2024 KTM 300 XC-W Full Review 

I've been with you since the get go, nice to see you nut out some mechanical "know how". Nice to see you just blurt out honesty. That is comforting to hear as only so much praise and BS is believable. Keep having fun, keep it honest and "that's your thing" believable. Nice work captain.

I should have mine in a week or so just waiting on arrival. I went with the hard enduro version because I got a killer deal

Beautiful bikes don't get me wrong but I'll be hanging onto my 17 exc 300 for now . I love it

I had to ditch the start/stop button. The stock push button sucks period.

You get your hands on any 2025 models? Wonder if there have been any changes

I want a 300 four stroke KTM XCW, but alas I must keep waiting

They run FANTASTICALLY & they start QUICKLY. they are adverbs

No kickstart??

Agreed on propitiatory plastics. Super dumb. I love after market plastics

Appreciate this very much🤘🏼🤘🏼

What’s your favorite rear tire for moderate single track dirt and rocks

Are the front and rear wheels the same as the TPI version?

Sorry is this the same bike you did a video on not long ago about how gutless it was??????

What's the range on this bike?

So is this the only 300cc 2-stroke enduro bike from KTM? I always get so confused with the model lines. Still trying to figure out the difference between an enduro bike and a cross-country bike

I would put in for giveaway cuz i need new bike but my mom thinks everything is a scam

fuel tank pick up thing is one of the dumbest things I have ever heard of. That is a giant miss.

They are way too tall! I’m really disappointed. I’ll keep my 18 XCW forever I guess.

Bro i want this bike when i was 4th now i am 8th but my parents declined it 😞 can you give me it for free please 😢😢🥺🥺🥺🙁🙁☹️☹️

Dang, wish I could afford a bike like that one day! I’d never stop riding it!

I have about 9 hours on my 24 300 XCW now and i must say, its a fabulous bike. Had a 17 and 21 300 XCW before and they were also good bikes, but the new closed chamber forks have left me with little to be desired left. I always felt with the XPLOR i wasnt really rising a real dirt bike. The new model XACT is confidence inspiring to say the absolute least. I run a 25mm lowering kit on all these 300's i have owned as well and im not super excited about the shorter shock on the 24 300, which is my only real gripe.

TSP {Two Stroke Performance} now offers ECU's with their own custom mapping and a head insert to match for both the XC and XCW that makes substantial performance gains for different types of riding and terrain and if you have an XC you can send your stater in and have it rewound to produce more power for lights and a fan, KTM is still miles ahead of all the other companies in 2 stroke R&D.

Hope aftermarket comes up with shrouds that are like the older models. Those fucking triangular ass plastics are horrible

I've run mine out of gas twice, these bikes seem to burn more fuel. Looking forward to Acerbis making an after market tank that fits around the oil pump.

I just picked up new 24 250 XC-W Many KTM dealers here in the DFW metroplex running great deals on new bikes and 0.99% financings

Can you premix your fuel on the 24 xc-w or do you have to use the oil injection system?

Could do a fuel pick-up relocate. But I agree, I tried the 24 tx300 and just too responsive for enduro/hard enduro. I wanna try a smaller bore 150 or xc125.

Ethanol or Non Ethanol? I have only seen 89 octane.

i just hope they make it so you dont have to mix the gas. oh my goodness that would be so nice. edit: nvm i didnt listen.

Rode a new one the other day... bit dissapointing. Heaps of feedback through the frame, like a 2008. Looks to have gone back to steeper pds angle. Motor falls on it's face above the low end. With TSP mods it'll prob be nice. Also if they update to Billy Bolt's frame next year.

The fuel pickup think is just incredible … you’re carrying 1,5 liters of gas you won’t be able to use… for the rest of the bike, it’s awesome

Started riding again after 20+ years off and I’m 45 now. I’m riding a Crf250F now and need an upgrade. Mostly trail riding and light jumping stuff. Looking at this or the Sherco 300 SE. we ride up here in Ohio.

What do you think of the (new) 2024 350 XW-F?

This is the ktm channel. It's even orange

The fuel pick up is dumb other than that the bike is awesome 👍

Kyle, Love the videos! I have been riding a KDX200 for years, thinking about a newer bike. If you couldn't swing a new KTM 300 XC-W what year would you look for 2020-24? I understand to look for owner detail, abuse and modifications, but if everything is equal, which year?

Was just riding my older 300 xcw and got caught BFE pitch black night! That stock headlight is a joke… ended up going down…! What is the best headlight setup I can buy?

I just ran out of gas tonight on my road home. Bike has prob 15 miles of gas in it still. This is a real problem. I’d rather have the vulnerable petcock than have a tank that runs dry when I can see a half a gallon in it.

Would you think going from crf250f to the 300 xcw is a good idea wife wants my 250f so looking for new bike

Good to see the triple clamps are a new design as the cast clamps are junk. The best thing I ever did was swap them for the SXF or 6 day machined CNC @ 18mm offset.

I still only have my 04’ 450 EXC and have no desire to get a newer bike. I use computer fans for the radiator at the moment, I have the ktm fan but it won’t fit with my IMS tank unless I heat gun a recessed spot for it. Still debating on that. Sucks KTM dropped the kickstarter.

Do you continue to use motorex oil in ur bikes?

🤞hoping to win this bike. Especially since you added the Efan. I live in AZ and it would help out during the summer rides.

Your first impression of the XC forks were good. You said it absorbs edges really well. Has that opinion changed?

any idea what the questions you have to answer if you win will be? Should I be on the lookout for anything?

How much do you weight with gear? Am debating leaving suspension stock for my weight or revalue and re spring

What maps do the pros use?

the fuel thing seems weird ;;;

How long do you ride dirtbikes mate?

On the fuel pickup thing, if you run the bike until it runs out of gas there isn’t any more left that there was in the old petcock bikes. It could be an issue if you were on a smooth road but that’s exactly rare circumstances. I’m on a 2018 now and I don’t know wether to keep it and get a ‘24 or sell.

i just got one . wow what a smooth machine

Love the full review videos. Come on xc 250

Great. I’ll take it. Lol

You never own/ride a bike long enough to "break" them. The normal guy spends $13,000 on a bike and rides it 3,4,5 or more seasons. It's at this point failures start to happen. Not in 7 months of riding the bike 3 times, then giving it away. Sheesh!

Love the vids keep them up!!!

Exactly the almost 4 stroke like power delivery, from a lightweight woods bike, I'd want.

What radiator fan did you put on this bike

That bike is so sweet!

I hate the tabs on the fenders, it's so hard to clean properly.

Another Great bike review Kyle, love your work keep them coming

I agree on the fly adjustments are great! Quick an easy

For the love of god stop saying mapping for a cylinder porting difference between the xc and xc-w. Mapping is an ecu thing. IMHO. Am I wrong?
