How the 2026 KTM 300 XC Feels on the Trail
Power delivery you can use
A 300-class 2-stroke is all about controllable thrust. The 300 XC is tuned for cross-country pace—helping you build speed out of corners, keep momentum through sand washes, and stay composed when traction is inconsistent.
6-speed gearing for varied terrain
With a 6-speed transmission, the 300 XC is built to cover a wide range of speeds. That matters when your ride includes tight singletrack, faster fire roads, and everything in between—without feeling boxed into one pace.
Cross-country focus
The XC name is about going the distance at speed. Expect a ride character that rewards smooth throttle control and line choice—ideal for riders who want a bike that feels competitive on loops, races, and long trail days.
