Interesting take on all the models... Makes me want to try the 250 four stroke.
Definitely worth a try :)
I ride the 250 exc-f.... He is pretty spot on with his review of it. Very fun and easy bike to ride!!!
If your average moving speed is 25-40kph a 250 4 stroke is a dream machine.
You have to have the ego to watch the big bores fly by on the gravel roads.
I am 15 and ride 350 husky I think the 250 does not have enough balls go with the 350 it is better
my mate and i got a 250 exc and 250 excf 2017 at the same time. both ride very similar. the f revs out very hard like the two stroke. slight difference in engine breaking as expected otherwise its just the noise it makes. the excf is very under rated especially in aus where plenty of people opt for a 450. very light easy bike. not the same torque as a 450 but rides a lot like the exc.
Well done....I have a 2008
530 xcw r & love it for on road / off road. To me this is the ultimate dirt bike & I am almost 73 yrs.
You've been putting out solid content regularly now. For sure earned a sub
Hello fellow riders. I have bought new a 2017 TE300, a 2019 TE 300i, a 2016 501, and a 2017 FE 250, and ridden them for thousands of miles, mostly mountain singletrack. They are all great bikes. I just traded the 250 4T for the 2019 300i. I carefully modded all the bikes for local conditions. The 300’s: the 2017 carbed bike is noticeably lighter. Both make the same power but the TPI bike runs great all the time. The carbed bike is sensitive to elevation and temperature changes and requires rejetting for changing conditions. It also loads up, needs to be revved to “clean it out” to get max power, and stalls on steep downhills. Yes, I know how to jet..the front fork works better on the 2019 bike too: a little stiffer valving and better stability and bottoming resistance. The TPI makes the throttle response much more consistent at partial throttle conditions, like trying to find traction in 2nd gear in the rain..now the 2T bikes fueling is perfect all the time, just like the 4 T bikes. The extra weight is the cost. I loved my FE 250 4T bike and found it smoother and better handling than the more popular 350. But even geared way down to 12/52 it lacked the power and torque needed in 1st and 2nd gear hard enduro situations: boulder fields, steep climbs, super tight switchbacks, etc. On flatter terrain like this video it was great, but the 300’s are lighter and much more powerful: perfect for flying the front end anywhere, anytime, without needing to slip the clutch. Hope this helps.
Do you think it's risky to get a 300 for a beginner? I'm torn between the 250 2t and the 300 2t.
I got a 250xc over a 300 really only because I was able to find a new 2019 for $1500 less. Everyone wants the 300, and once they all sell out the dealers reduce the 250s as the new model year becomes available. I love my 250. Stock gearing has plenty of power and I'm not a small guy. Then again I got the last of the carb bikes.
Love this sort of videos! Plz dont change the concept! Awesome video!
Just found your videos and I absolutely love them! Great review.
Tosi hyvää sisältöä mallistosta, kiitos videosta!
thanks for your honest review/opinion
dude i wanna test ride all the KTMs!
great review vid, I've had my heart set on buying a 500 for awhile now!
Love vids where there are comparisons... great video!
Thank´s for a interesting video, i´m currently riding 250-f 2018 and i´m loving it. I will wait for the 2020models!
Very good comparison. You are lucky to have had the opportunity top try out all bikes on the same track.
Had I had that opportunity, I may have ended up with the 300 2 stroke. But I ended up buying the 500 4 stroke.
I can say that I was glad in a recent desert trip for that "insane" power. But on the twisty stuff, I always suffer despite its low weight.
Good video, thanks
Your videos are amazing! Thanks!
Thank you Aleksi for sharing your ride and thoughts on these bikes. I am currently a 450 rider and yes it can wear you down quickly in hard-enduro sections but the power-on-tap is so much fun.
I ride a 2016 450 xcw for two years and it is great. I ride in the Canadian Rocky Mountains in single track that is actually narrow tight trails, these trails in this video are what my riding buddies call wide open quad tracks, tight trails you bang your bars off trees constantly.
Great Job. You have performed a super test riding. Congratulations 🎉
bullseye...different enduro videos! keep diggin it.
bro your vids are sooooo good!
Good job! Nice review. Thank you!
Great review man!
I love my Husky 250 tpi. No fuel mixing and always runs perfect! Nice and lightweight plus I don't stall it as easy as a 250 4t.
I really liked the 250 tpi when I had a demo model. I thought the power delivery was great and the bike ran perfect through the whole range of throttle. Still felt like a 2 stroke to me, just a little crisper.
Aleksi: excelente video, una ves más.
Muy buena, e imparcial información sobre estas excelentes motos.
En mi caso, sigo súper contento con mi TE300, 2017 a carburador.
Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷
Tykkään itse tosi paljon tästä sun kanavan "uudesta" versiosta! Nimittäin nyt niitä videoita on kyllä tullut tiukkaan tahtiin! Onnea tulevaisuuteen ja jaksamista. :)
Hieno kuulla! Mä tykkään tästä ni kyllä tätä jaksaa :) Kiitos paljon
Yo, I'm trying to get 1K subs...Check my channel for tons of moto content 🤘
I may have to try the 250 F. I always rode 2 strokes but they were all motocross versions and they can get away from you very easy in the woods. I purchased a used WR250 F and I loved how easy it was to ride but it was really under powered. I then purchased a used KX250F and fell instantly in love with it. Suspension was easy to adjust to my riding within a few rides. It handled everything in the woods and hill climbs with ease. Then when it came to purchasing a new bike my friends convinced me to go back to 2 stroke. I am a small guy and only weigh 125 lbs so I watched some reviews on the KTM 150 XCW. Did not like it at first but after a few months of riding it, as well as putting the high compression head, and the thinest cylinder base gasket to increase torque I really fell in love with this bike. However I am always on the pipe and that makes it a bit dangerous compared to all my friends that ride the KTM 300. It's a lot more work. Changing gears, up and down, although if you stay on the pipe I can ride 3rd almost all day, but it makes it a more dangerous. All that being said, I really need to get on a KTM 250 4 stroker. I find you can be lazy on a 4 stroke, be in the wrong gear, and just more usable power and not spinning my back wheel as much.
Very impressive video thank you!
One thing I noticed having owned two 500cc four stroke bikes and then going to a 300cc 2 stroke is that the four stroke push through rocky sections without deflecting too much and the weight helps it and so does the rotational forces of motor. The two stroke was much more enjoyable to ride and in technical sections the light weight was amazing and I would love to get a chance to ride one of these new injected bikes.
Very good demo, and safe advice, thanks. I used to ride a 450EXCF, for leisure off road, very torquy but heavier at end of the day. I now ride a 250WRF, lighter but missing low rev torque. I should try adifferent mapping and Akrapovic exhaust , or ... Go for the 250EXCF.
Great Video!!
love your videos love from México!
Great video :) really interesting
Great video!
Tested the 350 and the 300TPI, the 350 does the tight testtrack very well but after that run i tooked the 300TPI. It handled so great. Feels so Light. Very less clutchusing. I have to say that i'm a two stroke guy and my next bike should have to be a 4Stroke but after that, i will took a 2s again.
Good review.
Awesome video Aleksi, I'm riding a exc 125 and I'm having fun as hell. Always looking if a bigger could be nicer when I fail to predict gears so, nice information from you. keep up the good work!
Björn Bjering Can’t beat a 125!
Bigger bikes make you lazy. Riding a properly screaming 125 is always pleasure 👌
im getting the 250 exc f
and after your review i feel more confident
Best review ever
I had the chance to ride a 2018 300tpi model on an enduro tour and i was really impressed how it handles techincal sections like uphill over ruts or uphill streambeds with woods.
It really seems that the relative soft suspension was setted up for this kind of riding, i really had the feeling that i had much grip, with the clutch i had a good feeling and the motor pulls from very low without stalling. I have never driven a 4stroke ktm enduro but if they have the same behaviour like other 4strokes on very low rpm, on very technical sections you have big disadvantages. I really like 4strokes and their linear powerband and i can see that you like this 250 4stroke on that track. Greets from Austria
I tried Husqvarna 2019 FE350 and FE450. These things are so damn powerful! I ride easily japanese 450 motocrossers but this time it was like learning to ride again. The track was sandy and they were just digging in. I didn't like the suspension on the 450. It was just like you said in this video. I just haven't uploaded my video yet that you could see by yourself ;)
Great and un-biased comparrison Aleksi. The first in a whole series of TPI bikes it would seem yes ?. Good "work" :)
I just picked up the 2019 xcw 300 tpi. I haven't ridden in over 12 years. I gotta say this bike is really great. 4stroke hidden in a 2stroke. #braap
Nice video , very interesting
Awesome vid, man ;)
Thank you!
🔥🔥👌🏽 enjoyed
wow, I have an 18' 300 xc-w..Might have to get a 4t 250 now! life changing video! lol..
I don't blame you for choosing the 250 4 stroke... They're so much fun to ride. Feel super lightweight so they don't smash your body up and you can actually ride them hard when most others on the bigger bikes have to baby their motors for fear of launching into space.
I'm a bigger guy and yet it's the 250f's for me.
Well... soon there has been 2 years. Still like this. I do got a 2019 300 tpi. So pleased whit it. My goal is to do "battle of vikings" and "The bahusian" this year. after that, i will be back on 4stroke. :) Thanks for all the good content! keep it up!
great video, now i wanna try the 250 4t!!!
Same
I ride a 18 300 XCW 2-stroke but after this video I'm interested in trying out the 350 4-stroke
Excellent tribute to the benefits of a the smaller, lighter bikes.
How was the heat off the engine compartments between all of them? I'm going to assume the 250(2 stroke) 300 were lower?
New video = Like before watching
😍 Thanks! 🙏😂
Good vid, man Im tore I like 2 strokers, but I have been riding 4 strokes the last few years Im not into the tight shit I live in Alberta Canada with lots of room to ride lots of good hills which I love to ride I could spend all day riding a steep hillside, well most of the day anyway. The 2 stroke 300 xc-w right now is a great deal [2018] just not sure Im nearly 6 ft tall and weigh 210 pounds love 4 stroke power for the hills but these 450's take their toll on the old body at the end of the day, thinking of getting the 300 xc w whats your opinion on the hills for this bike will it get me to the top like a 450 4 stroker??
2strokeCarburator fan boi!
Lighter, more reliable, no oil changes, no valve checks 🤔
Elo Corns yes 4 strokes do eat money :p
hahaha...I'm trying to get 1K subs...Check my channel for tons of moto content 🤘
2 stroke only stopped riding 4 stoke in the 80s.
I do a lot of technical riding, but don´t like 2 strokes. What bike would you recommend for me? cheers :)
Aleksi, thanks for the video, very interesting to hear a counter view on the TPI bikes as everyone else seems to praise them. I never considered the 250 four stroke before this. As a 82Kilo hobby trail rider do you think the 250 4 stoke would be a good woods bike for me?
I tried EXC-250F, 350F and 300TPI and my favorite was the 250 four stroke. It was able to climb at low speed and had enough torque for my riding style. I am not aggressive rider so it fit me well and since we do not have massive long climbs like in Romania or Poland the 250F is enough. :D
Good info thanks
Just got a 2019 husky te250i. Same just with different brakes...
Cant say enough great things about it. I'm fairly new to dirt bikes but its obvious it is a much better bike than I am a rider. Only complaint so far is that a fouled a plug at 3.5hrs on motor.
Lol i have the ktm 500 exc f 2017 and i feel when you say its tiring but i ride street mostly so ya its perfect for me and also perform great on offroad and never has lack of power. Ktm is simply the best.
I ride a 2019 KTM1290R and it is the lightest of all the bikes you mentioned. ;-P
Any tips to help getting used to riding with motocrossboots? That would be another useful video!
My GOD Aleksi, have you tried a Freeride yet? I'm publishing a test ride video of one in a few days, and man, it was just amazing for a 250 4t...
Must be nice! Most people dont have the luxury to test ride ALL the brand new Ktm lineup to see what they like and what rides best for them. Great feedback on the lineup, I think Id go with the 350 but then again, im guessing :/
The weight difference between the 3 bikes isn't that much. The 250 EXC-F is 236 lbs. 350 is 237 lbs, and the 500 is 240 lbs. The handling characteristic your referring to is the gyroscopic influence of the larger piston. It may feel heavy to you, but Heavy isn't really The word for it.
PA SGT to me the 500 feels sluggish, but i think it has to do with the 500 makinf you more lazy in general. I was laughing my ass off on the 250 excf but on the 500 I was shaking hahahah
Ya the power is completely different. The five hundred is more suited to super aggressive light guys, and guys who weigh 200+ lbs I have the 350 and it's perfect. Enough torque to lug but enough power for my 180 weight and ability.
PA SGT a buddy of mine just won a hare scramble on a exc 500. Hes 16 years old, 76 kilos and 1.70 tall. To put it nicely, it looks fucking hilarious
mld Well, you only get a gyroscopic effect from things that revolve. So maybe the flywheels give you that, but the piston is reciprocating (going up and down) so no gyroscope there. Most gyroscopic effect on a motorcycle comes from the wheels. As the man says, you’ve just got to find the right bike for YOU, and go with it. All of these are much too fast for me!
Les
Completely true Les. When you do a long wheelie and the front wheel stops spinning suddenly your bike starts to act like a snake. ;)
What means to set propper suspension on bike?
I have an 01 250 EXC im fixin up !! BRAAAAP !
No 125 and 150 xc-w models :((
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
the 2016 exc is probably the best 2t endurobike ever built! newer models sorry but not so much! great video
Robert Forsberg I'd agree if you said the 2016 ktm 300 XC. The EXC still one of KTM's greatest bikes though.
I was very interested in your thoughts about the four stroke models. The 250 seems to be the best.
Maybe one day I will get the courage to buy a KTM. lol Finland! I have fam out there.
Do it CycleCruza! I have a WR250R, so tell me how the upgrade is.
Aww, now you made me regret getting my 2019 exc 250:(
250 TPi 👌
I race the 500 EXC and coming from motocross I really like it on trails also. When you need power it is just there to blip the throttle. But I think I will try the 350 or maybe even the 300 next time and see if I am faster on that one :)
Same, I am starting to believe a 350 or 300 might be a good fit for me now. Had my 500 for the last 3 years and it is great all around.
I tried the 2017 KTM 300 2 storke and what I noticed first was no vibrations, second thing was the lack of power compared to my old Yamaha WR450F... I did go for the 2019 KTM 500 EXC F and I am very happy with it. Feels like the 300 2T when riding slow but easier to control the power for someone who have not ridden 2 strokes for many years. The gyroscopic forces makes it harder to turn at speed but that is not big problem as I do not dare to go fast in turns anyway lol :)
well in phillipines we have d yamaha DT 125 mine is 19 years old...
it was already oil injected thu its an aircooled engine...
problem is no parts/repair kit sold for d oilpump so ive been premixing 4 a year now
It doesn’t matter the year model whether it’s a 525, 530, or 500 KTM’s 500 EXC models are the best dual sport bikes around, I can run 65 mph down gravel roads and get 50 miles per gallon, and then I can take it to the trails and it makes way more torque than most people need. These bikes are amazing
I would love to test the 250 four stroke - but buying new is sooo expensive
Not sure if 8-9000 Euros is a wise investment for a bike that is going to be dropped quite often :D
Good video. I were surprised he didn't prefer the 300 2- stroke.
That's not the best bike for everyone 😅👍
Love the husky 300i
I felt the same riding a 300 2018 tpi compared to my 2015 300 with a lectron carb mine felt wayyyy more powerful like chalk and cheese I do feel like the 2019 tpi got a lot better tho!
For me personally the TPI models, a specialty 250 are more predictable then carburetor version . I will choose 250 TPI for hobby ride and 300 TPI for racing.
That's a good point. They are easy to ride.
So these 2 strokes are street legal?
Good review. I have not ride tpi. I run a 2017 250 exc with green valve spring. Do you know which valve spring comes with 250 tpi 2019
gaston amenabar yellow in America. Its the best pv spring.
🙌Tuli kans käytyä koittaa nuo uudet kotarit.. ja ite tykkäsin tuosta 250tpi exc:stä eniten taittu hyvin ja tehoa sopivasti.. tuo 300tpi tuntu jotenki isolta ja raskaalta tuohon 250tpi verrattuna.. mutta joo kaasua vääntäes sillä ois oikeesti päässy vaikka maatakiertävälle radalle 🤣 vaikka tarjousta kysyinki 250tpi pyörästä niin pysyn silti vielä kawasakin leivissä💪😌
Way better rider than me. I'll tell the world.
Aggressive dirtbike :D !
Awsome
Ktm 300 is a 3stroke!!! Thats how it feels..best of both worlds!!
There's no such thing as 3 stroke
There is now
Of course it's the best bike on the market. It's a KTM!
Im buying my first bike and I think im buying a 250 4-stroke. Should be easy enough to ride, and not too big to start with, but also won’t get too boring quickly.
You won't be disappointed with a 250. If money is an issue the older Suzuki dr350's are great, it's what I started on, they are easy to work on and very reliable. I'd get a dual sport if I were you, they are the most fun bikes on the road and you can get from tail to trail easy enough. Good luck
I’ve got an ‘07 250xcf and can’t see ever selling it. It’s just an all around kinda bike for anyone to have fun on but it’ll still move if you want it too. Graham Jarvis can whip ass on a 250 4t. Most of the time it’s about what we want and not just what will get us by.
@@Sprnklrmn Yeah I got a fuel injected 250 Honda CRF and I'm definitely satisfied with it.
On the KTM website,the 250exc-f and 350exc-f have the same weights.(103 kilograms)But why do you say the 350 is much heavier than the 250? becaus of it's more powerful?
The moving mass inside the engine makes the bike feel heavier. And never trust those numbers. 😅
@@EnduroWithAlex yeah i know! thanks
why not 60 fps?
I ride a 2017 ktm 350 exc-f, awesome bike, I also have a 2016 ktm 200 xc-w. I have the best of both worlds. you need 2 bikes if you ride as much as I do.
Looks like 250exc is for me....sold my 2008 250xcw couple years ago and I’m die n to get back on the throttle afterMTB n
Love ktm..only problem is not that many dealerships in America.
Pam Simonson you're kidding right? KTM dealers all over the U.S.? What part of the United States are you talking about?
Versatile. Carbs rule)))👍
Exc =Xc w in USA or Xc ???
My wife likes the 250 4t as well......I prefer the 300 and 250 xc carb version....
I rode yester day the 300tpi from my Friend. I really didnt like it at all . Im never going to sell my Husaberg TE 300! 😁
Haha! Keep it running and stock those spare parts. :D
Aleksi Rinne For sure !:D
Thanks.JHB-SA.
