Ready to set the pace, the KTM 300 EXC HARDENDURO has rolled out of pitlane and onto the prologue start line.
Based on the all-new KTM 300 EXC, the KTM 300 EXC 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.
HARDENDURO EQUIPMENT
THROTTLE BODY INJECTION
SELECTABLE ENGINE MAPS
OFFROAD CONTROL UNIT
TOP SHELF COMPONETARY
The KTM 300 EXC HARDENDURO models receive the full hard Enduro treatment. From the standard-fitted radiator fan to machined orange anodized triple clamp, right down to a solid rear brake disc each and every element on a KTM 300 EXC HARDENDURO is specifically chosen for the job at hand.
WP XACT SHOCK
Remaining a hallmark of KTM Enduro weaponry, an updated PDS rear shock concept sees a new shock mount that significantly improves the anti-squat behaviors of the chassis.
This remains the most reliable and maintenance-friendly option for competitive enduro racing. Moreover, an all-new WP XPLOR PDS rear shock now takes charge at the rear, weighing 380 g less than the previous generation unit. It features a new compact design, new bearings seals, and a new main piston for optimized oil flow, and improved, consistent damping, as well as providing full adjustability thanks to easy-to-use hand clickers for adjustments on the fly.
The transparent, polythene (XPE) fuel tank is a signature element of the KTM Enduro line up.
Not only does this let you keep an eye on your fuel level with a quick glance, but years of development mean it’s the strongest, most reliable fuel tank yet.
For 2024, a one-piece fuel pump and filter improve fuel supply allowing the tank to be emptied further at the low fuel level. And with 9 litres of fuel at your disposal, you can hit the trail or track with utmost confidence.
SERVICABLILITY
The KTM 300 EXC HARDENDURO is designed to allow easy access to service parts with added service markers – like these ▲ – and draining nodes without the need for excessive tools and pit crews.
The reason? Faster track-side and off-season maintenance to ensure you’re ready to head for the hills at a moment’s notice.
OFFROAD CONTROL UNIT
An all-new 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
The KTM 300 EXC HARDENDURO rolls on a full-factory wheelset made up of high-strength black D.I.D alloy wheels coupled to orange-anodized CNC-machined hubs, black spokes, and orange aluminum nipples.
These are wrapped in a set of ultra-grippy Metzeler 6 DAYS Extreme tires providing exceptional traction in all conditions.
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.
An all-new 48 mm WP XACT Closed Cartridge spring fork finds its way into the KTM Enduro line-up for 2024. Providing fast and consistent damping, optimized oil flow, and a new hydro stop in the last 68 mm of the stroke, the forks ensure unmatched performance at any level.
New fork protection rings also provide improved protection against dirt intrusion. Best of all, the new fork allows for full adjustment of compression and rebound without the need for any tools.
