The 500 EXC-F is KTM’s largest-displacement dual sport model. It’s no secret that we think highly of the 500 EXC-F for its powerful yet controllable engine character, well-rounded WP suspension, nimble handling, light weight, and top-shelf Brembo brakes. In the past 10 years, it has been named Cycle World’s Best Enduro/Dual Sport five times (2012, 2013, 2014, 2017, and 2019).

2020 KTM 500 EXC-F Reviews, Comparisons, And Competition

The KTM 500 EXC-F won Cycle World’s 2019 Dual Sport Shootout, which took place in Moab, Utah. While we were riding the red rocks of Moab, we took the time to compare the 500 EXC-F to its smaller-displacement sibling, the 350 EXC-F as well. “The KTM 500 EXC-F is the dual sport to which all others are compared, with the broadest performance envelope,” Cycle World Senior Editor Justin Dawes wrote. “It really is the dual sport for anywhere and everywhere.” Yeah, exactly.
