Puristic and Functional
As a result of its clear concept, the KTM X-BOW can do without plenty of elements that ordinarily add complexity and extra weight. So the narrow wind deflector makes an elaborate ventilation system and windscreen wipers unnecessary; doors are also not included in the design, due to the vehicle’s low overall height.
You’ll also look for a standard instrument panel in vain. The driver can find all the necessary driving information on a centrally located display.
The seats are further examples of the X-BOW's intelligent and simple construction: the shells for the driver’s and passenger’s seats are fully integrated into the carbon fibre construction of the monocoque. An overlay by Recaro that is individually fitted for the occupants’ size provides solid comfort. And the X-BOW has manually adjustable pedals, to provide the best ergonomics for drivers of any height.
Direct and Sporty
A low centre of gravity and well-adjusted balance are the prerequisites for excellent driving dynamics. The X-BOW's driving capabilities are extraordinary due to its superior chassis, which is directly descended from motor sports technologies. That means: suspension on double triangular wishbone axles, with suspension and damping elements by WP Suspension, with a pushrod arrangement up front.
The Italian brake specialist Brembo is also one of KTM’s partners whose know-how helps make the X-BOW unique. KTM is also expanding this partnership from the motorcycle sector into the automobile sector. The X-BOW's powerful braking system consists of 305 mm discs at the front and 262 mm discs at the rear. The interaction of the vehicle’s light weight, ideal balance, low centre of gravity and a 17-/18-inch tyre mix results in spectacular braking performance: when the brakes are warm, the KTM X-BOW needs only 32.9 metres to decelerate from 100 kmh to a standstill.
