So the 300 has always been this way. A very torquey low to mid bike. Its why for decades now its been the choice of off road racers worldwide, even with the carb. The MX crowd is now about to discover the bike that literally built KTM as we know it.
Id like to see him ride it back to back with a 300 2s carb machine and then compare
its great to see
Cant wait to see how to Moto community digs it 👊🏻
Can’t wait to get mine and see how it compares to my 2015 300EXC with SXS kit bits, FMF and 38HV Lectron. The 450’s are easier to ride in the dunes but they’re nowhere near as fun. 😎🤙
@@klappy803 Unfortunately there isn't a 300 KTM Carbed MX bike from Factory. Hed be comparing it to Cross Country and Enduro hikes. And that isnt exactly an even test
world supercross should take the opportunity to have their rules allow 300s in the premier class and larger two stroke displacement for the 250 class.
They need to let this run against the 450s but the 4 stroke people will cry if they do
*Honda* Actually
They still do not compare it’s funny that only internet people still believe 2 strokes are faster actually ride them and you will know better.
@@jonruger I'm no pro on an MX track, I race XC. But of my bikes my lap times from slowest to fastest are 300 2t, 250 4t, 450 4t, 250 2t. The 300 could be faster, but it's set up for hard Enduro. I could see where a 450 outshines a 2 stroke in SX
@@jonruger Just sucks that the option isn't there to run a 250 2t with 250 4t. A laid out privateer 250 2t is a lot less cost and overhead than a 250 4t of comparable spec.
Hopefully!!
It's a 2 stroke with a very wide usable powerband!! this should scare every 4 stroke out there. imagine if they put a couple top riders on these. it would embarrass a entire field of 450's
The 450s still make considerably more power with a still wider power band. KTM claims 57 crank horsepower on the new 300sx and the new 450s are making that much power or more at the rear wheel on the dyno. Heck my old ass 2013 YZ450f made 55 wheel horsepower on a mustang dyno
If you made it a 350-400 and brought R.C. Lol. I love two strokes tho...
@@kelceyk8199 buddy the new 450s make 53hp…
No it wouldn’t. 450’s are still much more usable bikes. 2 strokes are fun bikes and so nostalgic but 4 stroke technology has long surpassed what is possible with 2 strokes for motocross bikes.
@@justgowithitmotosyle1120 maybe in 2008.🤣
A big thing everyone is forgetting is the electronically controlled power valve on the new ktms. The fuel injection is a small part of the big picture, the power valve having basically an infinite adjustment from 0-100% using an electric motor allows the powerband to be extremely linear. Check the vital dyno video out and like they say in the video, you can literally put a straight edge on the dyno graph because the powerr valve motor can adjust the exhaust port timing all the way through the power curve instead of it just snapping open like the mechanical designs we used for 20 years and the fuel mapping is perfected from the factory for precise fueling for the timing. The Honda cr250 with the RC valve was onto something unfortunately Honda was already moved on to 4 strokes and never perfected the design and implementation. Oh well, ktm to save the day until the electric bikes take over everything lol. Chad made that bike look great.
The 300 definitely has a distinctive sound. It has a throatier sound than the 250.
Chad was smiling like a kid on Christmas morning.
Like a kid in the candy store 😂
Slightly more hp and torque than a 450. 10 pounds lighter. Easier to use in the corner. I'd say this thing is on par with a 450. Only disadvantage is the rider not being used to riding the bike the way it wants to be ridden.
I'd realy love to see someone run a 300SX EFI in a pro Motocross or Supercross race 😁
AMA wouldn’t go for it
@@spoils2873 why wouldn’t they ?
Stank dog might do it
@@mikeyates4281 Hopefully he will 😁
@@dunichtich100 they just need an open smoker class
I had the 1st tpi 300 husky in 2017, what an Enduro bike , they are like mountain goats 🐐 , can’t wait to see the 300 project, will you ride it in the world sx ???
I have a 21tpi with high comp head. Can't wait for my TBI husky to come in this Oct November
U should go back to 2 stroke and stop with 4 stroke
Moto heaven with all those brand new bikes and Chad putting them to the test. That's so badass, Chad! Safe travels home!
Thanks bro!!
Just shows the 450 class should be changed to an open class. Anything with two wheels you got the balls to bring to the track. 4 stroke, 2 stroke, electric, etc.
Electric 🤢🤢🤢
Eh then you will have the factory riders really really pull away from privateers
Be sick if he raced that in the World Supercross series!!!
The 300 could be a game changer for the privateers.
The industry alone, i hope they get permitted to race in the World Supercross Series
Future of supercross. Can't wait!
Hell yeah chad !! you look flipping great on that 300 2 stroke, it will be fantastic when you get yours and make it your own and turn it in to a full on works bike, hopefully you'll make it a staple for all your local races, thanks for helping all of us diehards bring the 2 stroke back strong, ROCK ON 22 !!!!! P.S they also make a 500 kit for that 300, it produces 63 rear wheel horse power. ;)
2 strokes make you a better rider in my opinion. Anybody can hop on a 4T and be a decent rider, but it takes more skill to be able to wring out those 2T’s. I’m a Japanese 2T fan. But the only choice is YAMAHA now.
Cheaper, easier to work on, sound is better.
Technology has come so far that idk why companies gave up on 2 stroke motors.
Are you referring to BRC?
@@Cycle9568 yes
@@jonathoncook8367 Do so research into why they stopped ! Nothing wrong with a 4T! Takes skill to ride both!! Did you actually watch vid, this 300 rides like a 4T
@@mixalis6168 yeah I just commented when I first clicked on it. If they stopped making 2 strokes because of some gays from the EPA… that’s stupid. Lol enlighten me on why we stopped!
Edit: But the power bands used to be worlds apart. 4T was a straight line power curve and the 2T was like an exponential power curve. I always liked the 2 strokes better. (Mostly cuz I can rebuild them when I mess something up lol)
I'm sure the video doesn't do the bike justice but you can tell it runs very well
No Jetts, 60:1 and you're good to go! I've called dealers already and they are booked with deposit's im still going to try to get my hands on one 😪
OMFG that intro of that song reminds me of a song back in the 90s CANT GET IT ARRGGHHHHHH just the first 3 secs, oh it's not a song but it's an instrumental and thay shout HEY , PLEASEE someone help😂😂😂😂
I love 2 strokes . And I would LOVE to ride that bike !! Looks like it absolutely rips ! Great video and insight chad .
It was a blast ripping the 2 stroke around 🔥
Awesome Chad! Keep the 2 strokes alive !
😎
Everyone going nuts for a 300 2T moto bike as if Beta didn't already do it two years ago.
Chads comments just sold a pile of 300s!!!
2019 six days for sale.i want 1!!
I’ve been waiting since the ktm preview show at red bud for Chad to ride the 300sx
Rad Chad
POV. Love it. More of that please.
300 sounds so sweet.. 2024 360sx now that would be possibly faster then a 450 4 strokes.
The hype is real. Welcome home again Reedy 🇦🇺
N stay there please his rudeness don't belong near my nephews.
Keep throwing money no thank u these are blowing up down here in Australia 🇦🇺 I would touch one
Awesome helmet cam footage😎👍
LOOKS FAST💯 OR IS IT THE OLD MAN MAKING IT GO FAST 😏🤟👍
Right You can actually race this thing on a Supercross track with the 450s & feels light can't wait for the improvement
Guys! No one really needs 4-strokes! Yes, lap times might be slower but the whole racing is just more exciting and cheaper with two-strokes.
While I was one who bought the early 4-strokes and love them, I can make the case that, if the AMA were more proactive 25 years ago and altered the legal displacements to 150cc (maybe 175) for the smaller class and 300cc for the premier class we would never have needed the thumpers.
It definitely sounds different. But it seems like it sounds a lot meaner than KTM's Enduro 300 2 stroke. The Enduro sounds anemic.
I feel like Chad misses the gnarlyness of the old 2 strokes. I’ve never rode a FI anything so idk. There is a HUGE difference between 90’s-early 00’s 4strokes and 2strokes.
If you ride fuel injection, the power delivery is very smooth, unlike two strokes without injection, that’s the best comparison I can give you.
if yamaha ever makes a efi YZ250 the motocross world will never fully recover.
Yesss chad first
Awesome, can’t wait to see you build that sx300
Idle adjustments are made on the throttle body.. not the throttle cable. Does he understand what he is riding lol.
I'm awestruck that someone with the number hours in the seat that Chad has (and at that level!!) is still so deeply and enthusiastically engaged in this sport!!
Truly an honour to watch you riding and your response to the '23 KTM 300 SX EFI!
Never understood why they make these bikes there is no class for them. I get the 300 for off-road but it never made sense to make an SX model
C'mon man, you don't need the music playing over the sound of the bike, it's not a 4 stroke!
Why would you play music over the beautiful sound of a 2 banga gigachad!?
Ktm is going to sale so many of these just cause of this video! I love it and I want one, coming from a 15 year always 250sx rider.
Looks pretty light. Stick in the ruts consistently.
I think it's under 220lbs listed.
💯
Chad heading to Australia to tie up some loose ends regarding riding in the Moto Des Nations i believe. Hope it comes off.
I love that there is an FI 2t 300 MX bike, but the fact that you can ride it like a 450 (lazy) kinda ruins it for me. I like that when I pass or am ahead of 450's on my 250 2t, I know I am working a LOT harder and have more skill than the 450 rider.
Music overly ✔️
Bike sounds not in sync ✔️
Who let the intern mix this
Sweetest sound in the world a 2 stroke dirtbike hell yea go old school
I had the opportunity to ride a TM 300MX, electronic powervalve and Lectron carb bike with a pipe and high comp head. It made really smooth, predictable, strong electric feeling power from bottom to top, no soft spots, no hit, no surprises, It was everything Honda was hoping for with their RC valve bikes years ago, Honda may have missed the mark, but the TM was amazing. I expect this KTM to be the same, electric feeling with no hit and no weak points in the power band, very raceable and energy sparing power delivery.
well, now we know where all the new KTMs are ... chad has them! lol
😂
So in other words it's like riding the old 500s. 2nd gear the entire track lol
nothin like some jenky music covering up a 2 stroke sound
There should be a map that makes it feel like an old 2 stroke. I love the rocket ship hard work 2 stroke technique. You have to work a lot harder but people know when that 2 stroke is screaming it’s being ripped
Hope everything is ok back home Chad!
Love two strokes. I want one of those 300sx but with a headlight on it for the desert!!
Great woods weapon
Must be the most fun bike out there
Why the speedups and slow down of the video speed in the corners?
Great looking bike I love my 300
Purchase my tickets for October
SX in Melbourne can’t wait to see you in action again. 🤙🏼
Why wouldn't they let the 300s run with the 450s I thought it was all about the cc's there's 250 2 Strokes racing my son in the Schoolboy class against the other 250 four strokes so I went out and bought my son a 250 2-stroke are the rules changing I don't get it
Enough with the annoying music, jeeze.............
Worst type of track to ride uh 2 stroke 🤣 burms are tour friends 🤘
Poor Chad, his just trying like he'll to Stay in the sport
I hate how they play music over the top , so you can’t hear theengine
go back on your yz 250 on it looks lot better
About damn time we got some chad reed gopro action!! Been loving the videos, that’s the only thing you’re missing is throw a GoPro on for your races and throw one on your kids - just an extra POV
Please Honda put one on a 450r frame.. please please
So, the 300 2 smoker in the World SX?
Aha, I doubt AMA allows it so a good point....would be cool to see in WSX!
Can't wait to see he send the 300 sx on quarter pipe or hits a giant dune bet that beast rips in the sand they definitely got the best man for the job testing that beast
I know I need to do more research on this but I assume it still runs on premix. That means that the fuel is injected into the crank case.
Is this a stepping stone to a full-on EFI that injects the fuel directly into the top of the cylinder? Meaning it won't need premix? It's a real shame
that 4 strokes took over when they did. Imagine how much further along 2 strokes would be now.
Yea they are premix with throttle body injection oppose to the tpi bikes which are transfer port injection
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Me and my brother love you
It is definitely not new technology for 2-strokes. Snowmobiles used this technology nearly 20 years ago and some have moved on to much more advanced injection technology and performance. Dirt bikes are nearly 20 years behind.
My next bike.
is it oil injected? i hate mixing oil and gas x_x
bring some warm clothes if you coming anywhere near Victoria doing nothing to pissing rain down here
I wonder where this or the 250sx would rate against your 04 Yamaha?
Easier to ride, less exciting, but easier.
I have heard nothing but great reviews regarding the new 300sx. It already makes me want to sell my 450 to get one. lol
But man most dealers are set with a lot of deposits already 😪
2 strokes are the way to go bro!!
if 300s were allowed against 450 this would bring the 2 strokes back in pro racing
I grew up on two strokes in the 70's...racing YZ100, YZ125's. My Dad was a rocket combustion chamber engineer at The Cape and did all my port work and custom expansion chamber design/manufacturing and was my chief tuner. He would always take the stock expansion chambers and redo them to be down swept as he said they had better sound wave harmonics when down swept. All of my bikes had great power but at a very narrow high rpm rev range.
300 feels like it's got a lot more power than the 250.
I said before that my 300 had plenty of over rev but it was bc it was low compression. Fixed that with new top, you don't really need over rev when you got the more broad power.
Broad and Consistent power especially with the TBI
Why do they insist on drowning out the beautiful engine sound with music? If I wanted to see Chad in a music video, I'd go to MTV.
This is pretty much a 3 stroke sounds like a 2 stroke and works like a 4 stroke.
To bad i didn't put a deposit earlier 😪.
I so wish Kawasaki had kept the KX500 and KDX200 around they were both great do it all bikes. I loved my ‘17 KTM 300 xcw once I figured out the suspension. To bad the idiots at the AMA felt the need to cripple 2stks in the MX word.
I miss the yz 250 pinned wide open on the pipe shit just dont get any better then that that 300 could never rev like that yz250
It's egochad again great.....
How long before it falls apart
I run a 300 tpi with medium compression head and ECU map and it's got plenty power so much better than from the factory
This new one is completely different. Ktm abandoned tpi. This new direct injection makes the power linear so four strokes can go to get it into the axx....
@@andreabrindesi6526 I know it was just a comment 👍
I have the same with the high comp head.. Have a deposit on the TX300
The factories won't allow it!
Factories run racing. So it's not REAL RACING. Its bs racing. Open the Nationals and Supercross to run what ya brung!
Keep up the good work guys
Your going to rock the place with a big win at home, I’m flying down from Sydney Chad remember lol 😂
Would love if 2 stroke internet warriors would get off of 250 smokers being as fast or faster than 450…. You all kill me. say your all about 2strokes but are your own worst enemy…. Maybe if you’d get off it more people would allow 250fs with 250 smokers like it should be…. The only people killing the 2 strokes these days are you guys you keep saying this crap… then here we are practically no 2 stroke has even made it in the top 15-20 in the past however many years in the nationals… just shut up already lol. 90% of four stroke guys I know could care less if a 250 smoker was in the 250 class. I don’t, but I certainly don’t think it’s fair in the 450 class Lolol.
realtalk: a 2023 KTM 300SX Fuel Injected Two Stroke kills every 450 ccm 4 stroke. And Im a 4 stroke pilot.
Should be allow to run the same amount of CC's in whatever division you're in. 250 2 strokes with 250 4 strokes, and 450 4 strokes with up to the same in 2 strokes! Its the same sht!
U would think we stopped riding 500cc because they were old man bikes a 300cc dialed E F i 2stroke in 300cc size should be a bike to compete against 4 strokes may kick up to 350cc...the 450s are way morethen we need...i was surprised after getting a chance to ride an 07 CRF 450s...oh yeah i had an ear to ear grin on my face a little more then a weekend rider needs...
Had a kx 300 93 very fun torquey bike would love to ride one of these ktms
God-bless hope all's well in Australia. Best wishes to you and your family you are loved.
Awesome stuff Reed! I would love to see this bike in the 450 class. Do you think the AMA will allow it in the future?
Long live the 2 stroke
