KTM 500 EXC एक उच्च-विस्थापन वाली ऑफ-रोड एंडुरो मोटरसाइकिल है जिसे 2012 में KTM द्वारा एक आधुनिक फोर-स्ट्रोक पैकेज में 500cc टू-स्ट्रोक युग अवधारणा को पुनर्जीवित करने के बाद फिर से पेश किया गया था, जिसमें एक परिष्कृत 510cc (500 के रूप में विपणन किया गया) SOHC सिंगल-सिलेंडर इंजन का उपयोग किया गया था। यह अपने शक्तिशाली लेकिन ट्रैक्टेबल इंजन, हल्के चेसिस और कई बाजारों में स्ट्रीट-लीगल क्षमता के कारण बाजार में सबसे लोकप्रिय डुअल-स्पोर्ट और एंडुरो मशीनों में से एक बन गई। पिछले कुछ वर्षों में इसे ईंधन इंजेक्शन (EXC-F 500 लाइन), बेहतर सस्पेंशन और इलेक्ट्रॉनिक्स सहित निरंतर अपडेट प्राप्त हुए, जिससे ओपन-क्लास एंडुरो सेगमेंट में एक बेंचमार्क के रूप में इसकी प्रतिष्ठा मजबूत हुई।

प्रयुक्त क्रेता समीक्षा
"An exceptional machine that punishes neglectful previous owners — and their buyers."
$6,500-$10,500 usedThe 500 EXC is KTM's big-bore enduro weapon, and used examples are everywhere right now — which tells you something about how hard owners push them. That LC4-derived single thumps out serious torque and will genuinely embarrass trail bikes twice its price, but these engines drink oil and the WP suspension needs constant attention to stay dialed in. Buy one that's been serviced properly and it's brilliant. Buy a neglected example and you're funding someone else's rebuild. Checking used ones, look hard at the airbox and filter — dusty neglect kills these motors fast. The six-speed gearbox is slick when healthy but develops a notchy first-to-second shift when worn. Hour meters rarely tell the full story; focus on the PDS shock condition and whether the header pipe is heat-blued from lean running. Pre-2017 models had intermittent fuel mapping issues that proper tuning typically sorted. Run well, this is one of the most capable dual-sport machines money can buy. Run hard and ignored, it's an expensive lesson.
