For the 2020 range, the bikes were effectively
brand new from the ground up. We
re-visited that feature and looked at some
of our comments there. It is pretty amazing
how this brand just keeps evolving.
Here is a statement:
When KTM builds a bike – they focus on
what they want and deliver a bike for the
intended purpose. Some other brands
build a bike that can be used for this and
can be used for that. With these two,
KTM has built enduro machines. Nothing
in-between.
For 2021, the KTM 300 XC-W TPI benefits
from an additional external preload
adjuster in the WP XPLOR front fork that
allows for easy setting changes for varying
track or trail conditions.
The 250:
The smallest model of the KTM 4-stroke
range has a surprisingly big bite for its
size. Last year it went through a plethora
of updates.
For 2021, it gets WP XPLOR fork preload
adjusters as standard.
The ride:
Brand new bikes. Really brand new with
Zero kilometres.
That’s quite a nod in our direction – basically
with all the mad-ass racing the guys
are involved with, they had no time, so
we were entrusted to run the bikes in a
bit – and try not to cause any damage to
them while we were having fun…
So this was a cautious feature to say
the least – and only once we had added
a coupla zero’s to the digital odometers
were we able to open up a bit.
Please make no attempt to imitate the illustrated riding scenes, always wear protective clothing and observe the applicable provisions of the road traffic regulations!
The illustrated vehicles may vary in selected details from the production models and some illustrations feature optional equipment available at additional cost.
For 2021, KTM has made small refinements
to their lineup.
You would know all about it but here goes
again…
The 2021 KTM EXC portfolio is denoted
through a fresh and truly Ready To Race
livery. The major upgrades for 2021
take the form of changes to suspension
components (closer to factory than ever
before), as well as engine reinforcements
and new graphics.
We are a hung jury on the grey plastics
here at the offices – some of us really
like it – others feel it is a departure from
traditional KTM colours.
TENACITY
The 300:
2021 marks the fourth year of KTM’s
advanced and electronically controlled
2-stroke fuel injection system. TPI extended
the possibilities for performance,
rider experience and the delivery of
dependable power right into the rider’s
fingers. The advantages are clear: There
is no need for re-jetting for the climate,
altitude or conditions. Automatic and electronically
applied oil injection is another
major asset.
Best of all – it is absolutely hassle free –
just add oil and fuel – no more mixing…
And it has proved to be really reliable.
MADE OF METTLE
It takes a special type of confidence to see the lines in the
gnarliest terrain. But it takes a machine equally as capable
to get you through to the top. The KTM 300 EXC TPI is
built to take on the most extreme enduro challenges.
