Complete Carbon Fiber Upgrade Guide for KTM EXC 250–690 (2020–2025)

KTM EXC motorcycle carbon fiber upgrade guide 2025

The KTM EXC range — from the 250 TPI to the 690 SMC R — is built for performance. Adding carbon fiber parts is the single most impactful visual and functional upgrade you can make without touching the engine. This guide covers every CS Compositi part available for the EXC range and how each one benefits your riding.

Why the EXC Range?

The KTM EXC is one of the most popular enduro platforms in Europe, with a loyal following from recreational trail riders to national-level enduro competitors. Its geometry, suspension and engine character make it the benchmark in the segment — and a bike that serious riders want to personalise and optimise. Carbon fiber is the natural starting point.

Headlight Mask

The headlight mask is the most visible part of the front end and the first upgrade most EXC riders make. The CS Compositi headlight mask is made from 3K dry carbon prepreg, saving approximately 160 g over the OEM plastic equivalent. It fits KTM EXC 250, 300, 450, 500 and 690 models from 2020 onwards and installs in under 15 minutes using original hardware.

Side Panels and Number Plates

Side panels take the most abuse on an enduro bike — boot scuffs, branch strikes and tip-over damage are inevitable. Carbon fiber side panels resist surface damage better than painted plastic and, when they do get marked, the weave pattern disguises minor scuffs effectively. CS Compositi side panels are available for the full EXC range and weigh 30–40% less than OEM.

Fender and Fork Guards

Front fender weight sits at the very top of the front wheel — one of the worst places for unsprung mass. A carbon fiber front fender reduces both weight and rotational inertia, giving a noticeably lighter front end feel on fast, technical terrain. Fork guards in carbon add scratch resistance without the brittleness of thin OEM plastic at low temperatures.

Tank Shrouds

Tank shrouds in carbon fiber complete the full carbon transformation of the bike. Matched with the headlight mask and side panels, the result is a bike that looks custom and competition-ready directly from the paddock.

Which Model Years Are Compatible?

All CS Compositi parts are tested for direct fitment on KTM EXC models from 2020 to 2025. If you are unsure about compatibility for your specific model year, contact us before ordering — we will confirm fitment within one business day.

The Complete Carbon Package

Running a full CS Compositi carbon kit on your KTM EXC saves approximately 1.0–1.4 kg over the full OEM plastic set — without any compromise in protection or fitment. Every part uses the same aerospace prepreg carbon, the same European quality control and the same direct OEM fitment. Made in Europe, shipped from Sweden in 3–5 days.
