Well look at that. After years of podiums in hard enduro competition, KTM has decided to release a machine specifically aimed at this segment of the dirt racing world. As the name implies, the new KTM 300 XC-W HARDENDURO is based on the standard 300 XC-W model, which is often the base used to build these race machines. So what’s different? Some added protection (including wraparound handguards and composite, a new closed-cartridge suspension system, lots of orange-anodized bling… all in all, a combination of performance parts mixed with aesthetic accents.

It’s available at KTM dealerships from July onwards, and as usual, they never included an MSRP in the press release (see below) and you won’t find one on the website. Better ask your local KTM house for that number—Ed.
