-inch front wheel and a 210 mm disc with a single-piston caliper on the 19-inch rear wheel.
