2006 KTM 300 EXC Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in KTM's enduro - offroad motorcycle lineup, the 2006 KTM 300 EXC utilizes a 293 cc (17.9 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke layout. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 72.0 x 72.0 mm (2.8 x 2.8 inches) with a 11.0:1 compression ratio.

On the scales, the 300 EXC measures 102.8 kg (227 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 925 mm (36.4 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,475 mm (58.1 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 8.5-liter (2.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
