Motorcycle specifications KTM300 EXC 6 days 2016 Extreme mastery

With a 293 cm3 2-stroke engine and a finely tuned chassis, the Enduro takes on a very sporty dimension, at least for connoisseurs. It's enough to push you to the limit and take on tough challenges. This is KTM's mission. No other brand in off-road motorsports has a track record comparable to that of KTM. The special edition Six Days models pay tribute to this success with special performance enhancements and top-of-the-range components. In 2015, the International Six Days of Enduro (ISDE) will be held in Slovakia, and the KTM model range has been equipped to cope with all the pitfalls that these muddy, rocky terrains can present.

optimized engine

the powerful engine of the KTM 300 EXC Six Days, combined with a 6-speed gearbox and electric starter, offers an unrivalled power-to-weight ratio, exceptional performance and outstanding handling.

air box

the airbox on the KTM 300 EXC Six Days provides maximum airflow while preventing the passage of impurities. Replacing the dual air filter takes around 15 seconds, with no tools required. Resolutely "READY TO RACE";

telescopic fork

kTM Six Days models are equipped with a 48 mm closed-cartridge 4CS fork from WP Suspension. Not only is WP's patented 4-chamber technology (4CS) an advantage in terms of responsiveness and consistent damping performance, it's also lighter and the oil change procedure is much simpler than on traditional closed-cartridge versions. Of course, the settings can be easily adapted to the track and rider with a few clicks of the knob at the top of the fork: compression adjustment on the left and rebound on the right: another advantage of 4CS technology.

individual suspension settings

each EXC model has its own suspension settings, perfectly matched to weight and engine. at the rear, a PDS shock absorber from WP Suspension is connected directly to the upper part of the swingarm. KTM machines come standard with a wide range of high-speed and low-speed rebound and compression adjustment options.

frame

the modern frame design of the 300 EXC Six Days, with tubular sections made of lightweight, high-strength chrome-moly steel, offers a high degree of stability.ne steel, offers maximum longitudinal rigidity combined with optimum torsional rigidity. It ensures excellent handling and steering precision, as well as excellent riding stability. So the new frame doesn't just come in a new color; it also sets the benchmark in terms of weight and stability. The frame is the same orange color as that of the KTM factory team, making it even more attractive. Thanks to the combination of frame design and the PDS rear damping system, shocks to the rear wheel are optimally absorbed and dissipated. The 2016 model is also equipped with a solid frame protector.

swingarm

the design of the cast-aluminum swingarm is the result of careful calculations and computer simulation. Its design and wall thickness guarantee optimum rigidity while reducing weight, as well as precisely defined flexibility.

high-quality wheels

all KTM Six Days models come with GIANT alloy wheels as standard.all KTM Six Days models are equipped as standard with GIANT wheels made of high-quality, extremely stable 7050 aluminum alloy, featuring the Six Days logo and CNC-machined hubs. Developed in collaboration with KTM, Metzeler tires ensure excellent traction, steering precision and long life. Another standard feature on Six Days is the Supersprox bi-metal rear sprocket with steel outer ring and aluminum star.

fork crown

top-of-the-range CNC-machined fork crowns are designed specifically for enduro riding, ensuring precise handling by influencing fork flex. Feedback to the front wheel is exceptional, even on the roughest terrain, increasing safety and passing speeds.

brakes

kTM off-road models have always been equipped with high-tech Brembo brakes and Wave discs, the ultimate braking solution. True benchmarks in the enduro category, they remain unchanged on the 2016 models.
