Overview

### 2017 KTM 300 EXC Six Days: The Ultimate Enduro Companion The 2017 KTM 300 EXC Six Days is a motorcycle that embodies the spirit of competitive off-road riding, making it a standout choice for enthusiasts and racers alike. Designed for the rigors of enduro racing, this bike not only showcases KTM's commitment to performance but also pays homage to the iconic Six Days International Enduro event. As part of KTM's prestigious lineup, the 300 EXC Six Days is engineered to conquer challenging terrains while delivering exceptional handling and reliability, making it a perfect fit for both seasoned competitors and adventurous riders. At the heart of the 300 EXC is a robust 293cc single-cylinder, two-stroke engine that offers a thrilling blend of power and agility. With a bore and stroke of 72.0 mm each, this engine delivers a strong torque curve, allowing for impressive acceleration and responsiveness on the trails. The liquid-cooling system ensures optimal performance even in the most demanding conditions, while the fully electronic ignition system, equipped with digital timing adjustments, guarantees precise and reliable firing. Coupled with a smooth 6-speed gearbox and a wet, multi-disc clutch, riders can easily navigate through tight trails and steep inclines with confidence. KTM has outfitted the 300 EXC Six Days with cutting-edge features that enhance its off-road capabilities. The chrome-molybdenum steel central-tube frame offers exceptional strength and rigidity, contributing to the bike's lightweight design of just 100.5 kg (221.6 pounds). The advanced WP-USD Xplor 48 front suspension, with 300 mm of travel, combined with the WP Xplor PDS rear shock absorber providing an additional 310 mm of travel, ensures that riders can tackle rough terrains with ease. Safety and control are paramount, and the bike features a well-designed braking system with single discs on both the front (260 mm) and rear (220 mm), allowing for confident stopping power in unpredictable conditions. The 9.5-liter fuel capacity provides ample range for long rides, while the electric and kick-start options ensure you're never left stranded. **

Pros

  • Exceptional Power-to-Weight Ratio: The lightweight design and powerful engine make it agile and responsive, perfect for tackling tough trails.
  • Advanced Suspension Systems: The WP suspension components provide excellent handling and comfort, soaking up bumps and obstacles effortlessly.
  • Versatile Ignition System: The fully electronic ignition allows for precise tuning and reliable starts, whether using the electric or kick-start method.

Cons

  • Heightened Seat Height: At 960 mm (37.8 inches), the seat height may be challenging for shorter riders, potentially hindering confidence in technical situations.
  • Limited Fuel Capacity: While 9.5 liters is adequate for many rides, longer excursions may require additional fuel management.
  • Two-Stroke Characteristics: The two-stroke engine, while offering exhilarating performance, may require more frequent maintenance compared to four-stroke counterparts, especially for novice riders.
