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.

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.

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.

Future of supercross. Can't wait!

Moto heaven with all those brand new bikes and Chad putting them to the test. That's so badass, Chad! Safe travels home!

Chad was smiling like a kid on Christmas morning.

The 300 definitely has a distinctive sound. It has a throatier sound than the 250.

[toddgibbons]

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!

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

[fugginrambo]

Awesome Chad! Keep the 2 strokes alive !

[DonnyBerger]

Be sick if he raced that in the World Supercross series!!!

[dunichtich]

I'd realy love to see someone run a 300SX EFI in a pro Motocross or Supercross race 😁

[peaceprayer]

Really love you Chad. Keep going brother! 💪

[raphaelwolff]

Great vlog Chad, looks like a killa bike and once you can get one and trick it up keen too see what it can do, safe travels back to AUS.

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.

They need to let this run against the 450s but the 4 stroke people will cry if they do

[kevinsnow]

I love 2 strokes . And I would LOVE to ride that bike !! Looks like it absolutely rips ! Great video and insight chad .

[marcmarechal]

Awesome, can’t wait to see you build that sx300

[malky]

The hype is real. Welcome home again Reedy 🇦🇺

[leonreed]

I'm sure the video doesn't do the bike justice but you can tell it runs very well
