Best for
Built purely for serious enduro and trail riding, it excels at technical single-track, tight woods sections, and demanding terrain rather than any road-going use.
Built for
Its two-stroke engine gives a light, punchy, and revvy character with an eager, playful feel that thrives when pushed hard and flicked through tight terrain.
Not ideal for
This is not the right bike for commuters, passengers, long-distance tourers, or anyone wanting a comfortable, low-maintenance road-focused ride.

Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.

Will it fit you?

Worked out in your browser - nothing is sent to us
At 925mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will not reach the ground comfortably on the 2000 KTM 300 EXC, with a cramped knee angle of around 80 degrees and an upright riding position.

Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated. This is an approximation from category-typical geometry, not a measurement of this bike or of you - sit on one before you buy.
