The six-bike 2024 KTM Cross Country lineup is here. Consisting of three XC two-strokes and a trio of XC-F four-strokes in essentially identical chassis, the six KTM dirt bikes get significant suspension updates, along with the inevitable bold new graphics.
Gone for 2024 is the WP Xact air fork. It is replaced by a spring-type WP Xact Closed Cartridge fork featuring a hydro stop for improved near-bottoming performance and a mid-valve piston to smooth out the action. Also, the new fork has 10mm less travel than last year’s air fork, evening out the wheel travel at both ends to 11.8 inches. Additionally, the WP Xact shock, which was new last year, gets updated settings to match the new fork. All damping adjustments are toolless.
Also new this year is the adoption of the upshift-only quickshifter across the XC-F range. This allows clutchless full-throttle upshifts from 2nd to top gear. Owners of 2023 six-speed XC-F models can get this feature retrofitted as a software update. The four-strokes also have traction control and launch control. All six 2024 KTM Cross Country bikes are fuel injected and have two maps changeable via a handlebar-mounted switch.
KTM hasn’t announced the 2024 KTM cross-country lineup prices, though the new bikes are en route to your local dealer.
