2024 KTM 300 XC-W HARDENDURO Dirt Motorcycle – Features and Price

Adjustability

READY TO RACE has never been easier. The all-new suspension is fully tool-free at both ends of the 2024 KTM 300 XC-W HARDENDURO Dirt Motorcycle. With hand-adjustable settings, our legendary, race-winning PDS technology on the rear features all-new shock absorber Design Dual Compression Controls. This allows riders to adjust high- and low-speed settings in seconds.

At the front, the forks are also easily adjustable thanks to the hand-adjustable clickers at the bottom of the fork shoe and on the fork top cover, making on-the-fly adjustments as easy as turning the accelerator pedal.

Air filter box

For maximum airflow with minimal water penetration, the new air filter box features precisely positioned inlet ducts to prevent air deformation and protect the filter. An enduro-specific spray protection under the air box prevents water or dirt from being injected from the rear wheel. In contrast, the Twin Air filter and air filter support design provides a simple, fail-proof installation system for safe, accurate filter installation, making it easy to access the air filters without tools for fast track-side maintenance.

Fuel Tank

The transparent polythene (XPE) fuel tank is a signature element of the KTM Enduro lineup. This lets you monitor your fuel level at a glance, and years of development have made it the strongest, most reliable fuel tank yet. A one-piece fuel pump and filter improves fuel supply, and the tank empties more slowly at low fuel levels on the 2024 model. With 2.37 gallons (9 litres) of fuel, you can take on the road or track with utmost confidence better than 2023 KTM 300 XC-W.

Graphics

The new 2024 KTM 300 XC-W HARDENDURO Dirt Motorcycle celebrates the toughest races on planet Earth and boasts a loud and proud set of graphics. With a gritty, structured tone, triggered by brilliant orange bodywork, seat cover and frame, it is immediately recognisable.

Engine

The new 300cc 2-stroke engine not only adds a new option to the E3 Enduro category but also delivers what Enduro riders want: maximum power and torque at minimum weight. That’s why the KTM 300 XC-W engine sets the standard in the world’s competitive Enduro E3 class and in tough enduro races.

Throttle Body Injection

The 2024 KTM 2-stroke Enduro features all-new electronically controlled Throttle Body Injection (TBI). Together with a new Keihin 39mm throttle body, the ECU calculates the ideal air-fuel mixture by constantly analysing water temperature, air temperature, ambient pressure, crankcase pressure, speed, and throttle position to ensure the smoothest, most consistent power output in bright enduro conditions.

Power valve

The reed valve case has received a key design update for 2024, combined with an electronic exhaust system. New plastic flaps on the outside reed valve case improve the seal of the entire intake system and prevent excessive fueling in extreme up or down sections, which might lead to rich engine settings.

Offroad Control Unit

An all-new off-road Control Unit or OCU replaces all electronic fuses and relays underneath the seat. Depending on the voltage regulator and the ECU signal, all outputs are continuously switched. When the input current exceeds the limit, the outputs deactivate individually. This allows easy error detection, as each output status is displayed with a red or green LED. This means diagnosing an electrical problem on the trail is as easy as lifting the seat, and you no longer need to carry fiddly fuses.

Selectable Engine Maps

Designed for ease of use, the newly developed map-select switch is standard on the 2024 KTM 300 XC-W HARDENDURO Dirt Motorcycle and offers a simple choice of 2 unique engine maps. Map 1 represents a standard, more linear and predictable strength map. Map 2 provides a more aggressive map with additional throttle response and crisper, more explosive energy.

Battery & Wiring Harness

The new 2024 KTM 300 XC-W HARDENDURO Dirt Motorcycle has a proven, reliable electrical starting system just like the rest of the 2024 2-stroke EXC series. Powered by an ultra-light 2 Ah lithium-ion starter battery, it delivers a safe, reliable start time after time. At the same time, the wiring harness keeps most electrical components carefully positioned below the seat for easy access.

Ergonomics

The new 2024 KTM 300 XC-W HARDENDURO Dirt Motorcycle features a rider-focused body-position triangle for better knee contact, particularly when standing on the pegs, with enhanced grip surfaces throughout. It features plastics that shed mud in wet, muddy conditions, a flat seating profile with a high-grip seat cover that offers exceptional rider movement and control, and a polyamide-reinforced aluminium subframe that delivers unparalleled rider feel. Feedback: your only concern is navigating your terrain.

Exhaust

Bringing the Braaap! Thanks to the compact KTM 300 XC-W HARDENDURO® engine design, the head tube is designed to increase ground clearance and reduce the risk of damage when riding through deep roots, poles, or steep rocks. The silencer is made of lightweight aluminium, saves weight and offers the signature low-down 2-stroke burble for this rock-hopping hero.

Top-shelf Componentry

The new 2024 KTM 300 XC-W HARDENDURO Dirt Motorcycle gets full hard enduro treatment. From standard-fitted radiator fans to processed orange anodised triple clamps to a solid rear brake disc, each element of the KTM 300 XC-W HARDENDURO is selected for its specific job.

Frame

The new 2024 KTM 300 XC-W HARDENDURO Dirt Motorcycle, developed specifically for longitudinal rigidity, is built around an all-new gloss orange powder-coated frame that delivers exceptional rider feedback, energy absorption, and high-speed stability. This is achieved by repositioning the frame’s rotating masses and incorporating a forged steering head connection.

The footrest mounts have also been slimmed down to reduce the risk of contact when riding narrow singletracks or charging through rock gardens. And when the ride ends, a completely renewed forged side-support for a piece will make your enduro weapon proud. The protectors for the all-new orange-and-black factory frame and the sliding composite plate complete the package.

Subframe

The new ultralight subframe can be acquired with the handle, featuring a 2-part polyamide and reinforced aluminium construction on the backside of the main frame. Its computational dynamics were used to design the subframe for a specific rigidity, providing excellent handling and rider feedback. The new subframe is also shorter, more compact, and more robust than the previous generation, allowing it to flex and bend instead of break in a crash. The subframe fully integrates the electronic components, with no additional brackets, holders, or unnecessary fixations.

Wheels and Tires

The new 2024 KTM 300 XC-W HARDENDURO Dirt Motorcycle rolls on a full factory wheelset of high-strength black D.I.D alloy wheels, paired with orange anodised CNC-treated hubs, black spokes, and orange aluminium nipples. These are packaged with a set of ultra-grippy Dunlop MX33 front and Dunlop AT81 rear tyres, providing exceptional traction in all conditions.

Handlebars

Equipped with CNC-machined triple clamps, the driver’s handlebar on the new 2024 KTM 300 XC-W HARDENDURO Dirt Motorcycle features a newly designed cap and ODI milder grey grips for ultimate control. A series of wrap-around handguards provides greater protection against obstacles on your path.

Brakes

The 2024 KTM 300 XC-W HARDENDURO Dirt Motorcycle’s rear braking comes from a floating front brake disc and a solid rear brake disc. It not only extends pad life and improves heat dissipation; it also offers safety right from the factory. Both ends also feature standard brake protection, with a front brake disc composite bracket and an orange anodised rear disc guard aStability

The new 2024 KTM 300 XC-W HARDENDURO Dirt Motorcycle retains a rock-solid feel thanks to a newly positioned, forged headband connection and orange anodised, CNC-machined triple clamps. Made of high-grade aluminium, these are provided with optimally tuned handlebar rigidity, perfect alignment of the fork tubes, and precision geometry of the fork clamps to ensure highly responsive and smooth fork movement and not forget unwinding stability for those ultra-fast flat special stages.

Newly designed, topology-optimised rubber bar mountings improve grip and reduce handlebar twist. They come with a fixed assembly, which provides the perfect amount of flex for the forged triple clamp setup.

LED headlight

Illuminating the way ahead, the 2024 KTM 300 XC-W HARDENDURO Dirt Motorcycle features a brand-new LED headlight unit and light mask. The mask improves triple clamp protection against Roost and eliminates rubber mounting straps for a better fit. Most importantly, the LED lighting unit provides 300% more light, making riding in the dark a totally new experience.
