2027 KTM FREERIDE E PUSHES THE PULSE FOR A THRILLING OFFROAD ELECTRIC RIDE
KTM’s FREERIDE philosophy of motorcycling liberty endures for 2027 thanks to the latest edition of the KTM FREERIDE E: the company’s flagship expression of effortless, low maintenance but high-quality engineering in electric mobility while hiking the fun factor.
For over a decade the KTM FREERIDE E has thrust many advantages of the concept directly into riders’ faces: a low-emissions, quiet, easy-to-service, durable offroad motorcycle that breaks boundaries for when and where it can be ridden. The convenience has been matched by performance: instant and grin-inducing torque and a 95 km/h top speed powered by a 29 kg MX50 Lithium-Ion battery providing 2-3 hours of typical Enduro-esque riding time. Combine these elements with a purpose-built chassis, latest-generation WP XACT suspension, Braketec hardware and Michelin Enduro Medium tires and the KTM FREERIDE E lives up to its name.
For 2027 KTM has squeezed the peak power to 19.2 kW from the inaudible, efficient, waterproof and dustproof motor that also buzzes with 37 Nm of torque. The output can be administered through three ride modes and three energy recouperation settings that help extend the range and potential of the KTM FREERIDE E. The electronic package is advanced, featuring a ‘rollover’ sensor for safety and adjustable traction control and relayed through clear LEDs.
The new KTM FREERIDE E has shaved weight and tips the scales at 112 kg. The same agile and precision-engineered chrome-molybdenum steel frame surrounds the engine package and battery architecture. The subframe is made from aluminum and glass-fiber reinforced nylon and the seat height has now crept up to 910 mm.
More gains have been made with the battery capacity with a slight increase compared to the previous model. Riders can count on a 5.5 kWh from the innovative ‘swappable’ technology and the battery itself will easily withstand over 1000 charging cycles before a dip towards 80% effectiveness.
The KTM FREERIDE E has been crafted on the immeasurable input of KTM’s offroad pedigree, countless hours of R&D as well as careful study of the latest hardware and software that applies to motorcycles in the electric segment. A refreshed colorway and renewed aesthetic add to the sensation that riders are steering a symbol of the present and a view of tomorrow.
