Used Buyer Review

The EC 300 is a proper weapon if you know what you're getting into. That two-stroke 300cc motor is genuinely savage — it'll launch you into trouble faster than you can think about it, and the power delivery is sharp enough to keep you honest on every ride. For tight technical enduro work or aggressive trail riding, nothing at this price point comes close. GasGas sorted out a lot of the earlier KTM-era teething issues by 2021, so the platform is reasonably solid now. Used examples have a rough life expectancy though. These bikes get flogged hard. Check the reed valves, inspect the expansion chamber for dents and rust, and pull the powervalve cover — if it's never been cleaned you'll find a graveyard of carbon deposits. Top end rebuilds are cheap enough on two-strokes but skipped maintenance is the real killer here. Ask for service history and if the seller laughs at you, walk away.
