Dirt Bike Magazine tests the all new 2024 KTM 500EXC-F in Southern California. The new KTM has a lot of carry over from the re-designed SXF model line up. New frame, new swing-arm, new body work, new air box, new handlebar switches, new light, new suspension settings, new seat, new engine, and more. What did we think of the 500 on the trail? Take a ride with us as we break down the all new KTM and give you some insight before you spend thousands of dollars at the dealership. We hope you find all our videos informative and helpful when it comes to purchasing your new bike!

California knows what's best for me. I most definitely did not tune my 500 and throw the bs evap system, reeds and stock exhaust in the garbage lol.
And I thought I was a good Californian, you're a GREAT one! Keep it up - Dear Leader is going to send you a thank you card any day now!!
I must be super fortunate. When mine was delivered, all the rubbish was already in a box.
I don't understand the 500. What's the point when thiers a 450? Someone explain?
@@jaredgordon2798it’s a big bore 450. What’s the point of the 450 is you can get a 500
Got a 24 FE501S. Raising the idle a bit with the red knob helped reduce flameouts.
I really like the content and structure of your video here. Great and concise opinion, relevant facts, and plenty of action shots. Wonderful job.
Much appreciated!
This was a great idea, seeing how the bike performs bone stock. Cool
For people in California, do not worry about legalities regarding what equipment you put on your 500. Half the shit they don't even enforce. I got a 500 because I can ride it offroad all year long, I can do whatever I want to it and no one will bother me. Dirt bike magazine has to say that to cover their ass if some idiot gets in trouble and tries to blame them for it in a lawsuit.
Do they even check your smog controls and make you run the bike through emissions in CA?
@panthersblow motorcycles don't need to be ran through smog in california.
@@drpork1360 Maryland doesnt either, but they are starting to make it harder for bikes that do not come with those controls to get tagged. Especially for 2nd hand owners.
nice video! ☺i have a 2020 500excf and i LOVE it!!! i use the D606 front and rear and they are very good tire for the riding i do and the terrain we have here(New-Brunswick Canada)
Thanks for the fully stock discussion. Was that a kove in the background?
Love the music. All this metal music that accompanies dirt bike videos has become quite the cliche
Refreshing review
Your production superb ☘️
Thanks a lot 😊
The video quality is great! Where are you guys filming? Hesperia? Hi-dez? Merry Christmas!
thank you! yes Hi-Dez! Merry Christmas!
I love my 2024 500excf. big upgrade from my old 2017 250excf
Merry Christmas Tilley. Surprised I don't run into you as I train dogs up and behind the Inn where you filmed a lot of this.
Nice bike.
New tires, fo sho.
Merry Christmas. 🎄
The stock tune is about 20x better than my stock 2020 tune. KTM should have never told people they made the frame stuffer. I guarantee these reviewers wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. Bone stock the 2024 is great!
We ride a lot of dirt bikes. Mark Tilley has spent a lot of time on the Kawasaki brands. Travis Fant has spent a lot of time on the KTM brands. Riding the same bikes through generational changes you can tell 100% the difference. So your guarantee isn't a guarantee. You can tell the difference from the new-gen to the previous frame stiffness.
@@DirtBikeMagazine 10-4 I'm not as in tune as them im sure. Seems like it would be really hard to compare without riding both bikes back to back on the stuff Surly you do agree the stock 2024 tune is a lot better with flameouts than the previous gen bikes.
Merry christmas
My bank account hates it, but I love my 2024 500exc-f. Its the most fun I have ever had on 2 wheels. Just sucks waiting for the aftermarket folks to catch up to all the changes. Still waiting on a decent tank upgrade option.
It seems like every single year they come out with a redesign. It’s a stiffer frame. I remember when they were known for having a different feeling frame.
$14k OTD for this bike that several channels posted it over heats, has the reed cage fall out, and the tires arent even balanced so it shakes going down the road.
Fawk. I hope that's not the end of KTMs reliability. What there was to begin with lol
I’d like to know how the stiff frame will feel in AZ rocky single track. I’m looking at a 350, and a little nervous that it might be too stiff for rocky trails.
The trick with any of the KTMS and especially with new gen is to get them closer to 8-10 hour mark. They really start to feel comfortable and the frame becomes a lot more plush.
@@DirtBikeMagazine Thanks for the reply Dirt Bike Mag. 👍👍
How many hours on the bike when you tested it?
Nice content on every video. Will you do the same for a EXC250?
From my side, in Europe, there are a lot of people searching this model for a combo between motocross and enduro because there are no longer motocross bikes with license plate… but an exc it’s not the best for mx… if possible when you would do the video touch on this point 😁
That's the plan!
Dirt bikes and slow music don’t go together
I have always wondered why they do this but it's every single video
@@brumfiba ya for real. It makes the bikes look so lame lol
@@metalofthedeath maybe they know dual sports are for old people like me
@@brumfiba lol
@@metalofthedeath something about the soothing sounds of John Denver tends to understate the fact that even a KTM 500 dual sport will wheelie in almost any gear with just a twist of the throttle
The bike is great definitely. The exhaust is killing the bike, holding so much power.
Can you replace the gas tank for the MX bike tank? How much cost for a motard setup for this bike? Would be cool see this bike with tank from the 450 sx-f and set of motard wheels.
Posting the music in the description should be standard. Especially when it's such a nice song
Love the stock test and love the music 👍
Music???
Carson Brown made that river crossing look easy! Haha
He is so fun to watch and work with!
You say 450 in the video?
I can’t believe the cost!
So which one do I get? The 2024 model or the previous Gen?
Depends on your riding ability and what you are planning to do with the bike?!
I think you could’ve gotten away with taking the mirrors off 😂
Beta is less money, doesn't need mods, has linkage and knobbies, and makes 4 sizes.
No skid plate is wild
Agreed on an offroad bike
Track id?
Yeah , I have an 09 KTM 450exc r but if I was going to go modern 500 dualsport, I would go with Beta
the beta is one of the more aggressive out of the box dual sports you can buy for sure
@DirtBikeMagazine the new ktm is way too stiff for my comfort. They are both more capable than I am but much more comfortable on the Beta.
Whats its stock HP? There was confusion on its release saying 64hp........ Assume thats wrong
Depends where you buy it. Here in Australia it’s unrestricted and mine feels every bit of 64hp.
46 if you are lucky in Kalifornistan......
About 46 on the wheels. Can be tuned to around 53
What are "engine hangers" ???
Maybe rubber engine mounts? I was also wondering.
First off the start switch needs to go,many riders having issues like bike starting up in the garage or truck,by itself!
Nice bike..............except it's Halloween orange
Great vids but i want to hear the bike music made me cry 😢
Sorry about that. There is a lot of bike sound in there during the riding. Take out music completely and these videos can come off very dull. Appreciate the feedback
@@DirtBikeMagazine Hi did not mean no disrespect i love your channel and im a regular watcher 👍👍👍.
Sounds like i should get a 23 model or older of this bike. The flame out is very disappointing. Im getting rid of the honda for this reason.
You look like you're riding on ice
I wanna see some real test riding
Screw all 4 strokes.
I love how every dirt bike review starts with the stock tires..... we get it, stock tires are bad, they should be change immediately. Even if you don't change them immediately, you'd need to change them after like 20-30 hours. Why are we talking about the tires? Maybe we should also talk about the stock engine oil and air filter. These are critical components that must be covered right up front!
You need to understand there are a lot of reviews that change the tires before doing testing. That changes the feel of the bike and how it rides. Sorry you are having a bad day
Don't take offense, its a trend with off road motorcycle reviews. This bike has probably the best fork ever offered on an off road bike straight from the factory. It's also incredibly stable and confidence inspiring in a straight line. Admittedly, this straight line stability is a trade off for a more "stiff" feeling chassis compared to the 2020-2023 vintage of bike. Down side is you get more fatigued (in my experience) with the new chassis, upside is you can pound through rough terrain at higher speeds. It's an amazing new bike from KTM. I think this update has widened the gap between what the EXC-F, XC, and XC-W are best suited for. The 2020-2023 EXC-F bikes were probably better at tight single track, the 2024 is better at wide open terrain. As always, the KTM fun factor is there, despite the stock tires =) @@DirtBikeMagazine
Do you do Supercross Whoops on your DualSport?...so WHY do they keep shoving this overweight, Rigid crappy frame at us?! Hell, they even stuck it on the 125's and gained 6lbs for nothing the normal user needs or wants. Next, they will move production to their Indian or Chinese Plant while STILL charging a fortune. I'll stick with the '08 and '15 which will both outpower this plugged up mess. KTM...get it together and go back to simpler, cheaper and LIGHTER bikes. We don't need 17 maps, traction control, dual Airbags and lane assist!
I have a 2021 KTM 350 excf and absolutely love it 8000 miles on it dual sport riding with zero issues apart from lose mirrors the frame feels fine to me 🤷♂️
You have the "Normal'' frame before the Supercross Frame got used across the whole line!@@william6815
2018-2022 frames were unquestionably the best motors aré stupid reliable and maintenance intervals are double if not triple what the manual indicates. You’re tripping giving you the maps and control options literally means you get 9 bikes in one…. Clown comment by a clown rider
@@christophervillarreal8565 You didn't address the frame issue or the fact my 15 will stomp a 24 no matter WHAT map setting you choose. Sure I like new bikes, but I don't want to pay a fortune for features that don't improve it, like 7 pounds of steel in the 24 frame. You are right, the frame was excellent until NOW...and that was my point.
@@RadioReprised yeah I can’t argue with that one 2023 went to absolute shit with nearly every model. Touché you nailed it.
Hi guys let me start off by saying well done a good job just one thing YOU CALLED IT A 450 at 5:16 into I lost my cookie over this I am letting you know I am on my way to pick up my NEW 500sex f from you tomorrow you posted this without reviewing the video OMG my cookies all over the place send me the address and please don’t touch it until I get there A fan. JoP
Happy for you! Are you going to keep it stock or do some modifications?
These dirt bike magazine videos all seem the same.
No point in testing these bikes stock
California knows what's best for us all and is ALWAYS correct. It is so progressive and inclusive. The entire county must follow their lead and not question its authority and governance. I love California and Gavin Newsome. We must also remove the 1st, 2nd, and 4th amendments and stop driving motorized vehicles, move to the city, and only eat bugs and GMO fruits and vegetables 😂
@M4c223c lol... I tried to make it so obvious that I thought it wasn't necessary
Chinese engine though? Right?
At a shorty at 5'10 these bikes are just too damn tall lol
the bike wanted to flame out wtf does that mean
If you let the RPM drop too low where the motor is barely revving while you are riding it, the engine may shut off.
It means Kali forced them to make it so lean it stalls!
Great production but get rid of the awful slow music it ruins the video, we want to hear the engine and exhaust notes. Why do you call it a 450 throughout the video when it clearly says 500 on the bike and KTM doesn't offer the 450 in street legal trim only the 350 EXC-F and 500 EXC-F. The 450 XCF-W is the race version with no DOT or emissions equipment. I'd think an "expert" would know this.
Wheres the metal music lop
what's the issue with you people in the u.s and the word enduro?
what do you have against it and never use it??
this is not a dual sport motorcycle, it is an enduro one, a racing motorcycle
on the other hand a 690 is dual sport, not an exc
thus,what do you have enduro?
It seems that enduro means a street legal off road bike in Europe. In North America enduro is a strictly off road bike/type of racing/riding. Hence the term dual sport for bikes that are also street legal.

Is it true KTM is moving manufacturing to China?
For select bikes.
Yes they are laying off 300 people in Austria and moving production to China...,
They've been there for some time now. CF Moto makes a lot of their stuff.
handtearing bike
Worst music, would have been better with 500 two stroke
Everyone has a diff opinion on music. Sorry it wasn't rap or whatever you prefer. Hard to please everyone.
The music is so annoying
Sorry you are upset. You wanted hip hop?
Please uncork this bike,sounds like a slow vacuum cleaner
They actually come new with a kit to uncork them

Yo people wanna hear the bike bro😂why would you put lame ass slow music over it🤦♂️pointless page
Get rid of the lonesome Dove music dude. That was a very poor choice by the staff!
Who cares about the music lol. TH-cam whiners.
Dont understand why every motorbike channel is turning into spotify when it comes to engine sound ... so horrible ...
Not sure what you are saying but we will look into it
Worst music I've ever heard
California sucks
Another crap marketing video.
Someone had a bad Christmas! sorry you are so upset
5 minutes intro before starting the freaking review!! thats a record!
