Very first ride of the new Cogent KTM EXC-F. A friend offered an opinion when I asked after the bike; he said “It is a fantastic bike”! I totally agree. The 350 KTM steers so light and precisely that most of the morning I was putting too much input into the bars. Later in the day, that improved. By the end of the day, I feel I had bonded with it and used the excellent front traction to my advantage. I seemed to always be able to steer inside of my anticipated line. That’s a good thing! Thank you to our friends at Eurosport Asheville for helping make this all happen! Also thanks to the great suppliers Enduro Engineering and Seat Concepts for your help!
