Stock suspension will be good, especially once the entire bike "breaks in" after 8-10 hours...Find your favorite PSI in the forks and they're a click or two away from great as you acclimate to the air forks. At 207lbs, I'd throw a stiffer shock spring on and let it rip! Enjoy
Did you ride the sxf as well? How similar are the bikes on the the track? Debating between the two as I’m about 70 Moto/30 trail. Looks like you were getting around just fine on the “woods” bike 🤘🏻
Yes, I rode both the XCF's and SXF's. If you were 50/50 moto and trail, I'd say get the XCF. Since you're less than that however, it's hard to beat the SXF with just an 18" rear for 30% trail riding. If you can wait till 2024, I have a feeling the 6-speed XCF's will finally get the Quickshift function (wasn't available on the 2023's I've tested), and that would sway me to say XCF all day. It comes down to two things: What do you want and what actually works best for you! Most of us would be better off with the XCF, in all honesty...And it can get around plenty fast at the track...Cheers
Wish I could find a track that was empty to ride, anytime I go, there are 40 people zipping around, mix of A riders to D riders. not un at all. I have this same Bike, I went up 1 tooth in the rear, it is fantastic in the woods

I like the low decibels from the exhaust. Is the stock suspension adequate? (.I'm 6 ft. 207). Because of my age it'll be woods riding mostly.

what gear is on that bike in video? I have 2021 gasgas350 ex and had to change to 13/50 to get low end hit like I wanted
Standard gearing for 2023 is 14/47...More insight here: www.dirtrider.com/story/tests/ktm-350-xc-f-first-ride-review-2023/
