DescriptionThe whole story▼

The KTM 250 XC-W in its 2017–2023 form takes Öhlins part number FFX 1301. The front end is where a rider's confidence is won or lost on the 250 XC-W.

Key Features

  • Spring part number 02428-43 fitted
  • Model-specific fitment for the KTM 250 XC-W (2017–2023) — no modification required
  • Delivered with a 4,3 N/mm spring, selected for the 250 XC-W
  • 293 mm of travel at the damper

Construction and Material Quality

Tube diameter, offset and axle clamp are all specified per model so the assembly drops into the standard yokes. Öhlins sets a baseline for each part number on the machine it was developed on, so it works before anything is adjusted. Öhlins manufactures in Upplands Väsby, north of Stockholm, and assembles and tests every unit there before it ships.

About the RXF 48 S Range

The S in RXF 48 S stands for the spring conversion: a coil spring replaces the air chamber the standard fork uses. For a rider who wants the fork to feel the same on the last lap as on the first, that is the whole argument. A coil spring holds its rate as the fork heats; an air spring does not, and that is the central argument for the conversion.

Why This Machine Needs It

At 250 cc the 250 XC-W makes enough torque to load the rear hard on corner exit, and the damper has to keep the wheel in contact while that happens. The 2017–2023 generation kept the same chassis dimensions throughout, so one Öhlins number serves the whole run. Enduro use means long days, hot oil and terrain that changes every hundred metres.

Front-End Performance

At 935 mm it matches the standard unit's installed length exactly. Spring part number 02428-43 is a separate catalogue item, so a rate change is inexpensive. The recommended oil is 1330; using something else changes the damping the shim stack was set for. A 4,3 N/mm spring comes fitted, and it is the first thing to reconsider if the rider is heavy or light. Öhlins supplies a baseline setting sheet with the fork. Each function has its own adjuster, which is what allows one change to be judged honestly.
