Have you ever wanted to know how much these bikes really weigh full of fuel and ready to ride? KTM lists their weights one way, Yamaha lists them another. Since I always set off from the truck with a full tank of fuel, I’m going to be weighing my dirt bikes that way.
Today, I will be putting the 2017 KTM 300 XC, the 2015 KTM 300 XC, and the 2017 Yamaha YZ250X on the scale.
Here is a little preview:
The 2015 300 XC came in a 251.5 lbs, while the 2017 came in at 243.5 lbs. That is a savings of 8 lbs! The 2016 model was the same as the 2015. That means that the new changes with the frame, motor, and forks all added up to 8 lbs of savings. That is pretty amazing if you ask me.
Onto the Yamaha. It came in at 236.5 lbs. The YZ250X is 7 lbs lighter than the KTM 300, but the KTM has 3 lbs more fuel, at least 1 lbs more skid plate, and around 1 lbs in the rear disk gaurd. If you factor those in, the KTM is only about 1-2 lbs heavier even with e-start
