The new two-seat off-road UTV gets all-wheel drive, rally-inspired suspension and a limited Black Edition with 330 hp.
KTM X-Bow has unveiled the Arrow, its first side-by-side off-road vehicle. The new two-seater UTV marks the Austrian brand’s entry into the off-road segment. It combines a Volkswagen Group-sourced turbo-petrol engine with rally-inspired hardware.
The company will open bookings on November 17 through its dealer network and website. Customer deliveries are expected to begin in late 2027.
KTM X-Bow Arrow: Development
The Arrow project was initiated by KTM X-Bow owner and Belgian rally driver Guillaume de Mevius. He finished second in the 2024 Dakar Rally. His G Rally Team, founded in 2018, supported the vehicle’s testing and development. The team is now known as the KTM X-Bow Lab Team. Dutch rally-raid driver Puck Klaassen also contributed as a test driver.
KTM X-Bow Arrow: Engine and Performance
The Arrow uses Volkswagen Group’s 2.0-litre, four-cylinder EA888 turbo-petrol engine. It features direct fuel injection and comes paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox.

KTM X-Bow Arrow: Chassis and Suspension

Its shock absorbers were developed with KW Reiger. KTM is targeting more than 600 mm of suspension travel. The vehicle also features front and rear limited-slip differentials. These help improve traction on loose surfaces.
