KTM 350 EXC-F specifications
KTM · Dual-sport
Total Motorcycle says the EXC range is engineered around a black powder-coated frame for longitudinal rigidity that gives rider feedback, energy absorption and high-speed stability, with a subframe whose rigidity was tuned with computational dynamics. The same source adds that the 350 gained instant recognition on its arrival in 2012 and became a class-leading model for its rideability and competitive power, and that a lightweight 2 Ah lithium-ion starter battery gives reliable starting.

What the maker and guides say
KTM lists 300 mm (11.81 in) of front travel and 310 mm (12.2 in) of rear travel, a 260 mm front disc and 220 mm rear disc, a 1,489 mm wheelbase and a 63.9 degree head angle. The wheels are a 1.6 x 21 in front and 2.15 x 18 in rear, the fuel tank is 2.17 gal and the frame is a central double-cradle in 25CrMo4 steel.
Ground clearance of 347 mm (13.7 in) is the highest in this comparison, and the 963 mm (37.9 in) seat is tall.
A serious off-road bike with a plate
At $13,049 the 350 EXC-F costs more than twice the road-oriented dual-sports: Kawasaki's KLX300 is $5,649 and Honda's CRF300L Rally $6,499. Its 112.8 kg (about 249 lb) is a dry weight, while the road bikes' figures are curb weights. So the two are not directly comparable.
It is made for enduro riding, not commuting. The maintenance interval on a high-strung race-derived engine is short, and a used one must have its top end checked.
What a racing-derived engine asks of you
The lithium starter battery is small and light. So keep it charged if the bike sits between rides.

Kawasaki's KLX300 and Suzuki's DR-Z4S are the street-legal dual-sport rivals, both much cheaper.
KTM 350 EXC-F — specification referenceKTM · Dual-sport
The KTM 350 EXC-F is KTM's 349.7cc single-cylinder off-road machine listed as a dual-sport, with a six-speed gearbox and WP XACT-USD forks with 300 mm of travel. KTM lists a 963 mm seat, 347 mm of ground clearance and a 112.8 kg weight without fuel, and prices it at $13,049 plus $690 freight.

Motoryk lists electric start with a kickstart backup, a DDS clutch, Brembo brakes (260 mm front, 220 mm rear), WP XPLOR 48 mm fully adjustable forks and a fully adjustable WP XPLOR PDS shock, Bosch fuel injection and a chromoly frame. It flags two critical issues to watch for, including worn piston and cylinder from neglected maintenance, and advises a compression test and inspection for blow-by or smoke at startup.

What a racing-derived engine asks of you
The maintenance warning in Motoryk's owner notes matters more than it would on a road bike. A 349.7cc single tuned for competition wears its piston and cylinder faster if oil changes and air-filter care are skipped, which is why a compression test on a used bike is standard practice. Check the top end, the electric-start battery and the kickstart backup, and confirm the fuel-injection is not throwing faults.

2027 KTM 350 EXC-F questions
What should I check when buying a used KTM 350 EXC-F?
Motoryk warns of a worn piston and cylinder from neglected maintenance and advises a compression test and inspection for blow-by or smoke at startup.
How tall is the KTM 350 EXC-F?
KTM lists a 963 mm (37.9 in) seat and 347 mm of ground clearance, with 300 mm of front and 310 mm of rear suspension travel.
The smaller EXC-F and the route it must cover
The 349.7cc EXC-F is an alternative to the 510.9cc machine for a rider choosing an enduro layout. The published wheelbase and seat figures are shared, so the decision cannot be made by assuming the smaller engine also means a lower motorcycle. Try the 963 mm saddle and control reach with the suspension correctly set before relying on the number on the side panel.
Its $13,049 base price is $450 below the 500's $13,499. Compare the installed equipment on both offers and the maintenance needed for the planned riding. A lightly used example with documented service can be a different ownership proposition from a competition-used bike advertised at the same price. Inspect the actual gearing, protection and exhaust, and ask for the standard parts where modifications have been made.
The 2.17-gallon tank is a capacity statement, not a range promise. For a route involving fuel gaps, establish consumption from comparable terrain and leave a reserve. Technical riding, sustained road speed and fuel carried in luggage present different planning questions. Confirm the registration and equipment requirements for every public-road section independently of the EXC-F name.
