2018 KTM 300 XC-W Six Days Base

2018 KTM 300 XC-W Six Days

KTM has ruled off-road for decades. The special edition Six Days models celebrate this success with special performance upgrades and top-of-the-line components. In 2017 the ISDE (International Six Days of Enduro) will be held in Brive-la-Gaillarde, France and the KTM model line-up has been suitably equipped to handle anything the muddy and rocky terrain can throw at it.

• ENGINE & EXHAUST

The engine of the KTM 300 XC-W has been known and respected for being the most powerful 2-stroke engine in its class. 2-strokes really do have a future at KTM. Their outstanding power-to-weight ratio, low cost and simplicity see to that. The KTM 300 XC-W engine has been optimized for mass centralization, comes with a twin-valve controlled power valve, a balancer shaft for less engine vibrations, a 6-speed transmission and a hydraulically operated DDS clutch. This compact powerplant lays down the law in terms of 2-stroke power and torque and is the right choice for lovers of low purchase and maintenance costs. Oh, and of course don’t forget that 2-stroke symphony when you’re on the pipe.

• CHASSIS

KTM engineers just love dropping weight year after year. The result: the 2018 KTM XC-W models are the slimmest, lightest dirt bikes out there.

• ERGONOMICS & COMFORT

READY TO RACE ergonomics give you the edge on all terrain, ride harder for longer.

• BODYWORK & GRAPHICS

KTM R&D, KISKA Design and the factory racers all had their say in shaping the plastics with one goal: complete harmony between rider and bike. Perfect ergonomics and contact points provide maximum comfort in movement on the XC-W. The I-beam structures of the front and rear fenders guarantee maximum stability and a low weight thanks to well thought-out construction and mounting. They also stay cleaner for longer. Clever brake hose routing on the front number plate prevents wear and tear.
