2024 KTM 300 XC-W HARDENDURO - 16047U

2024 KTM 300 XC-W Hardenduro

BUILT TO BEAT THE BEST

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.

01. Prologue

SETTING THE SAG
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.

DEEP BREATH
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.

02. Benchmark lap

TORQUE ABOUT IT
ENGINE
Let's start with the numbers; 49 hp, 43,8 Nm and 24.6 kg. 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 EXC engine sets the benchmark in the competitive Enduro E3 class and in hard enduro races all over the world.

FUELING SPEED
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.

03. On the charge

BUILT TO BE THE BACKBONE
FRAME
Specifically engineered for longitudinal rigidity, the KTM 300 XC-W HARDENDURO is engineered around an all-new gloss-orange powder-coated frame providing exceptional rider feedback, energy absorption, and high-speed stability. This has been achieved by repositioning the rotating masses in the frame and the inclusion of a forged steering head connection. The footrest mounts have also moved inwards, slimming things down for less risk of hooking up when tackling narrow single tracks, or charging through rock gardens. And when the ride comes to an end, a completely redesigned forged one-piece side stand ensures your enduro weapon stands proud. All-new orange and black factory frame protectors and a composite skid plate completes the package.

MORE THAN A SUBFRAME
SUBFRAME
A new ultra-light subframe takes charge at the rear of the main frame, featuring a 2-part polyamide and reinforced aluminum construction. With the help of computational dynamics, a specific rigidity was engineered into the subframe, to deliver outstanding handling and rider feedback. The new subframe is also shorter, more compact, and more robust than the previous generation, with the ability to bend and flex in the event of a crash, rather than break. The subframe fully integrates the electronic components, without any extra need for brackets, holders, or unnecessary fixtures.

04. Keeping you going

HOLD THE LINE
STABILITY
The KTM 300 XC-W HARDENDURO remains rock-solid at speed thanks to a repositioned and forged steering head connection and orange anodized CNC-milled triple clamps. Made from high-grade aluminum, these feature optimally tuned steering stem stiffness, perfect alignment of the fork 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. Newly designed, topology-optimized rubber-mounted bar mounts provide an increased grip surface for less handlebar twist. They come with a fixed mounting, providing the perfect amount of flex for the forged triple clamp setup.

SEE INTO THE FUTURE
Swing your leg over the KTM 300 XC-W HARDENDURO and you're met with a custom-designed seat. Wrapped in a brilliant orange 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.
