2026 KTM 300 XC-W Hardenduro Base

2026 KTM 300 XC-W Hardenduro

The 2026 KTM 300 XC-W HARDENDURO is ready to roll out of the racing van and onto the prologue starting line. Based on the already legendary KTM 300 XC-W, the HARDENDURO sets itself apart with an exclusive HARDENDURO parts package. Hardcore protection parts, pull-straps, CNC-machined components - not to mention fully-adjustable closed cartridge forks - and a totally unique graphics kit, makes this the ultimate READY TO RACE package for tackling the World's toughest offroad championship.

Features may include:

• Adjustability

Getting READY TO RACE has never been easier. The KTM XC-W range boasts a tool-free suspension setup at both ends. At the rear, our legendary, race-winning PDS technology features hand-adjustable dual compression controls, allowing riders to adjust high- and low-speed settings in a matter of seconds. On the front, the forks are also easily adjusted thanks to hand-adjustable clickers on the bottom of the fork shoe and on the fork top cap, making changing settings on the fly as easy as twisting the throttle.

• Offroad Control Unit

An Offroad Control Unit - or OCU - under the seat replaces all the electronic fuses and relays. All outputs are switched depending on signals from the voltage regulator and the ECU continuously. In the event of over-current, outputs are deactivated individually. This makes for easy error detection as the status of each output is indicated by a red or green LED light. This means diagnosing an electrical issue out on the trail is as easy as lifting the seat, and there's no more need to carry fiddly fuses.

• Frame

Specifically engineered for longitudinal rigidity, the KTM 300 XC-W HARDENDURO is engineered around a gloss-orange powder-coated frame providing exceptional rider feedback, energy absorption, and high-speed stability. This is achieved by repositioning the rotating masses in the frame along with a forged steering head connection. The footrest mounts also feature a slim design for less risk of hooking up. And when the ride comes to an end, a forged one-piece side stand ensures your enduro weapon stands proud.

• Stability

The KTM XC-W range remains rock-solid at any speed thanks to a repositioned and forged steering head connection and CNC-milled triple clamps. Made from high-grade aluminum, these feature optimally tuned steering stem stiffness, perfect alignment of the fork tubes, and precise geometry of the fork clamps to ensure highly responsive and smooth fork action - not to mention unwavering stability for those ultra-fast flat-out special stages.
