We took delivery of a Chinese-built GPX TSE300R two-stroke a few weeks ago. The guys at USA Motortoys in Utah are the importers and architects of the GPX line. The TSE300 is miles ahead of the products that China was offering a few years ago. The fit and finish are excellent. The casting, machining and assembly can compare to any product produced elsewhere. But, it still has some issues. The most obvious is a lack of originality. The chassis is a dead ringer for a pre-2022 KTM 300XC-W. And, when you scratch the surface there are still some issues that become apparent.
The real reason that some of these issues exist is because the importer is trying to keep the price tag around the $7000 mark. The MSRP is $6899. That compares to $11,599 for a KTM 300 two-stroke. The GPX and KTM motors are both case-reed two-strokes with a bore and stroke of 72mm by 72mm. They both have counterbalancers, electric starters and hydraulic clutches. The current KTM has moved to fuel injection and an electronic power valve, whereas the GPX is still using a carburetor and a mechanical power valve driven by a ball-ramp governor.
