KTM X-Bow Arrow Off-Roader Revealed With Up To 330hp

KTM X-Bow has unveiled the Arrow, its first off-road vehicle, a side-by-side powered by a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine making up to 330hp. Reservations for the KTM X-Bow Arrow open on November 17 in select global markets.

The project was started by KTM X-Bow owner and Belgian rally driver Guillaume de Mévius, who finished second in the 2024 Dakar Rally. His G Rally Team, set up in 2018 and now called the KTM X-Bow Lab Team, served as the testing and development platform for the Arrow. Dutch rally-raid driver Puck Klaassen also worked on the Arrow as a test driver.

KTM X-Bow Arrow - Price and Availability

Prices for the KTM X-Bow Arrow start at $59,800 (Rs 56.04 lakh) for the standard version. The launch-spec Black Limited Edition is priced from $98,600 (Rs 92.4 lakh) and is restricted to 500 units worldwide.

Orders for the KTM X-Bow Arrow can be placed through KTM X-Bow's dealer network and website. Customer deliveries are expected to begin in late 2027.

KTM X-Bow Arrow - Powertrain and Chassis

The KTM X-Bow Arrow runs on the Volkswagen Group's 2.0-litre four-cylinder direct-injection turbo-petrol EA888 engine, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic and all-wheel drive. The standard car makes 280hp, while the Black Limited Edition makes 330hp. Dry weight is 999kg for the standard version, against 1,100kg for the Black Limited Edition.

The chromoly steel chassis comes from KTM Components and previously supported KTM's Dakar Rally programmes. Suspension is double-wishbone at all four corners, with shocks developed alongside KW Reiger, and KTM is targeting over 600mm of travel. Front and rear limited-slip differentials improve traction on loose surfaces.

KTM X-Bow Arrow - Design and Interior

The KTM X-Bow Arrow measures 3,700mm in length, 1,950mm in width and 1,800mm in height, with a 2,900mm wheelbase. Ground clearance is 430mm, and the off-roader rides on 15-inch wheels with off-road tyres.

Up front are slim angled headlamps, orange lights, a rectangular grille and a silver skid plate. ARROW lettering features on the doors along with KTM X-BOW decals on the pillars, and the high-travel springs are visible behind the tyres.

The fully enclosed cabin is finished in black and orange, with a passenger grab handle and fabric door pulls. Sabelt seats and harness systems secure the occupants.

The dashboard houses a digital driver's display and a 10-inch infotainment touchscreen. The Black Limited Edition adds air conditioning and a hydraulic fly-off handbrake.
