Hard Enduro training on the KTM 150 EXC Chris Birch

I've got myself a KTM 150 EXC-tpi to play with. This was the first ride on some harder trails. My friends Ryan and Bryce are training for this year's Romaniacs race so we went to a blown out hill for some hill repeats.

This track has been smashed by 4WD'S the weather and lots of bikes, it's a challenge to make it tidy on my 300 so I was keen to see try and figure it out on the little bike. The 150 is really fun, I'm enjoying the challenge of figuring it out.

When it's hard in real life it always looks so easy on a video. That looked insane on the video so it must have been savage as hell. Unreal

Great vid!

150 TPI is perfect for technical training .. so nimble, doesn't overheat (or boil gas), bullet proof clutch, quiet and doesn't really use any gasoline. And it has small engine cases, exhaust, muffler, everything.. Treat it with TSP power kit to make it even better.

Your real-time line decisioning is exquisite!

I can't even imagine how to do what you all did. My imagination can't go so far. Thanks for this great video Chris!

Hey Master Chris Super to see you on a 150. Be great if you have a moment to kick out a vid with some more of your thoughts on the platform. Cheers

This was a great video. Good to be able to watch yourself and others have a bit of a struggle on real obstacles and see how you approach them. Looked like a fun day

Awesome video Chris. This hill is always a good challenge, loving the content from this area of NZ. One of my favourite places to ride.

My god ! Chris is and absolute legend 🎉 what would you say is the lightest most nimble dirt knife right now

Great video this track looked like something a trials bike would be ideal for not an enduro bike, the Romaniacs race from the bits I've seen on YouTube it's a bloody tough race and requires huge amounts of skill to complete.
