I have the 2023 350 xc-f, stock suspension works awesome for me. I absolutely love how the bike runs. my first 4 stroke, they are so easy to ride compared to my old 2 stroke.
It sounds like Tom's suspension just needs to be dialed in a bit more, as far as a 4 stroke for hard enduro, they run quite a bit hotter than a 2 stroke and the other and probably the biggest draw back is how easily they flame out and stall, the latest XC and the XCW's new fork with the 6500 kit is comparable to the Cone Valve forks but for a much more reasonable cost, Cone Valves are hard to beat but they should be for what they cost.
Technical Note: On the new KTM and Husky, with the new closed chamber forks, WP has a 7500 series drop in that will convert them to cone valve. About $1500-$1750 US
I have a '17 TX300 that I have massaged and modified to fit me like a glove. Getting a new bike every year puts you back to square one. Sometimes it's necessary to have a new bike if you are sponsored but most riders would do better on a 4 yr old bike with the benefit of all that testing time
You guys always have a great time riding. I didn’t realize Adam was on a 4 banger. I can’t believe he doesn’t cook that thing during a hard enduro based on the videos youse post. Shouldn’t you be prepping for a wedding and not farting around in the woods?
Prep for a wedding? Find an acceptable suit that fits and that the bride approves of. The women will take care of everything else and then send you the bill. Better get as much time in the woods as you can while you can.
Q/ all the small 250/350 four strokes I’ve owned have flamed out in the technical tigh slow going And some of the 450s and add the 450 will be heavier ?
I ride a 20 year old DRZ 400E. It was parked for 18 years. I cannot find a new E for comparison but I would think the difference is minimal after 20 years. After one year, I think it is wanting a new bike.
@@dougsmith5873 thats not a good comparison. what updates did the drz actually get since it was released? probably less changes in 20 years than the ktm 350 got in 22 to 23

Its time for Zach to make a bad financial decision 😂
More to come on this subject... Tom has done something as well!
Nothing better than the grunt of a 4 stroke, love it!

ZA1! Been watching your vids for probably 7+ years now. Love seeing your new vids coming out more recently!

That was for sure fun to watch.
We all need that bike 😂

Those are for 50cc and 65cc SX look it up. The ones for the big bikes are the 6500 which are close cartridge too
@@dascr32 Not for the 2024 model KTM. Go look it up at WP pro components. Your information is outdated.
@@lostinpa-dadenduro7555 my bad!
I’ve got a 2021 300 with the 6500 kit and love it.
@@Tx300iAAH It’s good stuff.
Grats to Adam for his results at this years TKO, the new 24xc-w TBI is what I'm lusting after
Another awesome video, New England rocks roots and big hills with great results 😎
Great review and explanation of the difference between the 2 bikes, awesome 👌
I’ve got a 6500 kit in my 2021tx300 and love it. Plush up top but amazing bottoming resistance
Great video. From the camera to the narrating all top notch. Subbed and liked

I js gotta say my 23 250sx that I got kyb inserts for is on point at the jdays I’ve tried so far
Stay with the 2 stroke
Love my 23 350 xcf! I do need to setup the suspension tho
Great video Zach!
Sweet , man that huge difference. Yes you need too get the A kit. Lol your wife to be won’t mind 😮.
the 350xcf is really twitchy off the bottom then it smooths out. I always thought ktm had backwards. I like smooth off the bottom then ramp up.
I needed this suspension at TKO 😂
EEEWWWWWW A 4 STROKE
On the 2023 KTM 350, try the bike in map 1 (white). It should calm the bike down a bit and make it easier to ride (power wise)
If you ever need to make room for more bike hit me up lol
You dont need a new bike,check out Kevin Gallas, does hard endure on a 1979 Honda XL 185
maybe those left handed tomato plants are making you guys timid?
I also made the mistake of riding a buddies bike with cone valves. 6 months later i bought his conev valves after he sold the bike. 😂
You need to get a 4 stroke especially for hard enduro!
4stroke with suspension setup! do it
I want KTM 350 four stroke MX bike so bad.
It’s like buttah.
Always have a two stroke and four stroke. Work hard play hard. They both have their Place in the garage
have you ridden the new ktm300? its a drastically different bike than before
That’s coming…
I want better picture quality than 240P
Zak if you could get the beta 350, 390 or would you want 1 of them the way it picked up speed was amazing
Are you planning on doing any hare scrambles in the future?
Claiming rule 😂
Hello how do you guys feel about the reiju mr 300. I bought the 2022 mr 300 with the kyb suspension. So far for the money it's a great bike
It's been a long time since just the three of went on trail ride. ZAK just do it and buy the 2023 KTM 350 with the upgraded Cone valve fork and shock.
Better frame on the 23. More precise than the 22 models
yeah but whats his compression/rebound set to, he could likely adjust his setup to get close
No stay 2t
never ride a buddies bike, its always been expensive for me😁
Adam with grey hair?! Damn we getting old
Is a diferente bike to!
No 4 strokes
350XC-F sales after this video: 📈📈📈
Cone valve front end and try the MXtech natty rear shock. Its WAY better than the trax. Like a suction cup to the ground
can you buy the new 350 with this suspension as an upgrade ?
Q/ all the small 250/350 four strokes I’ve owned have flamed out in the technical tigh slow going
And some of the 450s and add the 450 will be heavier ?
How does the suspension compare to an mx bike suspension?
I wanna see Zack on a four stroke again
Same I thought he was pretty fast on the 250 but he needs a 450 4stroke to try
I got the 2024 ktm 300xc if you’re gonna get a ktm that’s the one to get
Why does Tom look stoned this whole episode
👌
I’d take the $6k and spent it towards lessons from The Baylor Boys… ..money can’t buy talent…
The 23 are too stiff, I like the 17 chassis
Definitely not its an 4 stroke will just flame out constantly compared to a 2 stroke
The most overlooked bike in the KTM catalog is the 250 XC-F. Don't believe me, go ride one with an open mind.
2 strokes are superior
Am I crazy, or does Adam have Grey hair??
But the bullet, and buy one
I’ve been saying this for years, you are faster on a 4 stroke 🫡
Question! (Raises hand)
Why do you get a new bike every year? Is it just a personal "wanting the new thing" type deal, or do you wear them out?
I ride a 20 year old DRZ 400E. It was parked for 18 years. I cannot find a new E for comparison but I would think the difference is minimal after 20 years. After one year, I think it is wanting a new bike.
@@dougsmith5873 thats not a good comparison. what updates did the drz actually get since it was released?
probably less changes in 20 years than the ktm 350 got in 22 to 23
