At the heart of the EC 300 lies a potent 293.2 ccm engine, featuring a 39 mm Dellorto throttle body fuel injection system that ensures seamless power delivery and impressive torque across the rev range. The 2-valve cylinder design and liquid cooling system keep the engine running efficiently, while the 6-speed gearbox provides riders with the versatility needed to conquer steep climbs and fast descents alike.

Equipped with advanced suspension technology, the EC 300 features WP XPLOR-USD front forks and a WP XACT Monoshock rear suspension, both providing an impressive 300 mm (11.8 inches) of travel to absorb bumps and enhance comfort during long rides. The braking system, featuring wave discs and Braktec hydraulics, delivers consistent stopping power, ensuring that riders can maintain control even in the most challenging conditions. The central double-cradle-type frame constructed from 25CrMo4 steel offers robustness without sacrificing agility, making the EC 300 a formidable contender in the enduro category. With an easy-to-use electric starter, this bike is designed for convenience, allowing riders to focus more on the journey and less on the logistics of starting their machine.
