2012 KTM 525XC
SUPERIORITY. Born into superiority. 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 from the start.
2012 KTM 525XC ATV Review
MASTERPIECE TRANSMISSION / CLUTCH
With the innovative 5-gear transmission adapted optimally for cross country use, the XC models are in a class of their own. The Magura hydraulic clutch saves power on long rides and the reverse gear is extremely practical on the track or trail.
UNRIVALED CARBURETED POWER
The Keihin carburetor has been proven multiple times in racing. This 39mm carb’s Throttle Positioning System guarantees a uniform, forceful power delivery in all speed ranges.
LIGHTWEIGHT ELECTRIC STARTER
Packed in a space-saving manner into the free space behind the cylinder head, the small, lightweight electric starter motor is ready for use. It brings every KTM ATV up to speed reliably and comfortably even when racing becomes hectic.
LARGE CAPACITY FUEL TANK
When designing the tank, KTM focused heavily on two aspects: volume and shape. The XC tank holds approximately 3.35 gallons (13.4L) of fuel to ensure an enormous operating range. The fuel tanks comfortable shape allows the rider to easily maneuver around the tank to ensure quicker cornering time.
HIGH-GRADE REAR SUSPENSION
High-grade Ohlins spring elements designed for the hardest all-day Enduro racing are standard equipment – front and rear. Adjustability guarantees optimum tuning for the widest variety of terrains. A further highlight, the spring travel which at 10.8 inches (275 mm) front and 10.7 inches (272 mm) rear sets the trend for the Enduro ATV!
OUTSTANDING BRAKES
Outstanding riding performance requires absolutely top-specification brakes, such as those from Magura. At the front, a 4-piston brake with a fixed caliper (unique in the ATV field) grips two enormous 180mm wave disks. Highly resilient braided streel brake lines at the front.
DURABLE A-ARMS AND AXLE
The extremely durable chromoly steel A-arms can take the hardest professional cross country use. They have high-grade needle-roller bearings, are adjustable in camber and caster and can be easily exchanged. The rear axle is tapered, made of high-strength steel and allows for a variable rear width of 45 to 48.5 inches (1,076 to 1,148 mm).
AMAZING EXTRAS
Amazing features come standard on the XC models including: An ultra-durable, tapered aluminum Magura handlebar with four adjustable positions, extra-wide serrated footpegs, engine stop tether switch, extremely light aluminum silencer, Maxxis Razr tires on light durable DWT aluminum rims, aluminum subframe, high-strength, powder-coated chromoly steel frame and a curved radiator for maximized cooling efficiency.
2012 KTM 525XC ATV Features and Benefits
ATV: THE CROSS-COUNTRY CHAMPION
ENGINE
The 525 XC's powerful, liquid-cooled four-stroke, single-cylinder engine, featuring an extremely wide usable rev range, with a close-ratio, five-speed transmission, hydraulic clutch and proven 34 mm Keihin carburettor. All of which guarantees progressive, vigorous power development thanks to a throttle positioning sensor.
ELECTRIC STARTER
The 525 XC's small lightweight electric starter activates the four-stroke single cylinder reliably and quickly - for example, when tether switch attached to the rider has disconnected the ignition circuit, because things have become too hectic in the race again.
FRONT-AXLE CAMBER AND CASTER, REAR-AXLE TRACK, SUSPENSION COMPONENTS
The 525 XC's chassis can be set for various types of use and different types of course. Camber and caster on the front axle are just as variable as the track on the rear. On the shock absorbers, the compression and rebound damping are adjustable, as well as the spring preload.
BRAKES
Outstanding performance demands top-quality brakes. At the front of the 525 XC, four-piston fixed-caliper brakes from Magura, unique in the ATV world, bite hard into two huge wave discs. Braided steel brake lines all-round also come as standard.
INCLUDING HEADLIGHTS
Thanks to homologation for use on public roads, the 525 XC is the leader of the pack, not only off-road. Aside from lights and mirrors, the corresponding equipment includes a comfortable seat and a 13.4 l long-range fuel tank to reduce the frequency of breaks when out on tour.
