AUDI CONNECTION
The Black Limited Edition uses the same Audi-sourced EA888 Evo4 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder as the standard Arrow. KTM quotes 280 hp for the standard model and targets up to 330 hp for the limited edition. The turbo four recalls the original X-Bow, which debuted at the 2007 Geneva Motor Show with Audi 2.0 TFSI power.
OVERVIEW
KTM X-Bow unveiled the Black Limited Edition alongside the standard Arrow as the launch version of its first side-by-side. It received a separate reservation window and a worldwide allocation of 500 numbered vehicles. Its indicative U.S. starting price of $98,600 compares with $59,800 for the standard Arrow.
DESIGN & ENGINEERING
The Black Limited Edition adds standard air conditioning and a hydraulic fly-off handbrake to the Arrow’s enclosed cabin, which is fitted with Sabelt seats and harnesses. It shares the standard model’s chromoly steel chassis, double-wishbone suspension at all four corners and dampers developed with KW Reiger. KTM is targeting more than 600 mm (23.6 inches) of suspension travel for the platform.
SHARED DNA
The Arrow puts an Audi-supplied passenger-car engine into a drivetrain configured for off-road use, with a low-range DSG and limited-slip differentials at both axles. The layout differs from that of the road-going GT-XR, which pairs Audi’s 2.5-liter turbocharged five-cylinder with rear-wheel drive.
KNOWN HISTORY
- November 10, 2026 – KTM X-Bow unveils the Arrow and Black Limited Edition.
- November 17, 2026 – Reservations are scheduled to open through KTM X-Bow’s website and dealer network.
- Late 2027 – First Arrow customer deliveries are planned.
SIGNIFICANCE
The Black Limited Edition is the first limited-production derivative of KTM X-Bow’s off-road platform. Its higher output target and hydraulic handbrake reflect the Arrow’s rally-raid development, while the enclosed, air-conditioned cabin shows how KTM adapted that brief for a customer side-by-side.
