With its exclusive look, uncompromising technology and the unmistakable spirit of the world's most traditional enduro event, the Mattighofen-based brand is bringing a real highlight to the market with the new KTM EXC 6DAYS range 2026, which is both visually impressive and sets new technical standards. Just in time for the 99th edition of the FIM International Six Days Enduro in Bergamo (Italy), KTM is presenting five special models that are intended to set standards not only on paper, but especially off-road.
Why 6DAYS at all?
The "Six Days" have been the showcase of international enduro racing for decades. Those who succeed here are among the world's elite. Italy, France, the USA, and Great Britain have proven in recent years how fiercely competitive the World Trophy is. Starting August 24, 2025, Bergamo will once again host a week of riding, sweating, and fighting – and KTM wants to not just participate, but dominate as usual.
The mission: Exclusivity meets performance
Every KTM is “READY TO RACE.” But the EXC 6DAYS Edition goes one step further. It's a showcase of technology, a flagship of style—and a statement to the competition. Five models are available for 2026:
- KTM 300 EXC 6DAYS (2-stroke)
- KTM 250 EXC-F 6DAYS
- KTM 350 EXC-F 6DAYS
- KTM 450 EXC-F 6DAYS
- KTM 500 EXC-F 6DAYS
What's in it?
The basis is the revised 2026 Enduro model series. It not only features numerous technical innovations but is also clearly designed for performance. Retuned WP XACT closed-cartridge forks, together with the optimized WP XPLOR PDS shock absorber, ensure greater stability. At the same time, they reduce weight and provide noticeably better feedback to the rider. Together, these factors provide the perfect ingredients for faster times on any surface.
In addition, KTM has also made improvements in the details, with the fuel system now being reinforced with an additional protective cap, the radiator covers being more robust, and all models being equipped with fans as standard, thus sustainably improving both reliability and cooling performance.
Greetings from Italy: The new design
The special livery of the 6DAYS 2026 is a clear homage to the host country Italy: striking shades of blue, white, green and red, combined with the iconic orange frame. Add to that CNC-machined triple clamps, quick-release front axles, a Supersprox stealth sprocket, and the signature 6DAYS logos on the handlebars, rims, and exhaust. In short: a look that shows the front even in the paddock.
More than just looks: The extra features
In addition to the look, there are also real racing goodies:
- Floating brake disc at the front, solid brake disc at the rear
- Safety wire on the rear brake
- Weight-saving engine protection
- Mapping switch for variable engine characteristics
- Metzeler 6DAYS Extreme tires as standard
Bikes with a winning gene
The 6 KTM EXC 2026DAYS range is far more than just a classic special edition, combining state-of-the-art technology with striking style and pure enduro DNA to create a coherent package. Anyone who competes on these bikes isn't just riding a motorcycle, but also embracing the spirit of the legendary Six Days, making it directly tangible on any terrain.
Whether in Bergamo or on local trails: With the EXC 6DAYS in 2026, the motto is once again clear: dust for the competition, goosebumps for the riders. Further details about the new bikes can be found on the website of the Austrian manufacturer.
