Wheel Swapping

Post by Ricktc »

Will a rear wheel from an '06 300xcw fit my '08 300 xcw? Thanks in advance.

I'm almost positive that it should be a direct fit. I originally bought my spare wheel set for my 07 300XC and currently use the same set for my 08 450 XCW.

As far as I know, it's kind of a universal thing for the last decade or so, but don't quote me on that.

Awesome, thanks guys! Swapping wheels is so much easier than changing tires before races!

I swap the wheels between my 08 300 XCW and Ian's 2006 250 XC. We also have a spare set of KTM rims/tires from 2008 that fit both.

I believe they are all compatible from 2003 onwards, the front axle changed from 2002 to 2003, and there might be some differences in the rear too.
