2024 Husqvarna TE300 Pro is my new bike for this year. I go over why I switched back from Sherco to a KTM/Husky bike and why I picked the TE 300 Pro model.

I like the plastic guards for the front wheel better than the aluminum ones because they don't snag and get stuck on rocks. They also glide off and absorb the impacts instead of transferring a really hard hit to your forks and hands. I've had them on 3 bikes for ~300 hours now, with lots of boulder riding (including a bunch of hard enduros) and have yet to bend a front rotor. I do recommend adding some plastic covers for the bottom of those forks though. Congrats on the new bike, Husky nailed it with the styling IMO!

I was about to buy these bikes until I rode it.. it is so slow !! It’s a turtle.. the best advice I could give you apart from a remap and head modifications would be to simply buy the lightest tyre you can buy. A shinko green stripe weighs 7.6 kgs for a rear.. if you buy a Mitas MT MX 120 90 18 MH SE. … they weigh only 5.6kgs. 2kgs is massive to the feel and really help the bike. You can also get them in a super light which weigh 5.2 kgs from Mitas. the fly wheel weights are 920 grams on these enduro bikes .. the XC model are 570 grams.. I know they are purpose built, but the masses don’t do anything near a real hard enduro.. I’d be stunned if KTM didn’t free them up a little more on the 2025’s

Sweet bike, congrats! Everyone sees the 45t rear sprocket and assumes they have tall gearing - hint: they actually have shorter 1st/2nd/3rd than the old TPI cross country bikes, due to much shorter internal ratios.

@PNWEnduro 2 ай бұрын

I love the new transmission. What gearing are you running? Of all the 2024's I've tried, only one had stock gearing and he changed it after the first ride as well. So far I think the 12/45 will work well for me.

@WASemiHardEnduro 2 ай бұрын

I’m running stock gearing still, and I love it. I also really liked stock gearing on the TPI XC/TX. The new ‘24 1st/2nd/3rd are all lower than what I’m used to, and I’m finding I can use 2nd and 3rd more often. I definitely wouldn’t want a lower 1st gear - it would be unusable. I think people just can’t mentally understand that the internal rations are shorter. So they see the 45t and just think it’s too tall, so they all switch.

@PNWEnduro 2 ай бұрын

The small front and rear sprocket is great for clearance, I remember in my BMX days when bikes went to really small front/rear sprockets to keep them from getting hit. KTM nailed the internal ratios on these bikes for sure. Easy and cheap to switch front sprockets between 12/13 and still can use the same chain as well.

The start is harder to push, the stop sometimes takes 2-3 seconds to actually kill the motor and being so close together it's easy to hit the start when you want stop. I also saw a rider with a brand new 300xc-w on the trail with a faulty starter button.

If you go downhill or you go to your house the Husqvarna stop whit fuel in the tank.hardly uses the reserve. It is increíble and KTM group dont change it. You said braketech is better. Braketech is spanish, Ism spanish and here we prefert Brembo. Brembo is much better. Dont used 12x45, It Is better change to 13x48, if you change to 12, you you will wear out the upper, lower and lower rear skids of the motorcycle chain. For now 13x45 for me is enought. Husqvarna pro for me have a horrible color, Grey is a bad day, grey is the the asphalt. The original brand grip covers with side protection are made of plastic and break on the screws, two falls, two broken pairs at €40 per pair, they are poorly designed. The suspensión the fork is nice, but need turn on left because it is hard for enduro,. Rear suspensión is dificult understand it is better for crono, it is hard for hard enduro. Husqvarna is better than ktm because ktm have pds.

Great comment. Thanks for your contribution.

You can’t beat a dialed in carbureted 2 stroke bike. You just wasted a lot of money. Also you gained 6 lbs of weight. That’s said what new bike isn’t nice. Love Husky 300 but love my 2017 Husky TX300 even more!

Where did I gain 6lbs? I put mousses and rad guards on all my bikes. This bike is 10lbs lighter than my last carbureted two stroke. You can tune a carb to work great at one elevation, go up 5000’ and you need to start over, not the case with an FI bike.

When you’re done you’ll have spent closer to $20K for a 300! 😂

Dude, the stuff I put on this bike goes on every bike I buy. Mousses, gummy tire and protection parts. It’s not anywhere close to 20k total.

btw on the Ktm 24 xcw it comes with brembo on all parts and I had to add the combo /map switch and slavens had a fan for $78. I kind of wish my husky dealer would had gave me a reasonable offer on my trade in.

Great choice! The 24 te 300 pro is the machine I would buy and they have them in stock at my local dealer but I can’t justify $17k for a dirt bike, no matter how awesome it is. I’ll likely just find a used one in a couple years. Looking g forward to see what you think of it long term

Still a few thousand less than a Stark Varg! LOL. Now is a good time to buy with the 25's not far away. I paid less than $17K as they have discounts on them now.

Dirt bikes are getting expensive. You can buy a road bike,a nice one , form 6 to 9 grand. Technically it good and great but dose the weekend worrier really need it ? I still have a kickstart bike , and can keep up with any newer models just fine. And yes I can afford a new bike , just say’n.

I'm assuming you mean Canadian dollars? No dealer charges that much where I live. Everything is more expensive by 20-30% since 2020. I've got 3 carbureted ktm/husky models that I will never sell, but I think people should be more appreciative of KTM that they still can go down to their local dealer and buy any two stroke model today.

@@marcopomponi8482 ya Canadian dollars plus the fees and taxes you have to pay on top make them $17k. I’m sure it’s an amazing bike but my 2018 300xc is just so simple and problem free, but still has all the modern updates I care about like a real electric start and counterbalanced engine. I also paid about 1/2 the cost of these new bikes.
