    "All I know is this bike makes you feel like Graham Jarvis"... that's EXACTLY how this bike feels, nailed it my friend, it's an AWESOME bike.

    Great video and thankfully no shit music to ruin the sound of the bike. Awesome terrain also, I want one of these bikes for sure.

    Just purchased a rebuilt 250 te with a reklusive clutch as well a 300 kit. Havent rode a dirt bike in 27 years and just am amazed with everything about this bike. My only issue is I am 5'7" so its a bit of a learning curve, seeing as the bike stands tall.

    As much as I hate to say it and trigger people, Husqvarna is now better than KTM in the enduro zone, because the enduro Husqvarnas are basically Six Days, only the price of the normal EXC. Not to talk about the new retro looking design, my friend owns a 2017 TE300 and they are just beautiful.

    Thanks Jamen for the review. I race MRAN also and finally moving to expert class this year. My 2016 number is 5s. Looking forward to seeing you out there this year on that Husky.

    I really enjoyed the review. You were the last piece to sway me toward the te. Thanks. Im about the same weight as you. Im really impressed with the suspension. So far the bike has eaten up everything ive pointed it at. For anyone considering the Lectron, do some searching on youtube. There are some simple mods/jetting chnges to make this bike hum. And read your jetting manual... :)

    Great video! I rode a TE250 recently but couldn't tell you how it performed due to me riding it like a 4 stroke lol. Definitely a learning curve coming from a 4 stroke...

    Well done, most of my riding will be here in New Mexico desert-high desert. TX-TE 300 so your thoughts help a lot. Thanks

    • @Ray-sf6uc
      @Ray-sf6uc 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      You have raced desert on your 2017 te250. Same springs, what do you weigh. Thank you. Why 250 not 300

  • @cw127cw
    @cw127cw 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Finally someone who talks about the suspension. Great work and review. Nice riding man. Hey how much do you weigh? Just wondering if weighing in at 188 pounds before gear if I'll need to modify the fork. Thanks

  • @MultiBadBass
    @MultiBadBass 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Liked and subscribed. I got one of these too and agree about the suspension. That was my major hold back on this bike but I'm really pretty impressed with the new components and stock valving. I weigh about 190 geared up and just put 4.5 kg fork springs in and a 49 shock spring, haven't ridden it yet though. Yes the forks dive, hoping the springs get me in that happy place. What's your weight and where have you settled on the clickers fork and shock? Note that I had the minimum fork oil level (airgap was 120mm, range is 120 to 90) so that will effect the diving right there too, after testing with the new springs I will get closer to 90 on the airgap I would suspect. Check yours, maybe that would help with your soft feel. I also think the AT81 front is no good at all for my northern NM stomping grounds. Got some time to get this bad boy set up before next race season though so no worries on any of this. Post specs and mods as you make them, we are interested.

      Jonathan no, the problem no is the power, is the traction os the floor, sorry im spanish.
      Que el problema no es por potencia que es derrapaba la rueda y iba en una marca alta.

  • @donaldwood4774
    @donaldwood4774 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Very good review and vid. Thx. I also watched few others from you (ROCKETSHIP :). The bike seemed to be working well there, was that stock Xplor fork?
    I see no aftermarket tanks listed for the 17 TEs, what kind of fuel mileage you getting from the lectron?

    Great review on the bike! I was pretty curious about that new suspension, and hearing that makes me want to like it. I'll maybe have to try one out when I'm done with my Kawi. Just curious though, I saw you at Johnny Rock and that bike didn't have a headlight on it, do you have 2 of these?

  • @xcdirtrdr1633
    @xcdirtrdr1633 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I am thinking about switching from a 450 to a husqvarna two stroke. I race the same type of off road races that you do, are you faster on the 2 stroke does the reduced weight keep you from getting as worn out?

  • @kevinjohnoflynn
    @kevinjohnoflynn 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great video, im torn between this and the tx300 as i want to do some mx as well. Do you think this bike would be fine for a beginner on an mx track?
    Do the forks stiffen up enough on the clickers?

    • @kevinjohnoflynn
      @kevinjohnoflynn 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Jamen Littlefield have you riden the
      Tx? Is it just as good in the slow technical stuff as the te??

    • @kevinjohnoflynn
      @kevinjohnoflynn 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Jamen Littlefield my thinking was that on the aer fork i could just adjust the air pressure for mx or enduro very easily

    @RedLightning 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    by any chance have you ever been on a TE 150? Im looking to upgrade and am stuck between the two. I live in the east and ride and race more tight trails so i worry that the 250 might be a bit heavy in the tighter woods, any help would be great man, thanks

    • @XploreEnduro
      @XploreEnduro  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      If you have a stock carb, i think 45-50 miles is pretty normal if I remember right. In Moab you might get more depending on the trail and pace. If you have a lectron carb, they can do 70-80+ pretty easily.

      You say in your video that the bike has great forks, I've read a lot of bad things about that fork, too soft and very poor range of clikers settings, now that you know it better what is your thought on it ?

    • @MXTAHITI
      @MXTAHITI 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      It reassures me, I also think that you are right, but at the same time it is true that those people who say that the fork is bad, are manufacturers of accessories for suspensions !! Lol after all I have never been disappointed by a new product from KTM until now maybe I should stop listening to that guys !! thank you, do you have a FB page ?
