![]() For now, we will focus on just one model, the 300 XC-W two-stroke. KTM invited Cycle News to Ohio to sample all the 2024 W models on the same course as the John Penton GNCC held a few days before our arrival. The exhaust power valve is also electronic now. The OCU sits under the seat and replaces all the fuses and relays in a convenient package with red or green lights that indicate the status of each output. Toolless adjusters for both compression and rebound are another much-approved feature.Įnduro riders will also welcome a 300 percent brighter LED headlight and a new Off-Road Control Unit (OCU). The new shock keeps the previous Xplor name but gets a new body and settings to keep up with the new frame and fork. Without a rear linkage, the XC-W gains more than half an inch of ground clearance over its XC cousin. The shock is new, too, but retains the W’s linkless PDS system. The updated fork on the 2024 model offers compression and rebound on each stick with welcomed WP finger adjusters. It replaces the previous open-cartridge Xplor fork, which had compression dampening on the left leg and rebound adjustment on the right. New for 2024 is the 48mm WP Xact closed-cartridge fork. The 300 XC-W was already ideal for slicing through tight, wooded trails. All the frames share a similar design, but the 150 has its own specific frame the 250 and 300 share the same frame, and all the four-strokes (including the new XW-F “green sticker” models) ride on the same chassis. KTM removed the “backbone” from the shock tower to the head tube and designed the frame to transfer energy down through the pegs rather than up into the bars. The XCF-W has a selectable map switch and can accept traction control and quickshift, which are available separately as a KTM Power Parts accessory. It has a six-speed transmission versus the XC-F’s five-speed. It’s powered by a similar engine to its 450 XC-F and SX-F cousins, but the W puts out less horsepower, 57 versus 63. KTM’s only four-stroke XCF-W model is the 450. This is handy because you can share gas with your four-stroke buddies or fill up at a gas station without having to carry oil. You still fill oil just above the standard gas cap just like you do with the TPI bikes. The new W two-strokes retain an onboard oil tank, eliminating the need to mix gas. Two maps, smooth and aggressive, come standard on the XC-W like the SX and XC models. The new XC-W engine has gone away from the TPI (Transfer Port Injection) for the new TBI (Throttle Body Injection) technology, the same technology was guinea-pigged on the ’23 SX and XC two-stroke bikes. KTM says the bike is 95% new from the previous W generation, which you’ll remember as the TPI bikes for the two-stroke machines. So what’s new on the XC-W models? Well, just about everything. The 2024 KTM 300 XC-W arrives with TBI fuel injection and pretty much all-new everything. Think of it as a smoother offering that bridges the gap between the XC and the EXC-F (dual sport). With the racing-inspired SX (motocross) and XC (cross-country) models being close variations of each other, the XC-W is much different. The XC-W’s are the weapon of choice for hard-enduro champions like Mani Lettenbichler and Trystan Hart. If you’re riding hard enduro, special tests, or anything ultra-tight and technical, these are the bikes you should check out. The XC-W and XCF-W lineup is KTM’s competition enduro models. SX, SX-F, XC, XC-F, XC-W, XCF-W, EXC-F and so on. Like so many other bikes on the market, the letters that distinguish KTM’s off-road models can get confusing. ![]() ![]() As a result, 2024 XC-W and XCF-Ws get all the attention with a major redesign. As expected, many of those changes the XC and SX models saw have now made it to the enduro models.
