2025 KTM 300 XC

When it comes to blending the worlds of motocross competition and off-road racing, think of the KTM XC line as the “in-between” choice. Based on the SX (or SX-F) platform of the purebred motocrossers, the XC cross-country models are a tactful hybrid that can still easily run on the motocross track, but have a select number of modifications that make life easier on the other side of the fence. An 18-inch rear wheel, kickstand, hand guards, larger fuel tank, and six-speed gearbox are among the distinctions you’ll find on the 2025 KTM 300 XC, and the most notable chassis difference, the WP Xact closed-cartridge coil-spring fork (as opposed to the air fork of the SX).

Like all of KTM’s two-strokes, the 300 XC is fuel injected, featuring the throttle body injection (TBI) Keihin EFI system, which replaced the less-popular transfer port injection (TPI) system in last year’s overhaul. Electric start, a handlebar-mounted engine map switch, Brembo clutch and brake hydraulics, and lightweight lithium-ion battery are standard. For 2025, the KTM 300 XC receives an updated frame, revised suspension, new linkage, and new bodywork and graphics.

The 2025 KTM 300 XC is available in orange for $11,499.
