Vehicle Information
KTM 550 MXC Dirt Bike (1993-1996)
The KTM 550 MXC, also known as the 550 M/XC, was an iconic big-bore two-stroke dirt bike produced from 1993 to 1996. It was renowned for its powerful engine and suitability for motocross and cross-country riding. At its core, the bike featured a single-cylinder, two-stroke 548cc engine, which maintained consistent displacement across all production years. This engine, derived from KTM's European sidecar racing motors, delivered massive torque, smooth power, and a mellow low-to-mid range, making it highly effective for off-road, enduro, and dune riding. While the engine remained fundamentally unchanged, a significant mid-cycle update occurred in 1995 with the suspension. KTM transitioned from White Power components to Marzocchi Magnum forks and an Ohlins rear shock, providing a substantial improvement in ride comfort and bottoming resistance. The model was offered as a single primary trim level, MXC or M/XC, throughout this period. Frequently Asked Questions:
