Vehicle Information
KTM 360 EXC Dirt Bike (1996-1997)
The KTM 360 EXC, produced from 1996 to 1997, was a high-performance two-stroke enduro motorcycle renowned for its powerful engine and agile handling. Both model years featured a liquid-cooled, single-cylinder 353.7 cc engine, often rounded to 360cc, known for delivering "near-500 power" and "mountains of torque," making it excellent for hillclimbs. The 360 EXC was offered as a single "EXC" model without distinct sub-trims during this period. The 1996 model introduced the 360 engine platform, bringing significant upgrades over its 1995 predecessor, including an improved CDI ignition, a revised cylinder head, and a lighter aluminum swingarm. For 1997, the engine received "slight changes." A notable difference between the two years is the transmission: the 1996 model had a 5-speed, while some specifications for 1997 indicate a 6-speed, though other sources also list a 5-speed. Both years are recognizable by their unique "honeycomb colored plastics." FAQ:
