Hard UNduro
Австралия
Добавлен 8 сен 2023
G'day, Al and Furz here. We are two weekend warriors - installing, riding and testing all the parts that will get us out and riding a little easier, or for a little longer. This is Hard UNduro because we are as UNduro as it gets. We have both been riding dirt bikes for over 20 years and have been tinkering with them throughout. We are not pro riders, nor mechanics. This channel is our attempt to provide videos that we have searched for ourselves, including installing aftermarket parts, reviewing and testing some of our favourite additions to dirt bikes, and in large part our journey with a 2024 Beta Xtrainer 300. If you are like us, then come along for the ride and we hope you learn something, or at least you come and take the piss out of us in the comments. We hope you too get out on your 'mental health machines' as often as we do!

Today on Hard Unduro we test ride a Husqvarna FE 501 and our mate Richo rides the Beta Xtrainer 300 2-stroke for the first time. For most our our lives we have been 4-stoke riders owing everything from 250's to 450's, so it was a great chance to get on a modern 500 and see how far apart it is from a modern 2-stroke 300. Both of us were very surprised by what we found. Other Videos: ruclips.net/...

Two strokes don’t pop stall and have great low-end torque that and lower weight gives it the advantage in technical.
Most people get the 300, which means possible left over 250's that may have reduced price.
I really want one. Lots of tails and fire roads where i live.
Get on it!! Asap. Life's too short. Legend 👍
Need more of your videos love watching your content
Thanks heaps, we appreciate the comment. Yea we've been on a huge break but we will be back soon. Cheers again.
I'm going to get one and give a go. I feel like my health will hold me back but im going to have fun either way with a road legal dirt bike
Get into it! Just ride to your capability and watch the smile across your face grown. Legend. Cheers.
What an excellent tutorial. You are a very good instructor.👍
Thanks for the kind words 🙏 hope it helps. 🙏
What’s the verdict?
Check out the full video, we go into our thoughts and opinions. Cheers
The mx33 front tire sucks on those bikes change the tires you'll love it, also don't touch the suspension settings right away it will be stiff for a few hours until it's broken in then will be beautiful.
Agree re the mx33. This bike has easily done over 50hrs so the suspension was definately settled. Agree tho 10+hrs for new suspension to settle. Cheers.
I love watching your rides and reviews. You guys are so real, not like some who edit out the bits where they're stuck or having difficulty. Keep up the fun!. Thanks for sharing 😀
Thanks so much for the kind words and were grateful to have you here watching. Thanks 🙏 🤲
Thoughts on the te300 compared to the beta's previously ridden?
We have done a few videos talking a bit about it but the size of the Xtrainer suits Al and I love the fuel injected TBI. Neither of us really liked the RR much but we didn't really get to dial one in and ride with our custom settings. Again Carb vs Fuel injection. I would suggest ride them if you can. Also beta is WAY cheaper here. Cheers
Gday fella's, so whats choice between xtrainer or TE ? cheers
Honestly both amazing bikes. The beta is way cheaper. Beta is carb, TE is fuel injected. All depends on what you like the feel off. Xtrainer is amazing (especially when suspenion is done), it's the most fun forgiving lug machine ever and the smaller frame is confidence inspiring. The TE is smooth as butter and lugs hard. You definately need to test ride them. Good luck cheers.
Apart from single trails could I also use this bike on fire roads?
Definitely, although a 4 stroke may be better suited in some circumstances where your on constant speeds. Cheers
@HardUNduro sometimes between single trails i will have a few km of fire roads. Will the long fire roads at constant speed damage a 2 stroke engine?
I would suggest those joiner sections would be fine. Im.bk expert but i believe 2 strokes don't like sitting at the same rpm for a long time.
I came off a 2001 KTM 300EXC modified for racing to the 2024 TE 300 TBI . My old 300 was more powerful but a real open class beast. The 24 TE300 is soooo good . Great forks that other than oil level adjustment for better root feel and an Enduro Engineering seat mine is stock . Motor is super luggable . Literally can wheelie out of downhill rut for better line - no way on my old 300. Clutch feel is super precise and easy pull . The rear is unreal how well it tracks across slick , off camber roots . We get 50 inches of rain annually here in SC so its just awesome in slick and in super tight goat traiIs we have in enduros. Love the vids where GNCC types bash the bike . Helped me get a better deal on my bike . Oh I did add the Pro Circuit 304 spark arrestor which sounds a bit barkier than the Husky stock unit .
Legend. Yea the older carb bikes were violent! I had same experience and love the smooth lug beast and tbi now. Cheers.
Greetings from Ohio. Great video. Thanks, fellas.
Lets go Ohio!!! Legend. Thanks for watching cheers.
I’ve got over 200 hours on my 2024 TE 300 in hard enduro use. It’s the best 300 of the 5 new ones I’ve purchased. It’s also has the lowest stock seat height. I’m happy to see the Brembo brakes on the 2025 model. The Braketec’s weren’t bad, but Brembo is better.
Legend. Totally agree, my 25 is going to be a keeper for a long time i think. Cheers
So, not a good choice for crossing the Simpson desert then ? Any ideas on what the most economical 2 or 4 stroke dirtbike might be - CRF300 etc ?
Our mate has the CRF 300 Rally and it's an awesome touring bike. Even standard brilliant. Fuel injected so is good on the economy and service intervals are huge, I think 15k. check out itchyboots she went all over africa. All depends on what you want the bike for and how you are going to ride it. 👍 cheers
informative, thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks.
Props not the smartest move from husky to make the entire bike white
Haha so true! Cheers
Great video man. You guys sell yourself short. Looking at some of those climbs on video I felt sick to the stomach just looking at you guys ride them. As a former dirt biker I know it looks less intimidating on camera. You guys are more relatable than most dirt bike channels. Well done.
Thanks. We really enjoy trying new trails and having a crack. Any day on a dirt bike is a good day! Thanks for watching.
I went from a 2020 EXC 300 TPI to the 2024 TE 300 tbi so not like for like... I did however had 100+hs on the TPI and I had the suspension revalved and set up for my weight and did most of my riding on the Mitas double green with tubliss. Jumped on the TE300 '24 and the only thing I did to it was to change the clickers to Husky's soft settings. Straight away I felt incredibly comfortable with how the bike moved around! I still need to play around a bit with bars position but the suspension was very very close to dialed in and the bike felt way more planted than my TPI ever did. And that was on stock tires too. I missed the traction of the Mitas but other than that, no worries! The Husky sits 1" lower compared to the KTM which was confirmed by both dealer before I chose the Husky. I'm 179cm tall (5-9ish?) and a lower bike definitely helps. I had the low seat on the KTM and even got a low seat for the Husky but in all honesty, it might not even need it. I've only done 2.4hs on it as I had to wait for parts to arrive but other than the bike stalling a bit too much for my liking I'm over the moon with the bike(need to adjust idle/air screw). My main concern was the Braktech brakes but even those worked really well on my 1st go.
That's awesome.. I had the same experience with my 2020 ktm 300 exc tpi. I did all the TSP conversions on it which made it way better and mxtech lucky suspension but my new 2025 Husky TE300 is way better stock all round. And now having done the TSP remap etc it's again a lot better for me on white map. I'm about to do some suspension mods (probably Ktech revalve etc) but like you said stock is extremely good. The 2025 eith the brembo brakes was a must for me tho. Enjoy the ride and thanks for sharing..Cheers. 👍 💪
@@HardUNduro I was on the same boat re brembo brakes but so far no complaints. Again, only 2hs in so the jury is out on that one still. I got the '24 for $15.7 and the 25s were $19.2... I just couldn't justify the difference. There was even a TE Pro (brembos on that one) for $17.9 but I felt like if I really wanted I could always just change the calipers and I'd still be ahead. I can't wait to get the ERM and power valve cover but I want to do at least 20hs in stock form first so I'm able to tell the difference a little better. I'm currently resisting (barely) fitting a set of 216MX/216SX for the same reason. Not sure how long I'll endure the stock tires tho haha
Got to give it some gas in that mud and work it.
Spot on. Some days the skills just don't appear haha. Got to have a go at least. Cheers
People always complaining about TPI. I have a 23’ and love mine.
Totally agree. We've had a few tpi and know many that also do and zero issues. Like all things there will be some issue. I have to say i love the TBI way more over my TPI. Cheer legend.
Looks like the 300 has a lot heavier wheel weight
I mean I’m seeing like 100lbs difference between the riders.. sitting down also seemed to slow the two of you down as well
Yep.. these were two of our mates going for it on their bikes. Agree, sit less.
Days as slippery as these at 30:00 need a 2x2 system, but they are as rare as hens teeth.
Haha yea the old Christini awd system was certainly interesting. Seems they never really got it commercially viable sadly. Cheers Legend 🍻
would be good to mention which was which
Ktm is the first
17:50 screw that!
Haha yeah it was a pretty scary section. Shame cameras never show how steep something is. Thanks for watching!
Will you be getting the TSP head in the future? I’ve been looking at the ERM since it came out and am pretty much sold on it, but I really can’t wrap my head around a head insert that costs 220€ here in Europe
Hi Antonio. No We wont be doing the head. We talk about this in the intro chat but we did a head on a 2021 KTM300 and for us it was too much raw power. The ERM does exactly what we were after; To give us a smooth map with plenty of access to controllable power for us weekend warriors! However, if you are a gun rider that loves power on tap, then don't let us talk you out of the head. It just doesn't suit our riding. Cheers.
I went form a PDS to a linkage set up and I noticed the same thing, That harsh feel, almost falling into corners was from the PDS, much prefer the linkage set tup now !!
Hi Phillip, yeah it seems to be a very individual and riding style choice. Good to hear you have a set up you like!
Good to see some hours on the bike. Looked like a good hard ride.
It's such a great bike. Many hours to come!
Hit up Taco Moto Co here in the US. He has a good fix for your fuel issue.
Thank you for video, mate) very informative, also enjoyed checking out your ride locations)
Thanks so much for watching, greatly appreciated. Cheers
Hey guys I've been searching for a low bar like you mentioned 27mm do you have a link or shop you got them from ? Live over on the Sunshine Coast and no one seems to stock them that low Cheers for any help
Hi Mate. Astra have good low bars but hard to find. Mine is the pro taper steering damper low (or close to that name) o actually think it may be more around 32.
If you get a chance give a R&Duro EZ clutch a go. Way better engagement feel than the clake. It’s a simpler mechanical design and very adjustable. It uses the standard Brembo hydraulics so is a nice simple unit.
Thanks..I have seen them online but sadly never seen any on any bikes around here. I would love to have a go to see what the difference is like. Cheers.
Nice! Can you please tell me the reference of your Altrider Lowering kit. I want one for my bike but i need the correct one.
It will depend on what model and yes your bike is. The 25 husky has a different bolt size to the 24 for example. In the description we added a link to the product page. It can be a bit confusing but they are excellent with selling out. What bike do you want it for? Thanks.
@@HardUNduro thank you for the quick reply. But i really appreciate if you can help me here, my bike is a 2025 Husqvarna TE-300 as yours I believe, but i am having some difficulty selecting the correct part, if you could send the reference part you have used, it would help!
Mine has a 15mm pivot bolt bolt. But I would 100% measure yours to check, you never know if they mixed them up or Australia batches may differ from US etc. Hope this helps.
Mine has the same 15mm bolt, I already measured it, 100% positive it’s the same as yours, that’s why I would appreciate your help if you can just give your part number. Obviously it’s my responsibility.
The 15mm Pivot Bolt part number is KT16-6-2202. Cheers.
Greasy clay, roots and deep ruts. Ugh!!
It was a very fun but challenging day out! Thanks for watching.
Where abouts are you riding paddy swamp ?
Hi Mate. We dont usually say exactly where we ride for obvious reasons, but if you know, you know. Thanks for watching. 👍 💪
@@HardUNduro yeah 100% I feel ya might come across ya one day enjoy the ridding boys
100% definately say g'day and jump on board. The more muddy guys the better. See you out there. Cheers
Great content. Keep it up.
Thanks, Mate. Appreciate it. 👍
Hard to appreciate just how slippery and narly that stuff is. Well done guys, keep it up!
Haha yeah that clay was horrendous. But still good fun!
Nice video, looked very greasy.
Thanks. Yes the clay was super greasy.
Al looks way too comfortable on the Husky TBI. Maybe trading in the Xtrainer soon???
Haha nah, I love the compact frame too much! Amazing bike though.

Niestety Beta xtraier 2023 ma bardzo dużą wadę silnika ! D wszyscy pozbywaja się tego motocykla zanim zrobią 60 mtg
What's the defect? We have had no issues and haven't heard anything. The 24 seems fine. Cheers
im going to local Husqvarna dealership now (Matt Jones) and see what the go is on what I was told last week ($70k this fortnight on 40th anniversary bikes so REALLY bad timing for the 300 but money isn't an issue sort of lol)
I think there's something lost in translation here haha which bikes are you referring to? Cheers.
Sorry I'm looking at the 300 pro and have recently purchased a few 40th anniversary Kawasaki ninja. I'm selling the zx6r 40th and will be getting the 300. I'm getting it lowered also. I'm 44 and never been off road riding so I can't wait
@@HardUNduroI was too excited reading my comments lol
Also where do you take them to ride. (Newbie here)
Depends on what area you are in?
@@HardUNdurosorry for delay. I live in Victoria Keilor Downs 3038 (currently Melton 3337)
Also my dealer saying 1mth warranty. I thought being a dual sport (buying with road reg) it should have a 6mth warranty. Any information appreciated
I believe it's 3 months (or 6) if you get your first service done at the dealer. Also may vary greatly from country to country.
It’s a whopping 30 days which is bullshit for a $13k bike 😡😡
10000% agree is a disgrace.
Saw one at dealership and damn im short. Wife grounds and rubds it in. Im worried about the road kms as im in Melton so I need to travel and no trailer for towing
Haha Yes you will destroy the knobbies. I wouldn't ride any real distance on the road. The husky is at least shorter than the ktm haha
I tried the xtrainer around my private north eastern woods loop I didn’t even make it to the 2nd section that thing nose dives hard for me I’m around 160/71kg?(not a natural metric system guy). The rider triangle is wrong on the xtrainer too, I also ride my good buddy’s 200rr with revolved Sachs fork and I can ride really fast through heavy rock gardens or fast single track on that no issue. The RR series geometry is setup really well, instantly putts you in correct attack position. I wouldn’t recommend the xtrainer for anyone who is over 5’7 and 140/68kg. It’s truly abysmal that they don’t putt compression base valve in those forks it wouldn’t cost them that much more at all.
Yea the standard suspension is not good at all. We did the DFX kit all round and it transformed the bike. Excellent slow technical trail bike once set-up right tho. Cheers 👍
I have a 2024 get the lowering kit it's life changing
I'll definitely need that 😂 29" inseam. I'll also need bar ends lol
I’m only 5’9” and think the height is perfect
