KTM 300 XC-W 2012 review

This week Wade reviews the brand new KTM 300 XC-W 2012. Once again KTM blew us away with the latest 300. A big thank you to Brian Capper for showing us how this bike should be ridden...

Greetings from the good old U.S.A. Thank you for the channel you have here and all of your work...How do you compare the GasGas 300 to the KTM 300 I own 2 06 gassers and have ridden a few of the old KTMs 300 , 07 I think...Pros and cons...Thanks in advance...God bless...

hey mr gasgas thanks for the question

I have been fortunate to have had both gas gas 300ec and ktm300xc-w from various years both are exceptional enduro machines pros and cons on these bikes in my opinion are as follows gas gas 300ec from 07 i believe they changed a great deal with a much needed subframe change and various other upgrades compared to a ktm300xc-w 07model they produced a better power delivery and suspension package (part1)

with the advent of the electric start on the 08 ktm the tables were in favour of the pumkin in 09 -10 gas gas chose to put sachs forks on wich in my opinion was a step backwards from 2011 with the return of marzzochis they were pretty much even, but fot 2012 ktm has raised the bar so we will have to see what gas gas does

I run a twin air filter and long with a twin air pre filter its helped my bike tremendously

[MrSaffa1]

When i ride at Maraisburg some of that fine minedump sand gets through my air cleaner and i can feel the fine particles on my finger tips when i rub my finger inside the air tube leading to the carb. Do you guys have any suggestions? I clean my air filter after every ride, first with parafine then soap and water, then i use a generous amount of foam filter oil but i still get mine dump sand coming through. Any advice?
