KTM 300 EXC HardEnduro 2026 — Specifications

The enduro is a discipline where surprises and difficulties can escalate. For those who dominate the terrain, you need a weapon – one that pushes nature beyond its hostility. For 2026, the KTM 300 EXC HARDENDURO benefits from significant updates, with substantial improvements to the suspension, cooling system, and overall design, aiming to further strengthen its dominance on the most challenging terrains.

Since its launch in 2024, the KTM 300 EXC HARDENDURO has become the flagship model of the Katoche Enduro range, bringing the expertise of the KTM Factory Racing team and a heritage of champions to production models.

As the ultimate Enduro competition motorcycle, the 2026 300 EXC HARDENDURO receives a new design, with the iconic KTM orange accentuated by a palette of white and black colors, a bright orange frame, and anodized orange PowerParts.

Technical updates will excite extreme enduro fans, starting with the 48 mm WP XACT Closed Cartridge fork, including basevalve preload adjustment, as well as the updated WP XPLOR PDS shock to keep the entire assembly perfectly balanced.

The fork receives new damping settings, lighter and shorter springs, as well as a new pressure reservoir adapted to the new geometry of the spring support. A new monoblock hydro-stop completes the front fork improvements, also allowing an overall weight gain of 200 grams.

Regarding fuel supply, a new protective cap is added to the CPC connector, offering not only better protection against external damage, but also preventing dust from entering the sides of the connector.

The cooling system has also been improved thanks to a new screw-on radiator cap, facilitating faster opening, with a radiator fan installed as standard equipment.

As its name suggests, the HARDENDURO is designed to tackle the most difficult terrains, with a series of specific HARDENDURO parts that distinguish it from the rest of the KTM Enduro range.

The KTM 300 EXC HARDENDURO 2026 is the result of many years of development and high-level Hard Enduro competitions, bringing dynamic racing performance, a studied ergonomics, and cutting-edge technology right from the starting line, with Euro 5+ homologation.
