- I took the new 2023 KTM 250 XC out for its maiden voyage. I'll have a separate first impressions video up soon, but I figured I would share a little raw footage of some fun with my youngest son Ben chasing me around a little turn track in the Utah desert. This bike is fun!
If reincarnation exists I want to come back as a Knight, you guys have so much fun - that was a blast to watch 😂
Yep!! That looked fun as hell!
Great little track, awesome fun and great training - would love to ride there👍👍
Looks like a blast!
Yes it was Nate. This time of the year in the desert is great.
that looked like all day fun. 👊👊
Looks pretty damn fun
Have you guys tested them back to back? Curious to your thoughts.
We haven't tested them back to back, but my son (who has the Gas Gas 250) rode both bikes the same day. He didn't spend a great deal of time doing any type of formal comparison, but his observations were much as you would expect (250 2-stroke definitely feels faster, but in the hands of a capable rider, the 250f is every bit as fast as evidenced in this video of a small turn track, but the 250f has to be ridden aggressively).
That was fun to watch, thanks! I'm in the market for a new bike and pretty much always wrote off the austrian bikes bc of the air forks seemingly negative reputation. Lately here I've become more intrigued by them. What are you thoughts on the suspension? Also, what kind of reliability can be expected out of the gasgas (with proper maint. of course)? Thanks!
The 24's have now gone to a spring fork. Personally, for me, I've never had any major concerns with the air fork. I got mine revalved for my type of riding (after riding them for about 15 hours) and I still really like them. As for the GasGas, it's amazing how good and reliable those motors can be even for a 250F. The key is good air filter maintenance and regular oil changes.
@ridewithmike962 were you on the 250f in this vid? I'm thinking of grabbing a leftover 23 for the nicer chassis...motor has enough bottom?
That was cool!!!
Big kids! I love it. Unfortunately my wife doesn’t 😩🤣
listen to your wife as always and stay on your couch.
