Born into superiority. This sentence applies to no other ATV better than to the 525 XC. The KTM Enduro flagship sets new standards in the cross-country sector. With extremely high performance and perfect handling, the 525 XC is the ideal candidate for demanding trails or dune adventures. Brutal power and standard-fit racing equipment ensure that this ATV takes the lead in the favour of the quad fan from the start.
For 2011 Suzuki has taken its potent RM-Z250, and have fine-tuned it into an even more capable machine. The 2011 RM-Z has seen numerous updates: it now meets a stricter AMA noise limit (94db) while maintaining smooth engine output; the intake and exhaust timing has been changed for better engine feeling with lower noise output; the exhaust pipe length has been changed for better engine feeling with lower noise; ECU settings have been updated for more linear acceleration and improved over-rev; and the radiator hose routing has been changed for more efficient cooling.
In addition, Suzuki has focused on improving operation and overall feeling (primarily in shifting and starting). The 2011 RM-Z250 features improved lubrication on the center of the clutch and counter shaft for better durability and improved clutch feel; an updated transmission (focusing on 3rd and 4th gear) provides improved durability; and the kick starting arm has been redesigned for improved starting.

The CRF250R likes to win. Plain and simple. In fact, this machine has grown so used to taking checkered flags that it considers the top of the podium home. It’s not easy, though, because when you’re this good, everyone else is always gunning for you. And that means you always have to stay that much better, which is exactly what this year’s all-new-from-the-dirt-up Honda CRF250R has done.
And we didn’t have to look far for inspiration, adapting many of the same cutting-edge features found on the open-class-leading and championship-winning CRF450R. Like Honda’s revolutionary batteryless fuel-injection system. A lightweight, more potent Unicam engine. An innovative new single exhaust setup. An all-new twin-spar aluminum frame. And our exclusive Honda Progressive Steering Damper (HPSD). It even takes some serious new styling cues from its big brother.
| Introduction |
| It’s an old refrain: The factory guys get all the good stuff. Their bikes are faster, lighter and just plain tricker than the motocrossers you can buy off the showroom floor. There’s some truth there. But that’s changing. The gap between production and factory-prepped motocrossers has never been narrower. And with the introduction of Kawasaki’s massively reworked 2011 KX™250F, that gap just shrank a little more. |
When you have a bike in your range like the 250 SX-F, which has been the dominant force in the World Championship MX2 class for years, then it would be very easy to just sit back and carry on as before. Luckily, however, that’s not how things work in racing, or at KTM for that matter. That’s why the new 2011 generation is being launched with a completely reworked chassis, new bodywork and the next stage in engine development with fuel injection.
250 SX
For years KTM has committed to the development of 2-stroke engines which are an advantage against 4-strokes in many aspects. With an unbeatable power-to-weight ratio, lower cost of acquisition and easy to maintain and service – there is no better choice than a two-stroke.
New MY 2011:
– New chassis (PDS)
– New airbox
– Air flow optimized intake boot between filter and carburetor
– New exhaust (new shape with bigger diameter at connection pipe)
– New two component rear silencer (better connection and bigger inner diameter)
– Newly developed cylinder (lower exhaust port, new timing and optimized exhaust control)
– Noticeable increase in power performance
– Higher torque
– Better rideability
