KTM 300 EXC 2017

Although the 1000PS Offroad Crew found a few weak points, all testers were enthusiastic about the KTM 300 EXC. Its single-cylinder has good responsiveness and is very easy to ride thanks to its power. The chassis offers a solid basic setup ex works, even if it is a bit top-heavy according to our pros. In addition, many parts, such as the fan, have to be bought from KTM accessories, so the bill will be a little higher.
