KTM 250 EXC-F 2012

The big 2017 upgrade has been particularly good for the small four-stroke. Because KTM has been able to further increase the power on the lively machine. Now even those riders for whom it was just a tad too weak can try it again. Of course, it has become even more manageable and all the new strengths of the 2017 models also apply to it. But with its 40 hp, it has broadened its target group more than the other 17 models.

Easy to ride - in every respect

traction and power delivery unbeatable

beginners hold the line easier with it than with the 2-strokes

in terms of weight, there is only a slight difference in handling compared to 2-strokes.

Actually a great bike for beginners, but equipped like the "big ones" it is also almost as expensive as a "big" Enduro

Lifting the front wheel over obstacles requires better riding technique than with a 350 or 450.

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.
