Is that a question ?

I have not been giving a date for the SX300 yet, but I was told that they were “on the water”

At the crank seems reasonable. Not rwhp

I would say a 10% loss due to engine/oil/chain/clutch/trans drag is about average. So if so, that should be roughly 52+/- at the rear wheel. All the reviews I saw of the 300sx seemed very favorable, and I saw a friend of mine Jack Pagano (#295 National), ride his 250sx at a sand track and you could hear it clear across the track..unreal fast.

Lots of anticipation about this 300SX, hope it doesn’t bring me back to fall of 1996, when I sold my beloved 1993 CR250 for the ground breaking 97 Cr250…😂… was at dealer yesterday dropping off my 21 350sfx as a trade in…no mention of any updates on ETA…..I know one thing…. It’s going to get a 5 minute break in and then it’s full on neck wringing👍

Pretty sure the KTM HP quote is at the crank. I mean they plastered all over their marketing.

I am expecting mine in the next two weeks, put a deposit down on the only one this dealer is getting at the moment the day they had the initial media ride day. Vancouver Island.

They must have ran out of black rear sprockets at the factory because I just noticed mine is silver.

Awesome. I am torn between the 300SX and the 300XC but i ride moto 90% of the time.

How is the XC on the track? Had a chance to ride it yet?

Nice, do you ride the XC on the tracks as well? Or just off-road? I am looking for some feedback on how these are on the moto track. Currently have a 300SX on order but am very tempted to give the XC models a try.

What made you choose the 250 over the 300?

I think it’s easier to make an SX a GNCC/ woods bike than it is to make an XC a Moto bike…

Too be honest I’m sure you could set it up to do both. Obviously suspension is never going to be great at both. But, I have not ridden it yet. I tore it down when I got it home and made it mine. Lol
I’m waiting on suspension, pipe/silencer to show up and a few other little parts. I’ll ride it this weekend hopefully.

Are those KTM plastics? And if so where did you get them? Looks nice BTW.

I don't ride track anymore I'm 100% woods. I normally buy 300's but I thought I'd try the 250 this go around, I thought it might be a little easier to race enduro's on. I'm not much of a lugger I like to rip it up a little and my thinking is the 250 be easier to handle. Me and my riding buds also lost about 1000 acres of trails 2yrs ago that was pretty rocky and steep, had we not lost that land I'd most likely bought the 300. I only have two riding areas near me now and both are pretty tame elevation wise.

Yes. KTM patented their plastics and they will be your only way to get them.
They have about 6 colors available on their power parts web page.

If anyone needs a manual, this is all they give you now. You can download it onto your phone, but I’d still like having it on paper. I’ll probably have Kinkos print one up and bind it for me
