TM has always made sweet bikes with quality parts. The details, like the cooling fins on cases, gusseted swingarm & Olihns shock from factory sets it apart from the Big 5.
I got the fuel injected 2021 TM 300 EN. Prior to delivery, a part of me wished I got the carb version but after a couple rides....I'm glad I did get the Fi.
LOVE 2 strokes. Older guy here. My youth. Nice looking , sounding bike. Never rode it. Bike like this should stick to kick start. My opinion. Had to edit. Great video. Real trails not a fancy track. Wish test rides showed real world and not a nice groomed track %70 wont see.
Back in the Days,Moto TM Racing Motors were build in Gas Gas 1992 EC Enduro Comp Models fabolous Carburated 2 Stroke Motors...Like the onces from Casal Portugal,WHO where build in the Enduro Comp Models Form German Custom Manufaktur BSM ULM...But my Favorit 2stroke Riding Bikes were Maico 500 1993,Honda CR 500R 1986... Rpm Monsters🙏
European dirt bikes are definitely killing the Japanese bikes. I think the Japanese makes are going to have to come up with a competitive two stroke off road bike to stay relevant.
@@Tv-nv7st you may be correct on your number BUT. I have a ranch here in Texas w a 50 acre pasture, several times when we have a big crowd we put that shyt to rest. We will line em up and drag race across the pasture, its about 600 yards. I bought 2 04 KX500's when i knew that was the last, its close comin out but that big KX throw's dirt all over those 4T's from 3rd on. Its not even close either, and yes we can all ride. I think there's a little art to floggin a 500, most cant do it even though they think they are. You have to be able to control the violence, not hold back, when the front end comes up stay on the gas and feed it gears. I have been riding 500's since they came out, still have a RM465 as well, and there has yet to be a thumper that will hang in an all out drag, the KTM 525 has come the closest...Roost
At this time, direct fuel injection on 2 strokes is still too expensive to be put on a production bike. More than that, the TPI injection that KTM and TM use is not developed by them but is a "borrowed" design, so the 2 stroke injection development is actually pretty slow
TM's are awesome, reliable, quality parts, very well made and a successful racing lineage. I've owned 2. Cannondale were a pile of shit that failed very quickly, so really confused why TM reminds you of them?
@@craigdavies8099 - Dont get your feelings all hurt Craig... I was merely referring to the noticeably different quality and type of components TM uses over that of other more assembly line manufactures. Yes Cannondale had their fair share of problems which ultimately led to the company's demise, which is a completely different topic too. But that doesn't change the fact that they used quality components over that of assembly line type stuff found on the Japanese bikes they were competing with. Lets hope that TM can compete with everyone else out there.
@@TheRossillini I agree with that man The whole reason I like to strokes is because of the reliability and now they’re getting closer to four strokes. When I’m out in the middle of nowhere I can’t take a chance of the failure. I just heard that people did say the less hit is easier in hard enduro. Carb for me too
Life Outdoors the sherco, beta, and tm still use it. Ktm was possibly forced into the idea of tpi due to the countries emissions standards in the country they’re manufactured in. I’ve ridden 21 husky 300tpi and the beta 300rr carb bike blows that thing out of the water in power and suspension.

TMs are a true class act.
Considering they are about 1k more expensive than typical bike from big 5 they seem to be good value. Their 2t developement is state of art also.
A true factory enduro bike out of the box! I’ve always wanted one because of the quality.

Is ut wideratio
Good luck with it.
Any issues with bike? Been solid so far?
@@truckingfun5033 It has been great. No issues so far.
TM Racing getting some love.
Sounds as good as it looks. amazing!
Make two strokes great again!
I’m on that mission my self about to start daily driving a ktm 300 exc
I'm throwing my money at the screen but nothing's happening.
Well just run down to the TM dealer on the corner..... Oh, wait...
Wow sounds crisp. Great to see a Alternative love that it still has a carb. Taller 3rd gear sounds good to me Ripper!
I'm glad is carburated. Fuel injection is not ready for show time yet on a 2 stroke dirt bike.
🧢🧢🧢🧢
That frame looks identical to my 02 CR250R frame, It's a thing of beauty
I actually think it is very similar too
TM = power
I love my 19 Tm En300es

Like this bike...
Fuel injection make it easier to ride in snow tho... I love my 2 smoker but during winter I wish it was fuel injected

I wished they would.
Absolutely!
I’d not underestimate the Japanese, their engineering is the best in the world.
They have them???
I have a 2018 TM SMR 300 2 stroke (the super motard version) and I love it!
Ah, BTW, I’m from Italy...
Dream bike
Hell yes 👍👍
Dont lean back when you grab a handful of throttle! Hahaha
God dam that sound !!!!!
Anybody knows what the weight of this bike is?
Tm site doesn't mention it.
2 strokes are great trail bikes. Very fun, yet not nearly as powerful as 450cc 4 strokes so they are easy to ride.

Which has wider gearing ratios? What one will cruise better?! Please answer
Ooooo 6 gears 💙💙💙💙💙
Someone needs to come out with a 400 2T
Great but whats it like for hard enduro?
Why is TM doesn't complete in motorcross?
I bought the last year of the carburated XCW because I didn't want injection.
Smart decision.
I did as well! actually bought one for my son too!
I know this vid has been out for some time, but are the carb'd bikes oil injected like the Beta RR or do they require mixing.
requires mixing
Why they refuse to get EURO5 with direct fuel injection??
At this time, direct fuel injection on 2 strokes is still too expensive to be put on a production bike. More than that, the TPI injection that KTM and TM use is not developed by them but is a "borrowed" design, so the 2 stroke injection development is actually pretty slow
Is it wideratio like 300 xcw
Someone answer?!
Reminds me of the ol' Cannondale days...
TM's are awesome, reliable, quality parts, very well made and a successful racing lineage. I've owned 2.
Cannondale were a pile of shit that failed very quickly, so really confused why TM reminds you of them?

We're they sell these at I can't find a dealer
There's like three dealers in the US, I'm pretty sure you are better off just getting them shipped in a crate
@@baguettechef ok u know how long it takes?
all i see is sexy
Carbureted is better then tpi, more power, more hit.
Unless you ride hard enduro then tpi has its advantages
Life Outdoors that’s all I ride. The tpi is heavier and has more to fail on you.

@@TheRossillini awesome I’m actually getting a 300rr for my next bike. Thanks for the heads up.
Same gearbox like the tm 300 mx to much compression
Pipe hangs very low
Right bike, wrong tax bracket
Electric start on a 300? Ridiculous!! Do not need the extra weight, complexity, or cost. Stupid having an electric start on such a bike.
Pity that theTestrider is afraid of speed. So he wont shift it. He rides it out of the powercurve. Ridiculous
Might get stick for this comment but ktm has stolen the whole game anything else is a compromise.
