Congrats. Personally I like the colors and looks of the 2022 more. Maybe because I like my 2022🤣🤣 which I converted to TBI, premix, Slavens S3 head, Coober ECU,...
@@ncguy6518 brooo! That’s an insane good price. Are you second owner or did the dealer ship put the hours on it?? That’s awesome. I do love the 24s as well. They are sick. And yes they are hard to get dirty lol
@@ncguy6518 yeah I don’t blame you!!! I did ask around first if any left over 24 hard enduros but something about the 25s made me gotta have it. Sucks for the guy you bought it from though. Losing out on $5k to ride it 3 hours
This bike is very soft too. I love it. The xc bikes are much more wild. They did it for a reason though. This bike on the trails or in the woods in more technical terrain is amazing
@@ChrisBurns1119 Yeah if you are literally ONLY doing technical stuff then it’s fine but most people aren’t and want plenty of the features the xc w offers but with some pep in the powerband. They should have just offered a map switch.
@@aarmcintyre I have the map switch and the green map is definitely much stronger than the white (enduro) map. But you anyone could always get the two stroke performance ERM tuner like I have and add all the power. But I agree from factory would be sick with a super hot map like xc map and enduro map. Because even the more aggressive green map isn’t as aggressive as the xc models
That’s awesome man!! Yeah sorry … I’m using the two stroke performance tuning software with their erm. That is what I meant. They offer a few different tunes with it is what I meant
@@Bobby_Uterus if I knew they made them in black I would have. At dealer I was deciding between orange ktm cycras and these EE ones which I knew I liked. So stuck with what I know. But I recently seen a set of black cycras. Definitely like them!
I’m confused on the j vs k map. I have googled and can’t find anything. And when I watch videos on the tsp they don’t reference j or k. They just ability to swap between stock map and the tsp map
Yeah. They are down behind headlight mask on the left side in front of forks. On the 24+ models the switch is black and actually kind of hard to see until you know it’s there
Yeah I mean they changed a lot. 95% new bike from the 22/23 xcw to 24/25. But 24s have great deals on them right now. Plus these new 24/25s are amazing compared to the tpi models I think
yeah that’s what i would do. If it weren’t for the fact that I just had to have this 25 hard enduro model then i would have looked around for a crazy deal on a 24. Good luck!!!
I heard something about the 25s got a redesigned swing arm because of issues with the 24. The hard enduro 25 comes with fork pre load adjusters from factory and I think that’s about it
The preload adjustment doesn't do anything different from the 24 other than the adjustment is on the top of the fork. The swing arm on the 24 is slightly straighter than 25...if you have a 24 you should loosen your chain slightly more than the manual tells you, as the swing arm articulates the chain can get too tight and cause issues. The 25 compensates for that so there is nothing that will go wrong with the 24 if you keep the chain looser than normal. For quick reference you can use four fingers instead of three at the chain check point. The 25 also comes with a slightly different compensated frame, where it's been thinned out in areas to make it more flexible. Only time will tell if that was a good move on KTM's part. Great looking bike! KTM is just so far ahead of the competition.
Do you ride in flowerbeds? The 2023 bike with 300 hours doesn't even have a rock scratch on it. Great looking bikes though. KTM is just so far ahead of the competition!!!
Lol. If anyone in the World wants and education about KTM shocks, valve work, and suspension you need to check out Jeff Slavens Racing in Colorado Springs. His education kept me alive for many years. Nice demonstration.
@@ChrisBurns1119 Good to here. Slavens devoted himself to this business/sport. As for the new 2025 Hard Enduro KTM's. I wouldn't buy one. I usually buy a slightly used one ever 5 years and spend 2K modifying it to my needs. That's just how I roll.
Got yourself a really beautiful bike there my friend!
@@natefenn thank you man! I appreciate it!

@@human1513 I love my 22 as well. The white and orange. Of course!
Yeah the hard Enduro is a phenomenal machine and so is the price at $14500.
$13,299 plus fees. So yeah. Expensive but I felt like why not lol
GR8 VIDEO THANKZZ FOR SHARING!!!
Thanks man!!!
Can you show us a video of how the straps are installed on the hard enduro
Yeah I’ll get a video of it today
Just picked up 24 hard enduro with 3 hours on it for 10500. I have a 23 XCW 300 also. Going to be hard to get the 24 HE dirty they look so good new.

@@ChrisBurns1119 he hadn’t ridden in years and decided to get back into it and said the bike was too much power lol.
Hey, good video. Do you know if they switched back to the older powerband? I know people said the 24s were too soft.
This bike is very soft too. I love it. The xc bikes are much more wild. They did it for a reason though. This bike on the trails or in the woods in more technical terrain is amazing

bought this bike a week ago love it, its insane. i am curious how your getting the different maps on it and not sure what you mean by j and k maps.
That’s awesome man!! Yeah sorry … I’m using the two stroke performance tuning software with their erm. That is what I meant. They offer a few different tunes with it is what I meant
@@ChrisBurns1119 awesome great help thank you!
TNT cycle WFO. Miss you Teddy
Hi- Which model number handguards did you get from Enduro Engineering?
I would have went with a black set of cycra pro bend ultras.
@@Bobby_Uterus if I knew they made them in black I would have. At dealer I was deciding between orange ktm cycras and these EE ones which I knew I liked. So stuck with what I know. But I recently seen a set of black cycras. Definitely like them!
@@ChrisBurns1119 I was just giving you crap lol. I ran Enduro engineering guards for years. They are great. The Cycras are nice too.
I’m confused on the j vs k map. I have googled and can’t find anything. And when I watch videos on the tsp they don’t reference j or k. They just ability to swap between stock map and the tsp map
When you get a tsp erm and go on site to pick your map wether newest or oldest available for your specific bike there’s 3 for the 24+ xcw. I. J. K
They don’t reference them because it’s just updated maps in the system. So not something they usually talk about. But they are there
My headlight won’t come on. Do you have a switch? My manual says all XCW’s have an off on switch but I don’t have one.
Yeah. They are down behind headlight mask on the left side in front of forks. On the 24+ models the switch is black and actually kind of hard to see until you know it’s there
@@ChrisBurns1119 yeah I found it but the switch was popped out of the bracket and it was missing the little plastic plunger. Nice KTM
so is it worth to buy a 2025/24 instead of an older bike like 23/22 ?
Yeah I mean they changed a lot. 95% new bike from the 22/23 xcw to 24/25. But 24s have great deals on them right now. Plus these new 24/25s are amazing compared to the tpi models I think
@@ChrisBurns1119 ok because i like the old design before 24 more but will look for a good 24 deal then
yeah that’s what i would do. If it weren’t for the fact that I just had to have this 25 hard enduro model then i would have looked around for a crazy deal on a 24. Good luck!!!
What is the difference between the 2024 300 and the 2025 300? I can't find much online, but they seem almost the same thing?
I heard something about the 25s got a redesigned swing arm because of issues with the 24. The hard enduro 25 comes with fork pre load adjusters from factory and I think that’s about it
@@ChrisBurns1119 thanks for letting me know! I'm undecided if I should get a good deal on a 24 or just get the 25. 😅
@@jonathanedwards2094I’m sure the 24 is just as good especially when you save atleast couple grand lol
