2023 KTM 300 XC First Ride

My buddy Michael just picked up the first 2023 KTM 300 XC in Texas and he was kind enough to let me spin a couple of laps on the bike. The bike had one hour on it and was totally stock, Michael set the air pressure in the AER fork and sag was in the 105-110mm range but I didn't check prior to taking it out for a spin. Let me know what questions you have and I'll be happy to answer. This bike is absolutely incredible!

I'm sure the bike is awesome but I'm just in awe of the pace you were ripping! Damn dude, you were hauling!

I was lucky enough to get one last week. I got about 10 hours on it so far. The thing absolutely rips and I instantly felt comfortable on it. Everything works so well together and the suspension is surprisingly good for a stock setup. I'll probably never ride my 450 again!

Coming from someone as good as Cole, it must be a super beast of a bike!!! Wow, can't wait to get one.

I’ve been watching all the new videos of the 300. You were moving the fastest on one and it looks good. Thanks for the cool video guys

The handling looks like it’s really damn good. I got to ride a 2022 TPI 300xc at Ironman gncc this year (for one lap🤫) and instantly noticed the bike handled better than my 2017 crf450r, and the power was more manageable in the woods too. I loved how low i could lug the bike. I go Saturday to pick up my 2023 300xc and i can’t wait for that first rip

Man I love my new bike. They are so good.

[steelshotproductions]

Holy shit dude!!! You were killing it!!! I've been watching any/all 300 videos, waiting on my 300SX.

[LowTide_LowLife]

Ripping! Thanks for the video, excellent display of how badass this bike is.

[lowclassmediavideos]

Absolutely blasting through there! Sick bike!

[scottfast]

So good. Can’t wait until the 300 xcw comes out with TBI next summer. I’m IN !!!

Watching you rip on that bike made feel so slow that I now question whether or not I should own my 300 or even ride at all lol. Great video, wish I had access to that track, looks like a good spot to practice corners, thanks for sharing.

[stevedouglas]

The 2024 KTM 300 XC TBI is gonna have spring forks. 👍

[performancebasedheatingair]

Scooting along there pretty good. Ill have to live vicariously through you. In California these are only allowed on private property or circuit tracks. lol

[yfngme]

Nice video bro one of the few yt videos were there actually ripping on the bike 💪🏼💪🏼

[hivoltagentx]

I have to ask where you were riding, looks like an awesome place to practice. Thanks for the input, been thinking of breaking down and ordering the Husky version, but been nervous about pulling the trigger on a fuel injected bike, but sounds like they've took a step in the right direction.

GREAT RIDE!! Now I have to go spend $11k 😂

[SWFlowseeker]

Impressive bike..and impressive riding 🤙🏽

[rickstrom]

Nice riding that was impressive I wouldn't be comfortable riding a buddies bike that fast but whatever. Sounds like map 2 may be too much HP for that kind of track maybe map1 would make it a little easier to set for the turns but wow that was Sick!

[fiddler-twowheelin]

This video will sell 2023 300XCs. Nice ride!

[THMXCO]

Hey man, if you could only pick 1, 300 XC or 350 XC-F which would it be?
