This first-generation KTM X-Bow covers the Speedster body: an open, lightweight sports car with almost no weather protection. You sit low and close to the road, in a cockpit aimed at driving rather than comfort.
The KTM X-Bow engine in the 2.0 MT Speedster example is a 2.0-liter gasoline unit with a manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. You shift yourself, and the drivetrain sends power only to the rear wheels—a simple, focused powertrain rather than the only layout in this generation.
