KTM 300 EXC 2016
The "big" two-stroke engine was newly developed in 2017 and is used on the 250 and 300. The electric starter is no longer "flange-mounted" but compactly integrated. Professionals have said that the 300 is actually too powerful for them. For me, however, it is THE 2-stroke recommendation, especially for hobby riders. With the map selector, you can choose the "mild" mapping here and also fall back on the weaker spring for the exhaust control. In practice, you can ride it in a gear higher than the 250 and it becomes quite tame. The new balancer shaft offers a big plus in ride comfort: significantly less vibration!

It wasn't just the looks of the KTM 250 EXC that convinced the 1000PS offroad faction. The 2-stroke single-cylinder was praised for its high torque, pleasant power and refined running. The behaviour of the chassis was also convincing, except for the excessive rebound of the fork. Thus, the KTM 250 EXC shines not only with a comfortable seating position but also with neutral and good-natured handling.
