Check out KTM's site and look at the "Better than Ever" KTM 300XC.

Particularly the optimized cylinder head!

It is going to be waaaaay faster now.

After further review it appears the entire XC line is getting this amazing top end modification. Unfortunately, from reviewing the pictures, they have withheld it from the XC-W lineup in 2014

The forks will now have compression and rebound adjustments easily reached on top, one on each side.....cool.

xc-w's always get the new stuff a year after the xc and sx models

By Jove, you're right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It looks like the 250SX is also getting the newly designed cylinder head for 2014!

I hope they don't do that upgrade to the XC-W line, It will ruin the character of the engine with that newly optimized combustion chamber shown in the pictures on the site.

they have to change something every year otherwise people wiont be interested. regardless if its a good change or not. i see theres a new gas cap again. what the hell was wrong with last years. it screws on and off, how much more time do they need to waste trying to improve the stupid cap. how about invest some effort into a new pipe thats worth a shit. now that would be something to talk about.

I think most people aren't getting it! People, take the time to click on the link posted by the OP and scroll over on the engine. If you still don't get it after that, I can't help you.

starting 2strokes is easy and doesnt need electric start imo.
