2027 KTM X-Bow Arrow: A New Era of High-Performance Off-Roading
The 2027 KTM X-Bow Arrow marks an exciting new chapter for the Austrian performance brand as it enters the high-performance side-by-side UTV market. Inspired by KTM’s Dakar Rally heritage and track-focused engineering, this two-seat off-road machine brings automotive performance to the UTV segment.
Unlike traditional side-by-side vehicles that rely on CVT transmissions, the X-Bow Arrow features an Audi-sourced 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch DSG transmission and selectable all-wheel drive. The standard model produces an impressive 280 horsepower and comes equipped with 32-inch off-road tires.
For drivers seeking even more performance, the exclusive KTM X-Bow Arrow Black Limited Edition takes things further. Limited to just 500 individually numbered units worldwide, this upgraded version delivers 330 horsepower and features larger 35-inch tires mounted on beadlock wheels.
Underneath, the 2027 X-Bow Arrow is built around a rugged tubular steel chassis designed to handle demanding off-road conditions. With nearly 24 inches of suspension travel and 16.9 inches of ground clearance, it is engineered to tackle desert dunes, rocky trails, and high-speed terrain with confidence and control.
The cabin combines motorsport-inspired design with modern technology. Standard equipment includes Sabelt racing seats and dual 10-inch digital displays. The Black Limited Edition adds a fully enclosed carbon-fiber cabin and factory-installed air conditioning, bringing an additional level of comfort to this performance-focused off-road vehicle.
The 2027 KTM X-Bow Arrow starts at $59,800, while the Black Limited Edition carries a starting price of $98,600. Reservations are scheduled to open on November 17, 2026, with the first customer deliveries expected in late 2027.
With its turbocharged engine, dual-clutch transmission, advanced off-road capabilities, and limited-edition performance upgrades, the KTM X-Bow Arrow aims to bring a different level of power and engineering to the high-performance UTV market.
