2014 KTM 300 XC-W

BETTER THAN EVER!

The 300 XC-W has clearly proven what it can do in many offroad competitions. The combination of massive 2-stroke performance, unrivaled torque and a super agile chassis make it the first choice when the going gets really difficult. There is no better power-to-weight ratio on the market in a standard bike. The compact 2-stroke engine offers the strongest performance money can currently buy. A perfectly tuned exhaust control ensures a manageable power delivery, while the 6-speed gearbox, especially geared for enduros, has always the right gear ratio on offer. With its enhanced cylinder head and new reed valve, the new 300 XC-W is better than ever.

Features May Include:
  • ELECTRIC STARTER

The KTM 300 XC-W is equipped with both kick and electric starter and includes a stronger (4 Ah) battery which simplifies starting the bike in all situations. With its patented placement in a longitudinal direction above the ignition, the compact starter system is highly protected and provides a decisive advantage in hard offroad use.

  • OPTIMIZED ENGINE

The engine has a redesigned reed valve housing featuring Boyesen high-performance reeds that aid performance and responsiveness. The ignition curve and cylinder head have been optimized and the carburetor setting adjusted to make the 300 XC-W a joy to ride on any terrain.

  • CYLINDER HEAD

New cylinder head with optimized combustion chamber offers more efficient combustion, better response especially under partial load, better power delivery and optimized rideability.

  • FRAME

The modern and lightweight frame design made of high-strength chromoly steel sections combines maximum longitudinal stiffness with optimum torsional ridgy. It guarantees easy handling and precise cornering, but also outstanding stability.

  • SWINGARM

Designed using the latest in calculation and simulation software, the design and wall thickness of the cast aluminum swingarm have been optimized for minimum weight at optimum stiffness and precisely defined flexibility. For 2014, the engineers have revised the chain guide to increase reliability while lowering the weight.

  • TRIPLE CLAMPS

The lower triple clamp has been redesigned for optimum accommodation of the new front fender. Thanks to its new contour and mounting with two front and two bottom bolts, the new fender has a lot more stability.

  • SUPERIOR SUSPENSION SETTINGS

The first rate WP Suspension elements have been further improved for 2014. Specially designed for enduro riding and in some models with an optimized tuning, they ensure maximum traction and plenty of comforts. Of course, compression and rebound damping can be adjusted to the track conditions and the rider's preferences with a twist of the wrist - the rear monoshock has separate high and low speed adjustments.

  • WHEELS

High-quality, CNC-machined hubs are standard on all KTM wheels. The now black coated spokes increase corrosion resistance and center the new, extremely stable, 7050 aluminum rims from GIANT. Dunlop GEOMAX MX51 tires - provide excellent traction, very precise directional control and a long service life.

  • BODYWORK

Shrouds, airbox cover, front fender, headlight fairing and the headlight have all been restyled for 2014. The KTM designer's focus was to achieve complete ergonomic harmony between rider and bike for a more stable ride and effortless movement on the bike. Adding to the improvements is a high-quality seat foam core to maximize comfort and durability. With the new front fender, the designers omitted ribbing on the inside to reduce mud and dirt buildup while increasing rigidity over the previous component by 50%.
