ktm 300 XC-W

After a year of trail riding kids bikes I decided it was time to get back on a smoker. With the introduction of Throttle Body Injection in 2023, I patiently waited for KTM to bring it to the EXC / XC-W model. Thankfully a year later we finally have it and I just so happened to get my hands on one thanks to the good people over at  @AOMC 

After 25 hours of riding I figured it was time to give you my honest thoughts on my 2024 KTM 300 XC-W. I have been pretty hard on the bike and have ridden it in several different environments. From single track to hard enduro, road use & more. What are my honest thoughts coming from the GOAT carbureted 2018 model..

Here in Ohio our weather is sporadic but last week we were blessed with some cold temps that finally froze Buckeye lake! I recently bought an extra set of wheels for the KTM so I threw the Kold Kutter ice tires on the 300 XC-W and headed out to Buckeye Lake! It’s a whole different experience riding on glass, but loads of fun!
