- In this video I take my KTM 150 XC-W TPI 2020 on some local single track trails and hill climbs.
I'm no pro rider, but this bike has been so much fun to ride from taking it into the woods, trails, or hill climbs. It has taught me a lot about some good basic riding mechanics such as clutch control and modulation and gear selection. As you can see in this video, I have plenty more learning to do but I'm having a blast while doing it!
I hope you enjoy the video, and if you want to see more content like this then please like and subscribe!
I didn't expect to watch this whole vidoe but I appreciated your persistence and stuck it through to the end. You made it!
Thanks for sticking around and watching the video! That hill climb was definitely a fun progression.
I realize it is quite off topic but does anyone know a good place to stream newly released series online?
The eagles thought you might end up being trail kill at the top of that hill!! Fun watching your attempts. I couldn’t make it I know that. Riding ST at 60 takes a lot of effort but man it’s so worth it.
Used to ride pit bikes in there like 10+ years ago. Glad to see it's still there.
It's a pretty sweet spot 👍
Looks like so much fun. I wish I was riding there with you mate
Such a great sport. Stay tuned for more videos :)
Gotta pin it on those hills.
Most definitely. I have improved since this ride :)
Nice hill climb 🍻
Thanks!!!
Yo I got a 150 as well, that lack of low end torque is a killer for hills! Great job!!!
I agree, riding this bike side by side to a 300 there is no comparison when it comes to low end torque. However, there's no denying this 150 is a fun and capable machine :)
Exactly why I got the 250
@@MtnPeakEnduro did you end up getting a 150 or 300? Asking because I'm on the same decision.
@@MtnPeakEnduro I thought about Beta also, but I'm done with carb's. If your close to east Texas, there is a Beta demo on 12/4/21.
Power valve stuck half way and probity a failing CCPS thats why its so hard to ride smooth. Look at one of my videos, mine sounds totally different.
Thanks for the info
Hey I wanted to ask how the ktm 150 XC-w is treating you because I really thinking about get one and I hurt a lot of people say that the ktm 150 and do most the stuff that a ktm 250 can do it just take more work the bike makes you work harder for it then a 250
Hey Boo_Izzy, I am absolutely loving my 150. I chose this bike because I wanted to improve my skills (clutch control, gear selection etc.) and I have zero regrets. Every time I have failed a line it's been because I lack the skill, not because the bike can't do it. However, a 250 or 300 will have more grunt and will be more forgiving to rider mistakes.
Yo Bro,
I Would ride with you here Every Easter, Every Year!!!
Sick ass not give up Hill Climb!
Have a 350 and want a 150 to throw around. Worried about throttle response for hills like this.
This video does the bike no justice. I was quite new to the 150. 2nd gear pinned from the bottom would rip up this.
How’d you get on with the swap? I’m the other way round to you. Newb with a husky 150 considering a 350. I’ve hit a learning plateau with my 150. Love it but you need to be a good rider to ride the 150. I’m not. I’m fine with slow crawl hills that you can paddle up. I’m fine with hills that have a decent base that you can ride up gently. I’m stuffed with woodland steep boggy hills that are too steep to paddle up, ones with ruts at the bottom that need the bike on the pipe. With the 150 you have to have a lot of speed and/pr be on the pipe. The bike wants to constantly travel into the band. It all gets a bit crazy for me as I don’t really want to go up steep hills on the pipe as I’m learning and I spend a lot of time on the floor. I tried a 350F and couldn’t believe how different it was. So smooth and shit tonnes of torque useable low down. Linear throttle too which was ace for hills. My 150 is very snappy. Fun on flatter stuff, not so much for a newb with hills 😂
Awesome job.
Thanks!
just decided i want the 300 lol
Awesome choice. I'll get one some day :)
Right?! Lol
That super secret riding spot life tho.... 😂
This one is pretty cool :) Very close to home and great place to practice.
Ya gotta stop stabbing the throttle on that thing, its annoying. If youre gonna continue climbing hills, get in the freakin pipe and commit to the top. Not trying to be critical, but i know what that bike will do and you aint there yet. Maybe your a new rider and perhaps this is your first bike idk. At least youre not complaining like so many others so thats good.
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. This video is the first time I've done hill climbs on this bike, and it is also my first 2 stroke. The bike I rode previously was a TTR-125, so you can imagine how different they are. After reading some previous comments that were similar and reviewing my footage I've been pinning it more on hill climbs and have had better success. It's a learning process!
You gotta watch this guy's new video. So much better
Kusheen was here...
Want to get the husqvarna version of this as my first bike, I do a lot of Atv trail riding and want to get onto 2 wheels. Is it a good choice?
This is a great bike, I would recommend.
I’m thinking of using it as a dual-sport, more offroad than on, adding soft luggage like Giant Loop Coyote to light camp, to ride the TAT & BDRs. Right now I have a WR250r, but think I would like the same or more power with 100 less pounds. Does the subframe lend itself to adding soft luggage? Is there a larger gas tank available? Does it have robust enough electrics to handle more led lights and usb accessories? Do you think it would hold up on longer trips like that?
I appreciate your thoughts, it’s hard to find info on the 2020 & 2021s.
Thanks,
Drew
Hey drmayerr. I have zero dual-sport experience so I am probably not a great resource for you, but this may help. I can't imagine riding this 150 on a highway. In 6th gear totally pinned on concrete I bet it would cap out at 63 to 65mph.
@@206bGoss thanks, it looks like a blast to ride offroad for sure!
Dude you could have made it up that hill at the end way faster if you dumped the clutch and let it eat after that jump lol I am new too riding well was and I would hit hills sorta slow but I make it up them now just a little spread and momentum
Yeah, I can't wait to go back there. I'm 99% sure that with 1 year of riding under my belt since then I will shred this hill. Wide open 💪
Oregon city?
What state you in ?
All of my videos are filmed in Washington State 🤘
Have you done anything to the bike or is it stock?
The only changes I have made to the bike are a Midwest Mountain Engineering clutch lever, SXS Slide Plate, handlebar risers, and handlebar guards. Other than that the bike is stock.
Same bike I have, same stutter at partial throttle
@@tyleboyd i have the same bike i noticed this but realized that i am either in a gear too high or i am about to hit the powerband so i let off the throttle and go at it in a more consistent twist hope this helps!!
@@lmaoluc6242 yeah, I just ride around it. I adjusted my PV out one full turn. Wasn’t any easier to ride around the burble. One full turn in from stock and it’s way easier to avoid. From about 37mph on up I can BARELY accelerate and keep it smooth. It’s still frustrating on a 9k brand new bike.
@Dr Funke the newest idea for smooth running is directly connecting the crankcase vent to the ccps. (Taking ccps out of the tray) Who knows.
Come on men stop playing with your trottle it's a pain to hear and it's not nessesary at all except for burning more fuel for nothing
Thanks for your feedback. I'll be sure to keep blipping my throttle for no reason.
Only time I cringed at the throttle blipping was when you were going up the hills. Other than that whatever. Keep it in the power band the whole time up hill, those small bores need to be in the power to go up hills. Place looks pretty sweet to ride.
That makes sense, Justin. I'm still learning a lot about riding, and hill climbs aren't something I get to practice too often. And yes, this place is pretty cool :)
@@206bGoss just grip the bike with your knees and be in the power at the bottom of the hill. 👍
@@J2rcracing gotta see this guy's new video. So much better
Where are you riding at?
Super secret sneaky squirrel spot.
@@206bGoss in all seriousness I like the trails and would like to know where it is.
Where is this
This is in Washington State.
So slow
Speed kills
