KTM 300 EXC HARDENDURO (2023-Present) Specs, Performance & Photos

After many decades of success at the world's toughest challenging enduro races, the Austrian motorcycle manufacturer introduced in 2023, as a 2024 model year, the KTM 300 EXC HARDENDURO as a celebration of the most difficult challenging enduro races on the planet and placed the bike at the top end of the KTM Enduro range.

The 2024 KTM 300 EXC HARDENDURO used the 2024 KTM 300 EXC as a baseline and was engineered with feedback from enduro riders to deliver a ready-to-race package right from the factory floor.

The HARDENDURO machine was specially designed to handle the toughest terrains and protect some vital elements. It was fitted with several protection accessories, such as closed hand guards, a clutch slave cylinder protection, a composite skid plate, and brake disc guards.

In addition to the new frame, suspension, and refined bodywork, the 2024 HARDENDURO model came with new specific graphics, an orange frame, a Map-selection switch, a radiator fan, a factory frame protector set, and many more.

In the power department, the 2024 KTM 300 EXC HARDENDURO had its heartbeat set by a 300cc two-stroke single-cylinder engine that delivered 49 hp and 43 Nm (32 lb-ft) torque.

In the handling department, the bike used a 48 mm WP USD closed cartridge telescopic fork on the front and a WP Xplor PDS shock absorber on the rear, delivering excellent suspension performance on rough surfaces.
