Enduro-quality dual-sports bikes that are not just powerful but also versatile are difficult to find and maybe even a luxury. Especially due to certain emissions and licensing regulations in various states, only a few dual-sports are legally available in the market. KTM being one of these flagship brands, the importance of a good KTM dual sport store has increased even further. The KTM 500 EXC is one of the flagship models of KTM dual sport, and is counted among the ten best in class.

In fact, KTM dual sport bikes have become a benchmark in the industry, so much so that even the Husky is now based on the KTM. As a result, many of its bikes have a similar feel to the KTM dual sport, only difference being in their frame designs and suspension are different, giving difference in performance.

In terms of suspension, the KTM dual sport has a 48mm WP 4860 MXMA open-cartridge fork and a Progressive Damping System linkless shock. A good KTM dual sport store such as Moto Lab carries all the KTM suspension parts as well as accessories required to take care of your KTM bike. Some of these include: conversion kits, open chamber fork springs, shock springs, Husqvarna linkage guard, etc.

KTM dual sport also has an open-cartridge design, which makes it much simpler to maintain as well set up and optimize weight and other rider preferences. Also, KTM uses cast units as opposed to the CNC machined billet triple clamps used in the Husky—a subtle but notable difference.

Even though the KTM dual sport comes at a price, it’s standard parts including turn signals, headlights, licence-plate brackets and mirrors (all of which are street legal and can withstand a lot of abuse), more than make up for it. At the risk of repeating, KTM suspension parts are also easily available easily at any standard KTM store, making it a good investment. While the KTM has high-quality tapered aluminium handlebars, it does not have a standard frame or engine protection, nor a GPS/computer.

There are several other great features of a KTM. For example, its throttle response is very good, and gives a lot of power the moment throttle is fired up. It also has automatic altitude adjustment, due to which the fuel utilization is always correct. In case of any issues with your KTM’s fuel performance, visit an experienced KTM dual sport store.

Now, let’s talk about the KTM’s suspension performance. KTM bikes have a great suspension and stable chassis as a result of which the bike doesn’t lose its footing even on rocks and roots. However, it may so happen that at high speeds, as well while jumping over gaps, the suspension may suffer. If there’s ever a problem with the bike’s suspension, visit a good KTM store that will provide you with quality KTM suspension parts.
