Overview
Introducing the 2023 KTM 300 XC-W Erzbergrodeo, a meticulously engineered enduro-offroad motorcycle that embodies the spirit of adventure and competition. Tailored for both serious racers and passionate trail riders, this special edition bike pays homage to one of the most grueling extreme enduro races in the world—the Erzbergrodeo. With its striking orange, white, and grey color scheme, the 300 XC-W not only stands out aesthetically but also signifies KTM's commitment to durability and performance in the off-road segment. At the heart of the KTM 300 XC-W Erzbergrodeo lies a robust 293.2 cc engine, offering an exhilarating blend of power and precision.

The chassis of the 300 XC-W is designed for exceptional handling and stability. The central double-cradle frame, constructed from 25CrMo4 steel, provides a lightweight yet sturdy foundation. With a front WP XPLOR-USD suspension offering 300 mm of travel and a rear WP Xplor PDS shock absorber with 310 mm of travel, riders can navigate obstacles with confidence and comfort. The bike’s generous ground clearance of 370 mm paired with a low seat height of 950 mm (adjustable) makes it accessible for both seasoned riders and newcomers alike. The electric start adds convenience, ensuring that you’re always ready to hit the trails at a moment's notice. **
