2012 KTM 300 EXC Six Days Review
300 EXC Six Days: MORE MEANS MORE
Sometimes nothing can take the place of engine capacity. Whenever it comes
to brutal thrust, then it's time for the 300 EXC Six Days. Your two-stroke machine
is a real torque-wonder with unbelievable power that makes light of the bike's
low weight. Now with even more power and a completely revamped chassis, the
300 EXC Six Days is the ideal partner for the next cross-country or hardcore enduro
race.
2012 KTM 300 EXC Six Days Features and Benefits
UNBEATABLE POWER-TO-WEIGHT RATIO
ENGINE POWER AND WEIGHT
The understandable technology of the two-stroke engine has indisputable advantages,
including a high power/displacement ratio and low weight. In terms of power-to-weight
ratio, the 300 EXC Six Days is practically unbeatable thanks to the latest facelift.
Unrivalled performance and playful handling are the results.
NOW WITH EVEN MORE PERFORMANCE
NEW INTAKE SNORKEL, NEW AIRBOX, NEW CYLINDER
Together with the redesigned airbox and flow-optimised intake flange between
airbox and carburettor, the new cylinder with low valve timing ensures even
better charging with fresh gas. This results in even freer revving and even
more power in all rev ranges for the liquid-cooled, two-stroke machine.
NOW EVEN MORE ERGONOMIC
BODYWORK
The 300 EXC Six Days's new bodywork with the very slim seat and spoiler lines, plus
excellent contact points, perfects the bike's ergonomics, making handling
even simpler and more precise. The longer rear fender protects the rider even
more effectively from swirled up stones.
ADJUSTABLE ENGINE CHARACTERISTICS
ADJUSTABLE EXHAUST CONTROL AND ADJUSTABLE IGNITION CURVE
The responsiveness of the high-torque two-stroke machine can be varied in
three stages by replacing springs in the TVC exhaust controller. The rider
of the 300 EXC Six Days can also choose between two different ignition curves by means
of a plug or an optional switch.
NOW WITH AN EVEN MORE SUPERIOR CHASSIS
NEW FRAME
The completely revamped frame made from high-quality chrome-molybdenum steel is characterised by even greater lateral stiffness. It is also even better at absorbing jolts introduced by the suspension system, whereby the playful handling and comfort of the 300 EXC Six Days have been further optimised.
NEW SWINGARM, NEW PDS, NEW SETTING
The 300 EXC Six Days's new, lighter, cast aluminium swingarm accommodates the shock absorber more centrally, in order to load the swing arms more evenly. The new, 7 mm (0.28 in) longer PDS shock absorber with adjustable rebound and high/low-speed compression damping, and a new setting is installed more flatly, so providing even more progression.
TELESCOPIC FORK, NEW SETTING
The 300 EXC Six Days is equipped with the latest WP upside-down fork with wider adjustment ranges and a new setting. The sensitive responsiveness and outstanding damping of the open-cartridge fork with 48 mm (1.89 in) outer tubes are a perfect complement for the 300 EXC Six Days's playful handling and precision.
NEW WHEELS
Practically unbeatable in terms of weight and stability, the new wheels have
CNC-machined hubs, Excel rims, zinc/nickel-coated spokes and aluminium nipples.
They reduce the unsprung and gyroscopic masses, hence bolstering the playful
handling of the 300 EXC Six Days.
