2026 KTM 300 XC-W

2026 KTM 300 XC-W – THE ULTIMATE SAN DIEGO SINGLETRACK WEAPON

The 2026 KTM 300 XC-W continues to define what a true hard-enduro machine should be—lightweight, brutally torquey, and built to carve through the toughest terrain San Diego riders can throw at it. Whether you're threading through Pine Valley’s rock gardens or powering up loose fire roads in the Cuyamacas, this next-generation 300 XC-W delivers a level of confidence that only a perfectly tuned 2-stroke can offer at every elevation and in every terrain type.

At its core is the legendary 293 cc single-cylinder 2-stroke engine, now refined with Keihin EFI and a 39 mm throttle body for ultra-smooth fueling and crisp throttle response. KTM’s Vitesco EMS keeps the power clean and predictable, giving riders that ideal balance between low-end lugging ability and explosive top-end speed. Paired with a buttery Brembo DDS clutch and a precise 6-speed transmission, the 300 XC-W thrives in technical trails where momentum and traction are everything.

The chassis is built for real-world enduro abuse—featuring KTM’s 25CrMo4 central double-cradle frame and an aluminum-reinforced polyamide subframe that keeps things light without sacrificing durability. The WP XACT 48 mm fork and WP XPLOR PDS rear shock offer massive travel and fully adjustable damping, letting riders fine-tune for rocks, roots, tight canyons, and wide-open desert sections. With class-leading ground clearance, a slim profile, and a seat height tuned for aggressive transitions, the 300 XC-W feels like a natural extension of the rider.

From twisty singletrack to long-haul weekend adventures, the 2026 KTM 300 XC-W is engineered to outperform and outlast—making it one of the most capable enduro bikes available anywhere in Southern California.
