  • Testing out the brand new KTM EXC 150 at hard enduro. Riding some challenging terrain with steep hills in the woods, rocky river beds and deep mud. The aim of this test is to see whether this 150cc engine is enough for someone to ride some crazy terrain and still manage to have fun.

      Very fun indeed but does like to spin up the wheel resulting in a lack of traction

    For slow climbs, rocky bits and what not on the 150, get out of 1st into 2nd if you can. That’s the trick. 1st is harder to use on them as it breaks traction. Rev it, but not quite into the band and feather clutch and keep it feathered. You’re really on the clutch with them. Plus if they bring one out a TSP kit transforms the bottom end power. I’m a newb and still learning the ropes but those tips on the 150 helped me loads.

  • @alexfeatherstone6676
    @alexfeatherstone6676 7 месяцев назад +4

    Midwest you mentioned that the bikr would either stall or rip the wheels, my solution for that was to gear down my 150xc and then just use 2nd gear. Alot of revs anf clutch slip means the engine doesn't stall and then also wont break traction.

    The 150 tbi needs a tsp kit 2 stroke performance are currently working on kit for them should make huge improvement over stock 150 your 150 tbi first I would recommend going up 2 teeth on rear sprocket or going done one size or front should make 2 -3rd gear more unable,

    you were talking about the height of the bike. im 5'7 you can do a 1in lowering kit for the front and a .5in lower seat and that would help wonders. It doesnt take away from the frontend at all in the slow stuff or the fast. For reference im an A rider

    I just tested yesterday my Hardenduro with 12t-50t sprockets instead of the stock 13-45. Conclusion: you don't need another bike whatsoever. Hardenduro: u can do a lot of stuff in 3rd gear and really steep-rocky sections in 2nd. You can lug over anything in 2nd. Trail riding just leave it in 3rd and never think of it. Clutch is light and you can ride all day and still feel your forearm.

    I think you should add a Rekluse auto clutch. Best thing I ever did to my Yamaha WR 450 and my Beta 300 RR. All my friends that try my bikes think the Rekluse is amazing. And no, I don’t work for them. As a contractor I can always appreciate a well designed tool that makes my job easier. Ignore the naysayers as they probably have never tried one, or are jealous because they can’t afford one. Best accessory I have ever used.

    • @MidWestMX

    I ride a 2003 ktm 200, looking to upgrade anyone know how this motor compares? I love the motor the rest of the bike is meh these days. wife has a 2018 husky 150. is this similar to that or more grunt like a 200? I'm thinking this bike or beta 200re. I ride single track and some private property basically set up like a hare scramble with whoops and 15ft table tops thrown in the mix. nothing technical just pretty aggressive.

    I'm around 70kg, and I feel like the 150 works great for me being a "lighter" person... granted I'm not very tall so I flop over a lot! But I do think the 150 works great for the smaller guys/gals out there.
