KTM 300 XC-W (2025 M.Y. demo ride)

This was one of my first two demo rides at this year's (2024) Corduroy event and it was one of my two favourites. I loved the handling, the power delivery, and the low-end torque. Also, the link-less PDS suspension is now very good. (Still not quite as good as the Yamaha KYB suspension but it's pretty close now.) I would probably make some minor set-up adjustments if this was my bike but I could comfortably ride and race this bike all day as is! There were no Betas or Shercos to try this year so if I had to choose one of the demo bike models to buy for myself, this or the 250 XC-W would be the one.

My other co-favourite was the 2025 M.Y. KTM 250 XC-W. I will be uploading videos of all eight bikes I demo'd soon and I will put links in a pinned first comment to this video.
