2024 KTM's

Just found it on MXA. Interesting note. 6 speed XCF gets QS now, and it can be added to the 2023 XCF via software update.

I'm not sure how I'm feelin about the purple...

5k?? cone valves complete fork set up is only around $3500... WP 6500 spring inserts about $1300ish.. Even just a standard revalve these days front/rear will run around 1K 

‘23s are quite a bit less than $11k now if you look around. 

No 2024 300SX???

Sorry. Never had aftermarket stuff so I have no idea what they cost. I think the stock stuff with a revalve would work for what I do. 

Sorry but none of those looked good. Maybe it's the funky way they did the ktm looks half completed 

2024 KTM 250/300 SX HIGHLIGHTS 

So I would say yes, but weird that I now see not on the official ktm site, but in the press releases says there is?

Yes there is a 24' 300 SX

How did you feel about it last year? It's basically the same graphic from last year, they just accidentally hit +200% on the printer and it came out way too big for the shroud.

Which spring fork on the XC? It’s not the EXC fork, is it? 

From the press release : 

The biggest improvement to the 2024 KTM XC and XC-F range comes by way of the suspension. Upfront, an all-new WP XACT Closed Cartridge spring fork provides improved feel and comfort over long offroad races. Improved damping characteristics come thanks to a new mid-valve piston concept that optimizes the oil flow within the cartridge. This setup avoids unwanted foaming of oil which can lead to an unwanted change of damping characteristics and less consistent damping behavior. A new hydro stop in the last 68 mm of the stroke aids in maintaining maximum reserves in extreme riding situations. Revised fork protection rings also provide increased protection against dirt intrusion for improved reliability. The new WP XACT Closed Cartridge fork retains its 48 mm diameter, while the total length is now 940 mm, providing 300 mm of travel

They look a lot like the closed chamber WP6500 cartridges. Not the EXC Xplor open chamber design. 

That’s gonna make the XC really popular.. 

Just turned 40hrs on my 300Sx. Imo the chassis/ frame on this bike is excellent, my rear shock is totally stock, couple clicks either way for Mx to GNCC type riding. I have never used the stock forks as I have 5 year old Cone valves, but I have used the Aer”s on past models with no issues, just takes longer to get them dialed in. I did have my ECU remapped, after 35hrs stock, I felt like fine tuning the power. Currently have ECU remapped, +1 on the rear sprocket and FMF Factory Fatty with stock silencer. Bike is a rocket, handles great, carves an inside line with little effort. I know guys have had some issues with these new bikes but mine has been great. I can race MX and the next weekend race a hare scramble or GNCC with nothing more than an XC tank and bark busters.  Hopefully they clean up the mapping for 24, mine was rideable stock but with the remap it is like the most perfectly jetted 2 stroke you have ever ridden…

Had a friend pick up a 23 450sxf from Bentleys in Murraysville pa for $8200 otd if anybody is looking for a deal. 

Forks are -10mm this year? Is shock shorter as well? Sounds like the Husky length stuff. Some guys dont like the husky vs the ktm

Who did the remap?

Wait so they did or didn't revise shock mount? I heard 24.5

Only xc and xcf forks are shorter. The press release doesn’t say anything about the shock.

there's a tiny hint of purple on the 23's too, but I didn't notice until today when I compared.

24 300 XC with my name written on it, somewhere 

Ktm doing a great job of making themselves the ugly duckling of the trio… the previous gen looked a lot sharper imo.

They will not revise the rear shock mount until the next generation of frame is released.  Which will most likely be 2026, or 2025.5 Factory Edition bikes.  The thing is the current location is on point for us mere mortals and is not a limiting factor.

Dear KTM,

Please refer to early 2000s graphics for new inspiration.  The last decade has sucked.  

Signed Everyone.

No wifi to update maps. 

I have a 23 husky 125 that was updated about 5 weeks ago. So there is a new update awaiting for them that I now need again? Mine is currently sitting and waiting for a cylinder to return from repair shop (broken piston at 10 hours). Now I guess I can make the 2 hour drive again to get the new update?  Do you know if they charge for these updates?  I took mine with me last time to have code cleared ( and undated) at the same time I bought a new 23 gas gas 125 so they updated for free and cleared the code on the broken husky.  

To be fair I feel in my case the code was kicked by the broken engine and just a code that most people seem to be getting. I sure hope they keep the gas gas carb'd for another year (Im sure they wont but...)
