KTM’s extreme enduro returns for the 2027 model year, featuring all the upgrades, including suspension that set it apart from the standard 300 XC-W and EXC-F 6Days models in the USA.
Under the new graphics, it’s essentially the same extreme enduro as the 2026 model. It’s fitted with a 48mm WP Xact closed-cartridge fork with base-valve preload adjusters. Compared to the previous model, however, it has updated damping settings, lighter, shorter springs and a new pressure reservoir adapted to the springs’ new geometry. Other tidbits include an orange-colored frame, a map-select switch, factory Excel wheel sets, a radiator fan and plenty of bike protection.
The KTM 300 XC-W Hardenduro is expected to be available this month with an MSRP of $13,699.CN
