With its striking orange, white, and purple color options, the 300 XC not only stands out visually but also embodies the racing heritage and innovation that KTM is renowned for. At the heart of the KTM 300 XC lies a potent 293.2 cc engine, delivering a thrilling ride that is sure to excite riders of all skill levels. With a square bore and stroke of 72.0 mm and a sophisticated fuel injection system, the engine provides linear power delivery and exceptional throttle response.

Its central double-cradle-type frame, constructed from 25CrMo4 steel, offers unmatched stability and strength while maintaining a lightweight profile of just 100.1 kg (220.7 pounds). The WP XACT suspension system—featuring a 48 mm front fork and a rear monoshock with linkage—provides an impressive 300 mm of front travel and 310 mm of rear travel, ensuring exceptional comfort and control over rough terrain. Additionally, the Brembo hydraulics in the wet multi-disc clutch allow for precise modulation and engagement, adding to the overall rideability of this enduro machine. **
