Two hours ago, Kraftfahrzeuge Trunkenpolz Mattighofen released a new nameplate to their lineup – a lean, hungry beastie, born and bred to pay homage to the world’s toughest hard enduro competitions.
Meet the 2024 300 EXC HARDENDURO. Approved by German hard enduro rider Manuel Lettenbichler himself, this variant knocks off the tippy-top of KTM’s Enduro range to sit pretty as punch in the number one slot.
KTM’s press release tell us that a base model 2024 300 EXC was dragged into the lab for the creation of the HARDENDURO, with the final result showing off useful morsels like “closed hand guards, clutch slave cylinder protection, composite skid plate and brake disc guards.”
The new chassis, closed cartridge suspension and novel Throttle Body Injection (TBI) tech also go a long way to improve handling, while fresh bodywork aids to give better reach n’ react positioning.
