After purchasing my 2017 KTM 250 EXC-F, I took the initiative to update its graphics to reflect a more contemporary aesthetic. Drawing inspiration from the sleek designs of the 2023-2024 KTM SX and XC bike lines, I meticulously crafted custom CTG decals tailored to my bike. By blending elements from these current models with my own artistic vision, I successfully infused my 2017 model with a fresh, modern look.
To ensure authenticity and alignment with Kiska/KTM's design ethos, I curated a mood board featuring graphics from 2010-2024 KTM models. Deciding which elements I felt were successful vs ones that have since faded away in terms of trends. This enabled me to select elements that resonated with KTM's design language while maintaining a cohesive and updated appearance for my bike.
