Most people who are knowledgeable about cars would assume that the KTM X-Bow is more at home on a fast track than it is trudging through the snowy Highlands of Scotland to see your mother-in-law at Christmas. But owning an X-Bow is no longer an excuse not to do the latter thanks to a new ‘Winter Package’ that will see you using the car whatever the weather.

The new pack offered by KTM’s Powerparts and PowerWear accessories collections starts with Pirelli Sottozero snow tyres and five-bolt wheels and for icy conditions snow chains are also available.

KTM’s next plan is to launch Power Wear which is specially designed winter clothing for the driver with Schöffel-designed driving clothes and a Schuberth helmet. The full outfit of helmet, jacket and trousers starts at 950 Euros.
