KTM X-Bow Arrow side-by-side UTV, Digi Mart USA News: KTM is entering the American side-by-side market with the X-Bow Arrow, a turbocharged rally-raid buggy developed from its track-focused X-Bow branch. According to a New Atlas report, order books are opening across the United States, with prices starting at US$59,800.
The Arrow is built on a tubular chromoly-steel chassis developed with Belgian rally driver Guillaume de Mévius and KTM X-Bow engineers. It uses double-wishbone suspension with KW Reiger dampers, providing 24 inches of suspension travel for rough backcountry terrain.
Power comes from a mid-mounted 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine sourced from Audi’s TFSI family, which the report says is also used in the TTS sports coupe. The standard Arrow produces 280 hp, while the limited Black Edition, with 500 numbered units worldwide, is tuned to 330 hp.
Drive is sent to all four wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch DSG automatic with limited-slip differentials front and rear.
The vehicle rides on 35-inch Maxxis RAZR XT beadlock tyres. The enclosed cockpit includes Sabelt racing seats, a digital instrument display, a central touchscreen with smartphone telemetry, and factory-installed air conditioning, along with an analog hydraulic handbrake for rally-style driving.
The report notes that the Black Edition costs up to $98,600, making the Arrow more expensive than rival machines, including a top-spec Polaris RZR Pro R Ultimate listed at $47,999. The source describes the Arrow as a capable but expensive off-road vehicle aimed at rough American trails.
