Vehicle Information
KTM 300 DXC Dirt Bike (1990-1992)
The KTM 300 DXC, an iconic off-road motorcycle, was produced from 1990 to 1992, establishing itself as a formidable machine in the dirt bike category. Throughout these years, it consistently featured a 2-stroke engine with a 297 cc displacement, achieved by a 72 mm bore and 73 mm stroke. The 1992 DXC model was rated at 17 hp, though other 300 series variants could reach higher outputs. The DXC was one of several 300cc trims offered, alongside models like the EXC (Enduro Cross) and DMX (California desert version). Significant developments marked this period. The 1990 model year introduced the foundational 297cc engine, featuring updates to port layout, ignition timing, and carburetion. Further refinements in 1991 improved the power valve and cylinder porting for a broader torque curve. The 1992 model saw major upgrades, including a sealed, rebuildable cartridge design for the White Power 4057 fork, enhanced Brembo front braking, increased radiator volume, a stronger cylinder head, and revised ergonomics with wider foot pegs and a taller handlebar.
