2022 KTM 350 XC-F Factory Edition First Look

Last year KTM unveiled the 350 XC-F Kailub Russell, a special-edition version of the eight-time Grand National Cross Country (GNCC) champion’s motorcycle. With Russell having retired from full-time GNCC racing at the end of last year, the Austrian manufacturer introduced a similar model for 2022 called the 350 XC-F Factory Edition.

KTM appropriately announced the 350 XC-F Factory Edition at the final round of the 2021 GNCC season at Ironman Raceway in Crawfordsville, Indiana. In fact, we got to test the new cross-country racer at the muddy event, so stay tuned for that story to hit the site soon.
