Overview

### 2004 KTM 300 EXC: A Trailblazer in Enduro Performance The 2004 KTM 300 EXC stands as a revered name in the world of enduro motorcycles, embodying the brand's commitment to performance and durability. Designed specifically for off-road enthusiasts, this bike melds advanced engineering with rugged styling, making it a favorite among riders who crave power and agility on challenging terrains. With its striking orange color and aggressive stance, the 300 EXC not only delivers in performance but also makes a bold statement on the trails. At the heart of the 300 EXC is a robust 293 cc single-cylinder, two-stroke engine, offering a thrilling combination of torque and speed. With a compression ratio of 11.0:1 and a liquid-cooling system, this machine is engineered for responsiveness and efficiency. Riders can expect an exhilarating experience as the 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive work in harmony to propel the bike through technical sections and open trails alike. The bike's lightweight design, at just 105.2 kg (231.9 pounds), enhances agility, enabling riders to navigate obstacles with confidence, while the 385 mm ground clearance ensures that even the roughest terrains are easily conquered. KTM has equipped the 300 EXC with advanced features that cater to the needs of serious off-road riders. The chassis is constructed from chromium molybdenum, providing an ideal balance of strength and flexibility. The WP-USD 48 MA front suspension and WP-PDS shock absorber at the rear offer superior handling and stability, allowing for precise control over uneven surfaces. Stopping power is delivered by a single disc brake system, with a 216 mm (8.5 inches) front and a 260 mm (10.2 inches) rear disc, ensuring riders can halt with confidence even in the most demanding conditions. With a fuel capacity of 9 liters (2.38 gallons), this bike is ready for extended rides, making it an excellent companion for enduro adventures. ####
