QUICKSPIN I 2023 KTM 300 XC
P84
triple clamps, black D.I.D rims
with CNC-machined orange
hubs, an FMF muffler, a solid
rear disc, and various protective
pieces adorn the new XC-F Fac-
tory Edition. It was even better
looking in person than on paper,
which we had seen a few days
earlier for the first time.
However, the new 350 wasn't
my ride for the weekend. In-
stead, it was 2023 KTM 300
XC, which features an all-new
two-stroke engine and updated
chassis and suspension. Not a
bad alternative at all.

new XC 300 in the
recent Ironman
GNCC. The silt was
quite the contrast
from last year's
mudbath. (Below)
We raced the XC 300
right out of the crate.
Many years ago, that
would be unheard
of, but today, KTMs
are indeed "race
ready" right off the
showroom floor.
