Ready to set the pace, the KTM 300 XC-W HARDENDURO has rolled out of pitlane and onto the prologue startline. Based on the all-new KTM 300 XC-W, the KTM 300 XC-W HARDENDURO sets itself apart, bristling with an exclusive HARDENDURO package. Hardcore protection parts, pull-straps, CNC-machined components - not to mention hand-adjustable closed cartridge forks - and a totally unique graphics kit, makes this the ultimate READY TO RACE package for tackling the World's toughest championship.

Features may include:

PROLOGUE

• Adjustability

Getting READY TO RACE has never been easier. Thanks in part to its all-new suspension, the KTM 300 XC-W HARDENDURO range boasts totally tool-free suspension setup at both ends. At the rear, our legendary, race-winning PDS technology features an all-new shock absorber design with hand-adjustable dual compression controls. This allows riders to adjust high- and low-speed settings in a matter of seconds. On the front, the forks are also easily adjusted thanks to hand-adjustable clickers on the bottom of the fork shoe and on the fork top cap, making changing settings on the fly as easy as twisting the throttle.

• Air filter box

Maximum airflow with minimal water intrusion, a new air filter box is designed with precisely positioned inlet ducts aimed at preventing air deformation and maintaining filter protection. An enduro-specific splash protector under the airbox prevents water or dirt from splashing up from the rear wheel, while the Twin Air filter and air filter support design feature a simple fail-proof mounting system for safe and accurate filter installation, ensuring the air filter is easily accessed, without tools, for fast track-side maintenance.

BENCHMARK LAP

• Engine

This new 300cc 2-stroke powerplant not only brings a new choice into the E3 Enduro category, but remains the idea choice for Enduro riders wanting maximum power and torque at the least possible weight. Another reason why the KTM 300 XC-W engine sets the benchmark in the competitive Enduro E3 class and in hard enduro races all over the world.

• Throttle Body Injection

The 2024 KTM 2-stroke Enduro models feature all-new electronically-controlled Throttle Body Injection - or TBI. The ECU, together with a new Keihin 39mm throttle body, calculates the ideal air-fuel mixture by constantly analyzing water temperature, air temperature, ambient pressure, and pressure within the crankcase, the rpm, and the throttle position to ensure the smoothest and most consistent power delivery in the most gnarly of enduro conditions.
