Overview
The 2025 KTM 250 EXC-F is often viewed by experienced riders as a strong reference point in the Enduro category in Sri Lanka, favoured by serious off-road enthusiasts who tackle the challenging terrains of the hill country and dry zones. While often imported as a competition machine, it remains a popular aspirational choice for riders seeking a lightweight, high-performance Enduro machine designed primarily for demanding off-road use.

Pros
The power-to-weight ratio is frequently cited by owners as class-leading, allowing the bike to climb steep technical inclines with controlled traction.WP XPLOR suspension absorbs massive impacts and rocks, providing ride quality that some riders describe as smoother over rough terrain.Maintenance access is designed for competition, meaning air filters and oil changes can be handled quickly trail-side if necessary.The hydraulic clutch is praised for its consistent feel and lack of fade during intense clutch-slipping maneuvers in technical jungle trails.Resale value for genuine KTM Enduro models remains high in Sri Lanka due to the scarcity of newer model years.
Cons
The seat height of 960mm is extremely tall, which shorter riders find challenging when navigating stop-and-go technical sections.Maintenance is measured in hours rather than kilometers, requiring frequent oil changes and valve checks that can be costly for a casual owner.Engine heat can be significant in slow-moving traffic or tight trails, often requiring an aftermarket radiator fan for the Sri Lankan climate.Driver Insights
4.5
out of 5
The KTM 250 EXC-F is positioned as a professional-grade tool rather than a commuter, appealing to dedicated off-roaders and competitive riders. It offers higher off-road capability than most dual-sport alternatives available locally. Feedback from the local off-road community suggests that while the initial cost is high, the capability it provides on "hard enduro" tracks justifies the investment for serious hobbyists.
