Overview

Introducing the 2016 KTM 300 EXC Six Days, a motorcycle that embodies the spirit of off-road adventure and performance. Designed specifically for enduro and off-road enthusiasts, this bike is a limited-edition model celebrating KTM's participation in the International Six Days Enduro (ISDE) event. With its striking orange, white, blue, and red color options, the 300 EXC Six Days stands out not just in aesthetics but also in its robust engineering. It targets riders who demand uncompromising performance in challenging terrains, making it a top choice for both competitive racers and weekend warriors alike. At the heart of the 300 EXC Six Days lies a formidable 293cc single-cylinder, two-stroke engine that provides exhilarating power and responsiveness. The engine is designed with a bore and stroke of 72.0 x 72.0 mm, delivering smooth acceleration and a thrilling ride. Featuring a fully electronic ignition system with digital timing adjustments, the bike ensures reliable starts and optimal power delivery across various conditions. The 6-speed gearbox paired with a wet, DDS multi-disc clutch, allows for seamless gear changes, enabling riders to tackle steep climbs and sharp descents effortlessly. The liquid cooling system keeps the engine temperature in check, ensuring consistent performance even during extended rides. KTM has equipped the 300 EXC Six Days with advanced features that enhance both control and comfort. Its chrome-molybdenum steel central-tube frame provides exceptional rigidity while remaining lightweight at just 102.1 kg (225.1 pounds). This weight, combined with a generous ground clearance of 355 mm and a seat height adjustable to 960 mm, allows for nimble maneuverability through tight trails and rocky paths. The suspension system, featuring a WP USD front fork with 300 mm of travel and a WP PDS rear shock with 335 mm, absorbs bumps and irregularities, providing a smooth ride that inspires confidence. Safety is paramount, and the bike is outfitted with powerful front and rear disc brakes that ensure superior stopping power, even in the trickiest situations. **

Pros

  • Exceptional Power-to-Weight Ratio: The lightweight construction combined with the powerful two-stroke engine makes for an agile and responsive riding experience.
  • Advanced Suspension Setup: With impressive front and rear suspension travel, the bike handles rough terrain with ease, providing a smooth ride over obstacles.
  • Versatile Starting Options: The combination of electric and kick start ensures reliable starts in varied conditions, catering to different rider preferences.

Cons

  • Height and Weight Considerations: The relatively high seat height and weight may not be suitable for shorter or less experienced riders, potentially limiting accessibility.
  • Fuel Consumption: As a two-stroke engine, it may require more frequent refueling, especially during extended rides or competitive use.
  • Maintenance Needs: Two-stroke engines typically require more frequent maintenance and tuning to keep them running at peak performance, which may be a consideration for less experienced riders.
