Overview

For those who simply can’t get enough, the new 530 EXC is heading to the start line this year with a completely overhauled chassis. An insatiable fighting machine that is unfazed by even the toughest Enduro challenges on the one hand, and a complete workhorse that undeviatingly pursues its course – strong and reliably, on the other. Fed by the powerful SOHC engine, it provides brute four-stroke power but can also impress with soft power when needed.
