- Slow trail riding on a 2023 KTM 300XC in Map 2, the aggressive map. Even in Map 2 the all new throttle body injected 300cc engine runs smooth and clean down to zero RPM and then rips when the trails open up. The lower XCW 1st/2nd gears are good for exploring while 3rd is the go to do it all gear. This new engine is impressive.
Here is my first ride review on the new '23 300XC... • 2023 KTM 300XC First R...
Very Impressed...... Please keep the vids coming.
I am enjoying great fall weather and riding this new 300XC, especially the TBI engine. Got it out to Briarcliff MX yesterday so more videos loading soon!
I haven't ridden a bike in many years, but these new 300s look and seem to be absolutely awesome. Just may have to become a bike guy again
The new 300 2-strokes are amazing! Hi tech fuel injection with electronic power valve or classic carb with mechanical power valve - both so fun to ride... ruclips.net/video/D4XSo3i54es/видео.html
I prefer to just leave it in map two! I love the nasty 300 power! Mine seems very aggressive with map two. More aggressive than this one here! Not sure why but Im 110% thrilled with my first KTM the 2023 30xc nasty lol.
Green Map is Beast mode! Glad you enjoy your 300XC TBI - fast and fun bike....from putting in 1st gear to 60mph wheelies in 5th the 300XC Does it All! ruclips.net/video/VL5NPXdHbjc/видео.html
I have a 2022 XC and I luv it. I’m not going to cry about not having this bike.
Enjoy your 22 XC! I really like my KTM 300 Erzberg TPI bike and have no plans on selling it.
Stoked to hear about gearing! Love a low low 1st for the hard enduro stuff. I have a tx300 on order. Thx for the vid
Same! Super anxiously waiting for the call to come get her!
I really like the looks of the TX300 Heritage Edition!
I ordered the 250! It should be in next week, I can't wait! Thanks for the vid! Glad to see good things about these bikes.👍
Thanks! Congratulations on your new bike! I have heard some good things about the 250XC from a friend that rode one at the dealer show.
Yet again another amazing video. I know it's still early but I would love to see a 250 vs 300 tbi..
Also I'm not sure if you've mentioned it but what ratio are you running 60:1 motorex?
Glad you are enjoying the channel! I hope to hook up soon with my buddy Chris that has a new '23 KTM 250XC...will be fun to ride those bikes back to back. I am running the recommended 60:1 Motorex gas/oil mix.
@@surfncnow He is a lighter weight rider (I think around 160 lbs...I am 190lbs) and he said the '23 250XC had plenty of power. I rode a '21 250XC the other week and for me the biggest difference to the 300 engines is in the linearity of the torque under load. If you are going up a hill the 250 will have a little slower response until the power valve opens - then you get that "BAAA...WHOOP" feel as the power comes on strong. With a 300 you just get linear smooth torque even as the PV opens.
Spy the new gripper seat 😉
That seat is from my 22.5 KTM 450 Factory Edition and it is broken in so softer and more comfy....put the new 300XC on the 450FE so my son can break in that seat!
@@mxengineer1 there ya go
Amazing bike
It sure is!
Nice wheelie 🚀
Thanks! 😁
I really like your bike reviews, and the fact that you arent a total Orange Snob. I would never own a KTM, but appreciate their tech in the past of making the 4t's run great being quiet and the injected 2t's.
Glad you like the channel! I like all bikes!
Hi, did you fit that seat cover to the new seat or did you by the Selle as a complete seat? Thanks for the vids…picking one up in 2 weeks!
The stock seat was too hard - needs broken in so I took the broken in seat from my 22.5 450 Factory Edition and put it on the 300XC. Now my son can break in the 300XC seat on the 450 FE;)
That comes with 14/49 final drive gearing. Is it too tall?
I really like the 23/24 300XC stock gearing. 1st is low enough for trials like tight stuff and 2nd/3rd are close. On the moto track 3rd in corners and 4th on straights. The new 300XC gear ratios are lower and closer - no gaps. My 23 300XC Does is All video....stock gearing is versatile,,, ruclips.net/video/VL5NPXdHbjc/видео.html
Has the idle settled down a bit ? sounded quite high in the first ride. I think you commented on it as well... The 350 definitely sounds lathargic after you get used to listening to one of these zing! Reminds me of the old DT/WR200 days.
The idle on my '21 300XCW has always been consistent and very low. I find the TBI idles a little higher but often when I let it idle for say over 30 seconds it does drop a few RPM. Not an issue - just something I noticed. And yes the TBI 300 engine makes a lot of power/torque with very little throttle opening and it does make the 4-stroke response seem slow(!!)
What color is the gnarly map and the more linear map? White or Green?
White is the stock map, green is the aggressive map. I tend to ride the green map all the time as I like the stronger partial throttle roll on torque feel and it is still very controllable. Maybe you saw my first '23 300XC Does it All review - slow riding to fast riding all done in Map 2 green... ruclips.net/video/VL5NPXdHbjc/видео.html
Not my idea of a tight enduro trail, but the bike does run nice.
Maybe this trail is more like what you ride? ruclips.net/video/Q4fwXKs1hz0/видео.html
With the lower gearing does it have the gap between second and third like some people gripe about with the XC-W?
I could notice the gap on my '21 300XCW but mostly in 2nd is a tick too low at times on the trail - the engine is too bursty and I preferred the slightly taller 2nd gear on the old XC transmission. I have ridden my '23 300XC on a lot of trails and now a moto track and I have no issues with the new transmission ratios. On the trails I short shift to 3rd on my '23 300XC more than I do on my 300XCW Erzberg and on the track I use 3rd and 4th on the 300XC. The new TBI engine is very strong down low and runs smoothly down low...maybe that makes up for the new ratios?
It always runs clean.
Love it.
Yes that is what I like about fuel injected 2-strokes
what Sprocket combo comes stock?
14/49
Done your first oil change yet ? Figured mine out she’s good now I think. Dealer was running it rich . Wondering what hour to start thinking about changing the break in oil
I've have 3.4 hours on mine now. Probably change the transmission oil around 6~8 hours. I run the recommended 60:1 Motorex 2-stroke oil/gas mix
Looks like a 2023 to me.
Yes it is a 2023 KTM 300XC...the 300XC is so fast it compresses time and space between corners and I forget what year it is!;)
I haven't seen any of these new bikes at any store
At least around here in Ohio most had deposits and were presold before they hit the dealers so they do not make it to the showroom floor
@@mxengineer1 ...Yes, I called one dealer that wanted a deposit of 200.00 and a price of 12348.00 out the door . I 'm not sure that is a fair price because they list for 11099.00 and we have a sale tax of 6%
@@goodboyringo9716'23 KTM 300XC MSRP is $11,099 + $535 shipping + $200 set up (est) + doc fees (usually around $100~200) plus sale tax. Your OTD price of 12,348 is close to 11,099 + 535 + 6% tax.
