After test driving a 2017 2 stroke KTM 300 EXC and found it lacking in power compared to my old Yamaha WR450 I ended up bying a brand new 2019 KTM 500 EXC F. I am starting to love the KTM more and more even if it is a beast if you give it throttle but it is also more gentle then the WR450 in spite of having more power :) The 2 stroke just did not come close to the raw power the big 4 strokes have at all rev ranges... It is true the 500 will make you smile :) It might not be the most practical one specially for a rider with little experience like me but it is fun fun fun :)

That's a realy interesting video and is nicely edited !
Thank you for the reviews.

I was expecting to 350 to be revving harder in this test, would've thought it should be the fastest on that particular circuit.

[TransylvaniaEnduro]

The new TPI are awsome, i use 300 TPI for 20 hours and it feels great, very good reaction of theottle, low fuel consumption, very very light at least that's how it feels !

[PNWEnduro]

Thanks for sharing, great video as usual. I'm looking forward to trying the tpi 2 strokes when they are more available in North America.

I got the 350f, its sick for the terrain here in Australia

[TheRIrider]

Great comparison video! What bike jumped in front of you at 10:36?

[TopEnduro]

Lefa is always on point also with these reviews! Anyway I still don't like a bunch of things about the new KTMs, especially the Xplor 48 forks (tried them and they are ridiculous, even my 2009 Marzocchi felt better) and the usage of cheap materials such as printed aluminium instead of ergal.
In addition, I personally prefer the carburetor over the injection system as I find it more reliable on the long term and less inclined to electrical failures... But I sadly have to recognise that's the evolution and the future of dirt riding.

Anyway awesome video ad usual, liked the color correction 😉

Still not happy about there being no 4 stroke XCF-W anymore. It was such a perfect bike for much of the US terrain. I guess I'll have to keep my '14 350 XCFW indefinitely.

[thyrcrew]

Tätä on ootettu, aivan helvetin hyvä video jatka samaan malliin ARVOSTAN!

[MattGore]

You looked way more comfortable on the 4 strokes!

[endurodelbueno]

Nice and very informative reviews Lefa, thanks for sharing !!

[Medinskiy]

Very informative, thanks. Seems 2 strokes lost top end ( with tpi

[rippinaroundeverywhere]

Kinda reminds me of whip-up ohv are here in Oregon, awesome trails there..Great video!

[markjason]

Finally a great back to back review on the whole range.

Could you please tell me your thoughts on the 350excf compared to the 250excf? in terms of differences in power, rider ability ect
I am about to buy my first bike and 99% sure on the 350excf as i will have the bike for a while.

[mavericktatlock]

Literally my dream bike!! Only the 150 tho
