TM Racing 300 Fi 4 T MX

The 2017 TM Racing 300 Fi 4 T MX represents a focused entry in the competitive 300cc four-stroke motocross segment. As part of TM Racing's lineage of meticulously crafted dirt bikes, this model continued the brand's tradition of offering high-performance, boutique alternatives to the mainstream Japanese and Austrian manufacturers. In its class, it directly competed with established machines such as the KTM 250 SX-F (despite the displacement difference, often cross-shopped for power delivery) and the Yamaha YZ250F, aiming to carve out its niche with unique engineering and premium components.

At its heart, the 2017 TM Racing 300 Fi 4 T MX is powered by a potent 300.0 ccm (18.31 cubic inches) single-cylinder, four-stroke engine. This fuel-injected powerplant is designed for strong, usable power delivery across the rev range, making it suitable for a variety of motocross tracks and riding styles. The machine's fuel capacity stands at 8.20 litres (2.17 US gallons), providing adequate range for multiple motos or extended practice sessions without frequent refueling stops. This specific displacement positions it uniquely, offering more torque than typical 250cc four-strokes while still maintaining a manageable feel compared to larger open-class bikes.

Riding characteristics of the 300 Fi 4 T MX are distinctly race-oriented. The chassis is typically stiff and precise, providing excellent feedback and handling on challenging terrain. Suspension components, often high-end units from brands like Kayaba or Öhlins (depending on market and specific build), offer extensive adjustability to fine-tune the ride for rider weight and track conditions. The ergonomics are aggressive and track-focused, featuring a slim profile and a rider triangle designed to facilitate active body positioning and control during high-intensity motocross racing.

The TM Racing 300 Fi 4 T MX is primarily aimed at experienced motocross racers and serious enthusiasts who appreciate high-quality components, unique engineering, and a bike that feels distinct from mass-produced offerings. It's a machine for those who value precise handling and a powerful, yet controllable, four-stroke engine in a competitive package. While it demands a higher level of rider input and maintenance, its performance capabilities make it a rewarding choice for riders seeking an edge on the track.
