2020 KTM UPDATES: 250 & 300 XC RANGE GET TPI
Yesterday, KTM revealed details around their cross-country, two-stroke range of dirt bikes - including extending their TPI range to include the 250 and 300 XC models. 2018 saw the EXC versions receive TPI but now it is starting to filter into other models. Check out the specs below for the all-new 2020 KTM 250/300XC TPI bikes.
2020 KTM 300XC TPI
Take the unrelenting ferocity of an SX bike, add a few extra horsepower and torque, a longer-range fuel tank and an 18” rear wheel to accommodate more rubber, and you’re well-armed to dominate the dirt. In a nutshell, the KTM 300 XC TPI is arguably the most accomplished cross-country racer available and now proudly adds TPI to its name and further demonstrates KTM’s unrelenting commitment to 2-stroke advancement.
Details
New TPI (Transfer Port Injection) fuel injection system featuring industry-leading technology offers unparallel performance and simple operation: no premixing or jetting required.
New ambient air pressure sensor for improved altitude compensation.
293.2cc engine is the pinnacle of two-stroke performance with lightweight construction and features New CNC exhaust port and port timing.
New exhaust system provides improved performance with reduced weight and a more durable construction thanks to the innovative corrugated surface on the expansion chamber.
New WP XACT front fork setting for improved damping, and New fork piston for improved performance. Features proven, sophisticated air spring design with separate damping functions.
New WP XACT rear shock setting and New compression adjuster for improved tuning.
Lightweight chromoly steel frame with optimized stiffness provides a great blend of comfort and stability.
Single-piece cast aluminum swingarm features a long rear axle slot for increased adjustability, offering better straight-line stability.

Air box and air boot designed to provide maximum protection of the air filter against soiling and better airflow for optimal performance. Air filter can be accessed without tools for quick servicing.
Hydraulic Brembo clutch system offers light operation and highly controllable modulation of the clutch.
Brembo brakes have always been standard equipment on KTM offroad bikes and are combined with lightweight Wave discs.
Handlebar clamps feature a separated lower clamp and bridge-type upper clamp for more torsional stiffness.
“No Dirt” foot peg design keeps the peg pivot from becoming clogged, ensuring the foot peg is always in the correct position.
Lightweight Galfer Wave rotors, CNC machined hubs, high-end Giant rims and Dunlop AT81 tires.
“No Dirt” shift lever prevents dirt from fouling the lever joint to ensure proper shifting in any condition.
Offroad specific additions such as hand guards, a side stand, oversized tank and an 18” rear wheel ensure the 2020 KTM XC TPI machines are Ready to Race.
Cylinder with twin-valve controlled power valve for smooth power that can be adjusted within seconds for different track conditions.
Lateral counter balancer reduces engine vibrations for less rider fatigue at the end of the moto.
Hydraulically operated DDS clutch features a damping system for better traction and durability.
New graphics for a Ready to Race appearance.

2020 KTM 250XC TPI
With enough power to excel on all sorts of tracks and terrain, combined with an extremely lightweight chassis, the KTM 250 XC TPI has one of the best power-to-weight ratios in its class. Now proudly including TPI to its name, the KTM 250 XC TPI further demonstrates KTM’s unrelenting commitment to 2-stroke advancement. The benefits are clear: besides huge improvements in fuel efficiency and exhaust emissions, the system also removes the need for pre-mixing fuel and re-jetting, meaning that with less effort, the engine always runs smoothly and crisply.
