Here's a dirty little secret: Nearly everyone on staff at DirtHammer has owned a KTM or two over the years. The here-for-a-good-time-not-a-long-time brand from Austria knows how to tickle our fancies with light-weight bikes that make gobs of power. Suspension that's ready to rip right out of the box doesn't hurt, either. For years, we've wondered why the brand sat back and let the side-by-side market pass them by. Apparently those days are over. KTM just announced the X-Bow (pronounced Crossbow) Arrow.

In base trim, the Arrow turns out 290 horsepower from a 2.0-liter turbocharged Audi four-cylinder engine, and it gets that power to the ground through a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. Not enough grunt for you? KTM has you covered with the Arrow Black Limited Edition, which gives you an extra 40 horsepower, an additional drive mode, electronic suspension, and a few other goodies.

Both machines come with around 24 inches of wheel travel front and rear, along with selectable two- and four-wheel drive and locking front and rear differentials. It all sounds like a party, but neither car is going to come cheap. KTM says the Arrow will start at around $60,000 while the Gucci Limited Edition model will ring the register closer to $99,000. If you want the latter, you better move quickly. KTM says it will only produce 500 units.

If that wasn't enough excellent off-road news for your Tuesday, Toyota let us know the Scion brand is coming back with a Kei truck for the U.S. market. Kei trucks are those tiny Japanese-market pickups you see running around built to satisfy Japan's notoriously strict displacement laws. The Scion KEI-01 will come with a 660cc engine, a CVT gearbox, four-wheel drive, and will initially be targeted towards fleet sales. Sounds like DirtHammer needs a fleet.

The KEI-01 very much comes from the function over form school of design, with fold-down bedsides, a 600-pound bed capacity, and a tiny footprint. This thing is just 11 feet long and five feet wide. For comparison, a Toyota Corolla is four feet longer and nearly a foot wider. Look for the KEI-01 to show up on dealer lots in late 2027.
