+Nerb1 Yeah, the really good motocross riders there on the day LOVED it. So maybe for a numpty like me who can't ride it really hard, it's not the best. I know I would recommend whoever is interested in buying one to test ride one first, because they are very very different.
I would say it is a perfect bike to master wheelies and other stuff related to balance, in my opinion. I'm 1.7 m, 1 season on a bike, own a Yamaha WR 250 and it's a damn high stool for me, I just can't manage it on hills or any other situations where the length of a leg is so important
Hi man is the 350 any good for mx track riding. I sold my Suzuki RMZ 250 and am looking for a street legal bike to ride trails in the woods and some track riding is it comparable to the 250?
I'm glad to hear it wasn't just my Freeride that I found the clutch to be heavy as well. I own a 2017 Husqvarna FE250 with a Magura clutch and it's much lighter. I bought the Freeride new to practice but I'm finding slow technical riding too difficult on my clutch finger. It's a Formula clutch and I hope there's a solution to this before I decide to ditch this bike.
Yeah, very weird hey. For something that is supposed to be trials like, you would think they would have an ultra light clutch. You could possibly purchase something like the Clake light clutch or a Midwest Mountain Engineering clutch lever.
Interesting - I've no experience on dirt bikes but could get what you were saying - especially about the lack of power, that was actually coming across in the footage. More of a trails bike I'm guessing. RSM8.
+Hils Bayrak They are two very, very different bikes mate. I can only suggest you ride the FreeRide to see if you like it before purchasing. I thought I would like it, but I didn't.
+JoeJoe Moto haha yeah i considered going back to a four stoke the other day, but when i started my two smoker up again, i knew i was set on two strokes. braap
Well that was interesting. Most people love the bike. More food for thought.

Yeah, great points mate.

It's definitely not an MX bike at all. The Freeride is a trials cross enduro bike and not set up for that sort of thing at all.

I did order MME levers for my Husky so I’ll see what they’re like. The Clake is just way too expensive by the time I bring it up to Canada.

+CaptainCranky - Yeah, very underwhelming to ride, it really didn't have the smile factor. More suited to tight technical terrain and hill climbs etc.
Is the bike a good bike because I want to buy one of them or I can get a 250 exc 4 stroke instead of a freeride
+Hils Bayrak They are two very, very different bikes mate. I can only suggest you ride the FreeRide to see if you like it before purchasing. I thought I would like it, but I didn't.
Ok thanks
This is really not meant to be a track bike.
hahaha definitely not! I learnt that one pretty quick.
Different strokes for different folks, the freeride 350 definitely doesn't sound like the bike for you.
+Bikes & Drones Yep, I'm too big and unco I think for it.
NOOOO not the four strokes! haha cool vid
+Shortman Rides hahah don't worry. I am not easily swayed! 2 strokes 4 lyf! Unless it's a road bike....LOL
+JoeJoe Moto haha yeah i considered going back to a four stoke the other day, but when i started my two smoker up again, i knew i was set on two strokes. braap
+Shortman Rides For sure!
These things look like a lot of fun in small doses, not sure I could own one though.
+SAFF Yeah, they are "specific" bike kinda thing. You would only really use it for really tight and technical stuff. Not much fun on open trails.
Do you reckon they would be good for a younger or smaller rider?
+SAFF Yeah definitely!
Motor trail idaman.
Yep, for sure.
Hmmm interesting....
+Moto Tayls Yeah, very different bike.
