This bike has the WP XACT front forks, not the XPLOR. It’s the air fork.
Thanks for the video! There is a new EFI map update available from KTM the dealer can install (map number ends in 104) and perhaps it will fix the mid range stutter on you test bike (I've got about 14 hours on my '23 300XC and have not experienced any mid range stutter issue). These bikes come with a Dunlop AT81 rear tire and the MX33 front tire. Keep us updated on the mid range stutter issue.
I agree with you. I have a 2023 Husky TX300 with 20 hours on it and i have not experienced any midrange sputter or anything else. At least on my bike the mapping is perfect and the bike has no hesitation in any gear at any speed when hit the throttle. This is my two stroke dream bike i used to think about and would want out of a production motorcycle. Ive been riding dirt bikes since 1969 on a Honda Trail 50. Thanks for the Video😊
Thanks for breaking it down and letting us know the details. Always love the bike reviews you do. 💪😃👍
Glad you like them! I'm trying to get out and ride as much as possible! The review videos are really fun to do.
KTM has been the only one saving the 2 stroke. If you listen to how much things they do at the pro racing level they are insane, theirs a reason they're ready to race
cool drone action! were you able to resolve the mid-range dead spot?
I can’t say why bikes may be blowing up but I can say that warming up the engine completely before you ride is critical in preventing cold seizures.
Exactly, once warmed up thoroughly they last ages IMO too
KTM has dominated GNCC, Hard Enduro, Dakar, and just about every form of off road racing for a couple almost 20 years now.
They're leading the way in 2-stroke Fuel Injection technology.
They are far from perfect, but kudos to KTM for their technological advances
Yeah, I agree. KTM has been very innovative and different from other brands. They have made really fast bikes for a long time.
Nice video you always make great ones
Thanks! It’s good to know people like watching
Ya ! love the drone action!! 🔥🔥
This bike is a GNCC type race bike. Not a hard enduro or rock climber. The XC-W is for that... I have 8 hours on mine racing hare scrambles that are similar to GNCC and it is the best bike I've ever had. I'm coming from a 2019 350 XC-F
It’s definitely an XC (cross-country) model. The issue in mid range and how it runs in general are across all models, though. The piston on this model has been reported to have exploded into pieces many times already. Not good for XC racing which is a lot of what I do.
@@RacerRed I'm curious to see the piston failure data. Can you share your source data?
I am also switching from a 2021 350 XC-F to this bike for Hare Scramble and GNCC racing!
Front tire isn’t an AT81. The reason KTM became more successful is two fold:
1) as you say they have gained a lot of brand recognition in SX/MC through their success beginning in 2012 with Decoster and Dungey
2) equally if not more importantly though is that unlike the Japanese (except Yamaha using an old design with new stickers), KTM still not only offers a wide range of 2 strokes but is continuously developing them. Most riders prefer 2 strokes because they are more fun to ride and are cheaper to maintain and for the average hobby rider its about fun!
Great review man!
Beautiful bike.
It sure is!
Hello friend I congratulate you for the great video, I want to ask you, this model no longer brings the oil pump, in what percentage are you using the fuel and with what oil you do it.
Greetings, best regards
Excellent review. I'll be once you can ride that bike when it's warm and you can gel with it, you're going to love it. I think that bike really suits a good rider like yourself. I love the bike, best ever from KTM. EDIT: I went back in your vid and noticed you did have it in the green map. (Did you test the green map?) Can't wait to see when they have cooked up for the new W.
It was on green map during this test and still had the dead spot in midrange. That said, I still really like this bike! It’s light, and powerful.
Bought one and I am in eastern Idaho. Are you out at Rabbit Creek? Murphy? I only have .5 hrs on mine and need to test it out more!
The owyhee mountain range is good right now!
Cool bike! I will never be able to afford a "nice" bike like this :) I have about $1000 in my cheap chinese pit bike...but it fun none the less for trail riding.
As long as you are having fun! It really doesn’t matter if you have the latest and greatest.
@@RacerRed True!
For many occasional hobby riders it makes no sense to own one. Need to buy the bike, gear, transporter, have garage, and maintain it. The cost per use is very high. An alternative is going on enduro vacation, eg Costa Rica for Americans, or Romania for Europeans.
@@enduro-nuts someone who wants to do enduro vacation will likely be an enthusiast
Never say never!
I have a ktm 125 xc 2023, what time do you recommend that I leave it on while it is cold? and how many ounces of oil does gasoline take per gallon. They already give me a spark.
Get a ratio-rite and mix it 32:1 to be safe. Sounds like you need to talk to your dealer and have some questions answered about done of the basics but you are welcome to ask me any time as well. You should start your bike and let it idle for a couple minutes before riding it in my opinion
What single track is that?
Who's bike is it?
I heard that they went with some less than quality parts for the cylinder and piston and that quite a few of these bikes are blowing up with as little as a dozen hrs on them.
You sure thats not the 300 TPI models?
@@donmint7330 100%
I have been hearing about that! Seems pretty crazy to me. Lots of people have been breaking pistons
Sounds like an Internet fake news story to me. The only piston I've seen blow, is from Dirt Bike Rider and that guy - pretty much a joke. Can you share these "quite a few bikes are blowing up" stories with us please?
The weight is high? Maybe switch to a Husky 300 tx as maybe you know they lowered the suspension.
The Husky has linkage suspension still, I think. I like linkage but it’s more maintenance and it catches on stuff.
@@RacerRed 😆
I always said folks with money doesn't mean they have brains
@@RacerRed So does the XC ! What’s your point? They both have linkage.
Were you riding in the white map or the more aggressive green map. I notice the same midrange “issue” on the white map but not the green. 👍
While aware of the two maps, i was not aware of which map I was using during this video though I’d assume it wouldn’t default to a map that retards the timing of spark. It’s still an issue if that’s the case. A bike should not default to a rain/B/white mode.
@@RacerRed upon starting or restarting the bike it will stay in whatever map was previously used upon shutting the bike off. Not really a default. One of the few bikes where there is a noticeable difference between the maps. It not only effects timing but the power valve opening as well.
@@railduke68 I see. I’m pretty sure it was in the green map but I’d have to ride it again to be 100%.
@@railduke68 it was a really small issue, and it was really fast. If it was in white mode I’d be really impressed since it’s supposed to have way more power in green. It felt really powerful to me.
@@RacerRed I rewatched. You can see that you were in the green map at 1:54. Thanks!
I’m trying to decide between a 250 or 300XC.
Tough choice!
What's it cost 🤔 for a bike like that .
If u have to ask you normally can't afford it but I believe they are around 11,500
This looks like the owyhees in Idaho lol
Disappointing it still has the midrange stutter like the TPI. I can't stand that on TPIs.
Yeah, honestly it was a little disappointing to see that mid range thing still lingering. The pistons apparently explode into pieces now, too. I'd probably put a new piston in my bike if i bought one.
@@RacerRed LOL!!!!
What type of riding are you planning to do? I have no such experience in FL racing hare scrambles...
