2026 KTM 300 EXC BUILT FOR THE HARD STUFF

There’s a reason the KTM 300 EXC has become synonymous with hard enduro. The 2026 model takes the legendary 300 two-stroke formula and delivers the kind of performance that shines when the trails get steep, rocky, slippery and seriously technical.

At the heart of the bike is KTM’s 293.2cc fuel-injected two-stroke, combining explosive response with impressive low-down torque. The result is an engine that can lug through technical sections, claw its way up steep climbs and still deliver serious top-end when the trail opens up.

That’s the real world magic of the 300 EXC: you don't have to ride it like a motocross bike to be fast. Keep the momentum, use the torque and let the lightweight chassis work underneath you. In tight singletrack, rocky creek beds and technical climbs, that combination can make the difference between fighting the trail and flowing through it.

RACE-BRED HARDWARE

This is no soft trail bike dressed in orange. The 300 EXC is built around KTM's competition-focused enduro platform, featuring WP XACT suspension, 300mm of front travel and 310mm at the rear, along with Brembo braking and hydraulic clutch hardware.

The adjustable suspension gives riders the ability to tune the bike to their weight, riding style and terrain, while the lightweight two-stroke engine keeps the overall package agile and responsive.

PREPARED FOR THE HARD TRAILS

For riders who intend to take their 300 EXC into seriously challenging terrain, preparation is everything.

The right setup can transform the way the bike behaves. Suspension settings should be matched to the rider and terrain, while controls, protection, tyres and key fasteners deserve particular attention before the bike is subjected to rocks, logs, creek crossings and brutal hill climbs.

The goal is simple: better control, better protection and a bike that works with you when the trail gets nasty.

REAL-WORLD 300 EXC PERFORMANCE

Rocky climbs? The 300's strong torque helps maintain momentum without constantly revving the engine.

Tight singletrack? The lightweight two-stroke character makes direction changes quick and effortless.

Roots, ruts and slippery terrain? Precise throttle control gives you the ability to search for traction rather than simply overpowering the trail.

Fast open sections? Twist the throttle and the 300 has the punch and top-end to get seriously exciting.

That's what makes the 300 EXC such a formidable all-round enduro weapon — tractable when you need finesse, aggressive when you want it, and agile everywhere in between.
