$9,099: 2017 KTM 300 XC-W Overview and Review

[@SANDS78]

Looks great, boy that is expensive for something that will be ridden through the mud. Looks like you missed the seat clip on the gas tank.

Great review sir, thank you!

[@RPeacock1128]

I love your reviews...... The 2017's are sold out in my immediate area. Any confirmed news if the 2018 will be EFI? --- lots of rumors on the internet and the current Dirt Bike Magazine is reporting (possibly on EU models). I definitly do not want to buy a new EFI model the first year it is introduced. If EFI is coming to U.S. models in 2018 I'm willing to extend my search area looking for dealers that have any 2017's still in stock.

RPeacock1128 there's a separate model with TPI, but they're only allowing like 50 bikes into the states. My dealer said they aren't even allowed to take orders for them until 2019

wow nice bike i'm a 2 stroke die hard fan but man that new Africa Twin is very tempting especially given the price difference between the 2. 9k vs 12k but obviously the africa twin is a larger bike. anyone with an insight on these two fun machines?

[@mainlandcyclecenter]

Check out the new KTM 1090 Adventure R. It is a little more than the AF twin, But you get a lot more.

It still bothers me that the seat isn't completely on right... ugh OCD

Would it be good for a 14 year old I'm 5'9'' hopefully taller next year

[@midamultitool1387]

it has a ton of power..

[@hdidane00]

a 14 year old shouldnt get anything more than a 100cc. this thing will rip his arms off especially given that it's a 2 stroke ans 2 strokes make twice as much power as 4 strokes.

[@westvirginiasworstangler2126]

hdidane00 I am 14 and I have this damn bike. You obviously are misguided because I race adults in the 300 class and I whoop ass.

[@shutthejoshup9875]

GarrettTheFisherman i was about to say. I think depending on your skill level, this would be a great bike. Especially if your trail/enduro riding!

Tress in TEXAS? You mean a bush.
