Engineered by KTM for the enduro - offroad motorcycle segment, the 2014 KTM 300 XC pairs a 293 cc (17.9 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 72.0 x 72.0 mm (2.8 x 2.8 inches).
On the scales, the 300 XC measures 103.9 kg (229 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 992 mm (39.1 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,495 mm (58.9 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 10-liter (2.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
