KTM 300 EXC 2015

The "big" two-stroke engine was newly developed in 2017 and is used on the 250 and 300. The electric starter is no longer "flange-mounted" but compactly integrated. Professionals have said that the 300 is actually too powerful for them. For me, however, it is THE 2-stroke recommendation, especially for hobby riders. With the map selector, you can choose the "mild" mapping here and also fall back on the weaker spring for the exhaust control. In practice, you can ride it in a gear higher than the 250 and it becomes quite tame. The new balancer shaft offers a big plus in ride comfort: significantly less vibration!

The box-office hit of recent years has been improved with pinpoint accuracy. The usable rev range has been widened, making the 350 a little easier to ride than before. But it still feels like the most radical machine among the 4-stroke models. It combines the advantages of the "250" and "450" but also their disadvantages. Nevertheless: 90% of all KTM customers will set the fastest time on the special test with the 350 EXC-F. It is the most universal purchase recommendation for enduro racers.
