Whether you're a seasoned racer or an adventurous weekend warrior, this motorcycle promises to deliver an unmatched experience that reflects TM Racing's dedication to quality and performance.
At the heart of the MX 300 lies its robust 294cc single-cylinder, two-stroke engine, which is engineered to provide remarkable torque and acceleration. With a bore and stroke of 72mm x 72mm, this engine is not only powerful but also offers an exhilarating throttle response that riders will appreciate on tight trails and open tracks alike.

The Marzocchi USD front suspension with 50mm forks and the Sachs Boge rear suspension (with the optional Ohlins upgrade) ensure that the bike can handle rough terrains with ease, providing a smooth and stable ride. The braking system is equally impressive, showcasing a single disc setup with wave disks on both front and rear, paired with Nissin pumps and calipers for consistent and reliable stopping power. With a fuel capacity of 8.7 liters (2.30 gallons), the MX 300 is also well-suited for longer rides without frequent pit stops, allowing you to push your limits further.
