The KTM 500 is the closest thing to a 450 dual-sport that KTM offers in its regular line up. There is a limited-edition Six-Days 450EXC that comes out each fall, but it’s hard to find and generally expensive. It has basically the chassis of the 500EXC with the motor of the Husky FE450. The motor in the 500 is similar to the 450s in the combined KTM/Husqvarna line, but gets its additional displacement thanks to a 72mm stroke; 8.6mm longer than the 450’s.
The one design element that’s most significant for the KTM is the use of PDS rear suspension. That eliminates the shock linkage and increases ground clearance. KTM also has completely different bodywork from the Husqvarna. Many of its components are different,too. It has a Nekken handlebar, Brembo brakes, Brembo clutch hydraulics and Excel rims. The aluminum subframe and the airbox are separated, but the bike uses the reed-valve in the airboot, just like the Husky.
