Is the 2020 KTM 150xc-w TPI a good bike?
What we came away with was—as with the 250 and 300cc TPI models—the 2020 150XC-W TPI is in a world all its own. The power characteristics are almost the complete opposite of the 150 MX model. The power comes on sooner down low, with much more torque out of the hole, pulls strong through the midrange and still has decent top end.
Why is the KTM 300 XC-W TPI so popular?
The popularity of the KTM 300 XC-W TPI machine revolves around its clean power—a smooth exhaust of tractable muscle that erupts with a vibration-free throb that allows it to make traction. That is certainly why the world’s best hard enduro racers not only praise it but make it their go-to steed in tough events.
What’s the price of a 2020 KTM 300?
It has tons of midrange power as well, but signs off on the top-end, so short-shifting is the most effective way to ride it.” The price tag of the 2020 KTM 300 XC TPI is a dollar short of five figures at $9,999.
What’s the difference between a KTM 150 and 150 MX?
The power characteristics are almost the complete opposite of the 150 MX model. The power comes on sooner down low, with much more torque out of the hole, pulls strong through the midrange and still has decent top end. We say it has decent top end because, compared to the 150 MX model that just screams on top, it signs off early.

What kind of power does a KTM 250 TPI have?
Much smoother, crisper power delivery at part throttle. Much less ‘pipe bang’… this is the annoying “dang, dang, dang” noise the engine makes on deceleration. Its generally harmless but very annoying and makes some stock TPI bikes unpleasant to ride at times.
How does fuel injection work on a KTM 150xc W TPI?
For the fuel-injected application, the cylinder features two domes that hold the fuel injectors, supplying fuel to the rear transfer ports. The downstream injection of the fuel mixes with the upstreaming air. This is the same system we have seen for the last few years on the 250cc and 300cc XC-W TPI models—just adapted to the 150cc model.
