01. Prologue

SETTING THE SAG
ADJUSTABILITY

• Getting READY TO RACE has never been easier. The KTM XC-W range boasts a tool-free suspension setup at both ends. At the rear, our legendary, race-winning PDS technology features hand-adjustable dual compression controls, allowing 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.

DEEP BREATH
AIR FILTER BOX

• The air filter box is designed to ensure maximum airflow with minimal water intrusion. Precision in how the inlet ducts are positioned is 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 features a simple fail-proof mounting system for secure and accurate filter installation. All this ensures the air filter is easily accessed, without tools, for fast trail-side maintenance.

FULLY FUELED
FUEL TANK

• The transparent, polythene (XPE) fuel tank is a signature element of the KTM Enduro lineup. Having undergone thorough race testing in everything from the GNCC to the hardest of FIM hard enduros, these tanks are built, well, like tanks! A one-piece fuel pump and filter manage fuel supply, while servicing is made extra simple with easy fuel filter access. What's more, an updated fuel tank roll now holds the tank more firmly in place and protects the frame against scrubbing.

02. Benchmark lap

HARDENDURO EQUIPMENT
TOP-SHELF COMPONENTRY

• The KTM 300 XC-W HARDENDURO models receive the full hard enduro treatment. From the standard-fitted radiator fan to machined anodized triple clam, right down to a solid rear brake disc, with safety wire, each and every element on a HARDENDURO model is specifically chosen for the job at hand.

COOL HEADED
COOLING SYSTEM

• Keeping cool is made even easier, thanks to a new radiator closure with a standard thread opening. This makes it quicker and easier to open the radiator cap for top-ups. For additional cooling, a radiator fan is fitted as standard equipment.

SMARTER ELECTRONICS
OFFROAD CONTROL UNIT

• An Offroad Control Unit - or OCU - under the seat replaces all the electronic fuses and relays. All outputs are switched depending on signals from the voltage regulator and the ECU continuously. In the event of over-current, outputs are deactivated individually. This makes for easy error detection as the status of each output is indicated by a red or green LED light. This means diagnosing an electrical issue out on the trail is as easy as lifting the seat, and there's no more need to carry fiddly fuses.

03. On the charge

UNFLAPPABLE FRONT END WP XACT CLOSED-CARTIDGE FORK

• The proven 48 mm WP XACT Closed Cartridge fork has been updated with shorter, lighter main springs with a polished surface, which improves durability and reduces weight by 200 grams. This means these forks ensure unmatched performance at every level. But, best of all, the fork allows for full adjustment of compression and rebound without the need for any tools.

GET THE POWER DOWN WP XACT SHOCK

• Remaining a hallmark of KTM Enduro weaponry, a PDS rear shock concept improves the anti-squat behaviors of the chassis. This remains the most reliable and maintenance-friendly option for competitive enduro racing. Moreover, a lightweight WP XPLOR PDS rear shock takes charge at the rear. The rear shock received updated settings, resulting in improved pressure balance within the shock.

With consistent damping, as well as full adjustability thanks to easy-to-use hand clickers for adjustments on the fly, it remains the setup to beat.

WHERE RUBBER MEETS DIRT
WHEELS AND TIRES

• The KTM 300 XC-W HARDENDURO rolls on a full-factory wheelset made up of high-strength black alloy wheels coupled to orange-anodized CNC-machined hubs, black spokes, and orange aluminum nipples. These are wrapped in a set of ultra-grippy Dunlop AT 82 tires providing exceptional traction in all conditions.

04. Keeping you going

HOLD THE LINE
STABILITY

• The KTM XC-W range remains rock-solid at any speed thanks to a repositioned and forged steering head connection and CNC-milled triple clamps. Made from high-grade aluminum, these feature optimally tuned steering stem stiffness, perfect alignment of the for tubes, and precise geometry of the fork clamps to ensure highly responsive and smooth fork action - not to mention unwavering stability for those ultra-fast flat-out special stages.

SEE INTO THE FUTURE
SEAT

• Swing your leg over the KTM 300 XC-W HARDENDURO and you're met with a diamante Facotry seat, wrapped in a back seat cover with transversely stitched ribs, and protected by a water-resistant coating, you can be assured of maximum grip alt all times, with unrestricted freedom of movement when you need it.
