Best for
Built specifically for competitive extreme enduro, hard enduro, and technical trail riding where minimal weight and maximum suspension travel matter most.
Built for
A purpose-built, race-derived two-stroke enduro weapon that feels sharp, explosive, and utterly focused on technical terrain rather than comfort or refinement.
Not ideal for
This is not the right choice for commuting, highway touring, carrying a passenger, or anyone seeking plush comfort and low maintenance.

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 960mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will not reach the ground comfortably on the 2012 KTM 300 EXC SixDays, with a cramped knee angle of around 85 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.
