Overview

Introducing the 2011 KTM 300 EXC SIXDAYS: The Off-Road Champion The 2011 KTM 300 EXC SIXDAYS is a true contender in the enduro-offroad category, designed for riders who demand performance and reliability in the most challenging terrains. A celebration of KTM's commitment to off-road racing, the SIXDAYS edition is inspired by the prestigious International Six Days Enduro (ISDE) competition. This motorcycle encapsulates the spirit of competition with its lightweight design, powerful engine, and advanced features, making it a popular choice among trail enthusiasts and professional racers alike. Engine Performance and Riding Characteristics At the heart of the 300 EXC SIXDAYS lies a robust 293.2 cc single-cylinder, two-stroke engine, meticulously designed to deliver an exhilarating riding experience. With a compression ratio of 12.8:1 and a bore and stroke of 72mm by 72mm, this machine offers a potent blend of power and responsiveness. The carbureted system, featuring the Keihin PWK 36 S AG, ensures optimal fuel delivery for crisp throttle response and impressive acceleration. Coupled with a 6-speed gearbox and a hydraulically operated wet double disk clutch, the 300 EXC SIXDAYS allows riders to seamlessly navigate through technical trails and steep inclines while maintaining control and precision. The liquid cooling system enhances performance during extended rides, ensuring that the engine remains at optimal operating temperatures even under strenuous conditions. Key Features and Technology The 2011 KTM 300 EXC SIXDAYS is not just about raw power; it’s equipped with an array of features that elevate the off-road experience. The central double-cradle-type frame, constructed from durable 25CrMo4 steel with an aluminum subframe, provides the perfect balance of strength and agility. The WP USD 48 mm front suspension and WP PDS rear shock absorber, both offering 185 mm of travel, ensure that the bike can absorb the roughest bumps while delivering superb handling. Safety is paramount, with powerful single disc brakes—260 mm at the front and 220 mm at the rear—offering reliable stopping power. Additionally, the combination of electric and kick-start options ensures that you’re always ready to ride, no matter the situation. Its striking orange, white, and black color scheme adds a dash of style to its rugged functionality, making it a head-turner on the trails. **

Pros

    Cons

    • Exceptional Power Delivery: The two-stroke engine provides an exhilarating ride with immediate throttle response, perfect for technical off-road conditions.
    • Lightweight Design: At just 102 kg (224.9 lbs), the bike's lightweight frame enhances maneuverability, allowing for easier handling on tricky terrains.
    • Advanced Suspension: High-quality WP suspension components ensure excellent handling and comfort over rough trails, giving riders confidence in their machine.
    • Seat Height: With a seat height of 985 mm (38.8 inches), this bike may be challenging for shorter riders to manage, particularly in tricky situations.
    • Fuel Capacity: The 9.5-liter (2.51-gallon) fuel tank may require frequent stops on longer rides, which could interrupt the flow of an adventure.
    • Two-Stroke Maintenance: As a two-stroke engine, the 300 EXC SIXDAYS may require more frequent maintenance compared to four-stroke counterparts, especially in terms of oil and fuel mixture.
