QUICKSPIN I 2024 KTM 300 XC-W
P104
WHAT'S NEW
So what's new on the XC-W
models? Well, just about every-
thing. KTM says the bike is 95%
new from the previous W gener-
ation, which you'll remember as
the TPI bikes for the two-stroke
machines. So let's start there.
The new XC-W engine has gone
away from the TPI (Transfer
Port Injection) for the new TBI
(Throttle Body Injection) tech-
nology, the same technology
was guinea-pigged on the '23 SX
and XC two-stroke bikes. Two
maps, smooth and aggressive,
come standard on the XC-W like
the SX and XC models. The new
W two-strokes retain an onboard
oil tank, eliminating the need
to mix gas. You still fill oil just
above the standard gas cap just
like you do with the TPI bikes.
This is handy because you can
share gas with your four-stroke
buddies or fill up at a gas station
without having to carry oil.
KTM's only four-stroke XCF-W
model is the 450. It's powered
by a similar engine to its 450
XC-F and SX-F cousins, but the
W puts out less horsepower, 57
versus 63. It has a six-speed
transmission versus the XC-
The 2024 KTM 300
XC-W arrives with
TBI fuel injection
and pretty much all-
new everything.
You can now adjust the
PDS shock by hand.
