Pro-Action and TJ's Cycle...
Pro-Action and TJ's Cycle had the smarts to modify a KTM without getting carried away. Together they made strong points stronger, and didn't hurt the bike's inherent strengths.
Editor's Note
This year's Dirt Rider Torture Test was set up like a screening for a reality TV show: Bring what you have and prepare for whatever happens. The idea was to show up at the Torture Test with the best all-around, one-bike-does-it-all off-road dirt bike, with no guidelines or requirements from our side. It was wide open, but everyone knew going in that it would be tough to make the cut to get into the final group of bikes you see in the magazine. Of course, they didn't all make it to the pages of Dirt Rider. Some missed out ever so slightly, some by a longer ways. This is a full test of one of the bikes that made the final cut. The competition was tough but lurking in this field of bikes you can likely find an example of the perfect bike that fits your needs, or learn what other riders or people in the industry think is the best bike in the whole world. For the people and companies that built each of these bikes, it was the best bike they could deliver. -Jimmy Lewis, Editor Dirt Rider Magazine
The Pro-Action/TJ's Cycle 2009 KTM 300 XC was built to be one of the best all around motorcycles in today's market. Pro-Action took the already good KTM and set out to make it even better. The stock suspension was revalved to make it plush enough to soak up the small bumps while being aggressive enough to attack even the most miserable rough sections. The motor was ported to take the stock power spread and make it more usable for the rider and increase overall horsepower. This in conjunction with the help of some of our industry friends, we have put together what we feel is the best all around off road motorcycle.
