These early KTM motors had 297 cc displacement with 72 mm x 73 mm bore/stroke. Still the 300 hadn't reached its full potential. The bike was also offered as the 300 DMX, a California desert version. Back then the 300 had torque at low revs. It still has torque at low revs, but all that evolving has turned the 297cc engine into a more motocross-style powerplant with a BFM and a top-end that tends to drop off at the extreme end of the rev range, although experts are the only ones likely to complain about that.

The 300 EXC will reign supreme for many more seasons to come, thanks to its engine’s all-new architecture with a new shaft arrangement for better mass centralization, a new cylinder with twin-valve controlled power valve, a new counter balance shaft for less engine vibrations, a new well-integrated electric starter, a reworked 6-speed transmission and a hydraulically operated DDS clutch.
