Maximum power at the least possible weight, amplified by low maintenance costs and smooth, linear power delivery – the 2024 KTM 300 XC is set to take the Open category back to school. An all-new closed cartridge spring fork and cross-country specific suspension settings hand it the trophy in the handling stakes, while massive power from an engine weighing only 52.6 lb sets the benchmark when it comes to power to weight ratios. Could the 2024 KTM 300 XC be the new Open Class president?
