2012 KTM 300 EXC
Your two-stroke machine is a real torque-wonder with unbelievable power that makes light of the bikes low weight. Together with the redesigned airbox and flow-optimised intake flange between airbox and carburettor, the new cylinder with low valve timing ensures even better charging with fresh gas. The understandable technology of the two-stroke engine has indisputable advantages, including a high power/displacement ratio and low weight. Unrivalled performance and playful handling are the results.
The sensitive responsiveness and outstanding damping of the open-cartridge fork with 48 mm (1.89 in) outer tubes are a perfect complement for the 300 EXCs playful handling and precision. Practically unbeatable in terms of weight and stability, the new wheels have CNC-machined hubs, Excel rims, zinc/nickel-coated spokes and aluminium nipples.
