Riding The ALL NEW 2024 KTM EXC in SOUTH AFRICA
Рет қаралды 513,324
Күн бұрынKTM flew me to South Africa to test ride the all new 2024 EXC enduro models from the 2 stroke to the 4 stroke. We ride parts of the legendary Roof of Africa trails! Which consists of hard enduro with fast flowy enduro GP sections mixed with extreme hard enduro rocky sections. There are so many changes on these new 2024 bikes it's incredible!

@juniorsmith996 11 ай бұрын
Haven't finished watching it until but the 300 looks 👌🏻 and sound beautiful I think the tbi was a good move but back to the old premix but at least they finally got the suspension dialed in at stock and I'm going to carry on and I'll give you my honest opinion

Another awesome content, you dont seem to fail to impress 😅. How about an adventure ride in Africa...now this would definitely be interesting with you and all the boys on your new toys. You could make a decent video out of this like part 1+2 🤔. Above all w8sh you speedy recovery, be safe ride safe ✌

I don’t mind the idea of an electric powervalve. Honda had the RC valve back in the day. Only problem is bad wiring. But they may have resolved it. Glad you had fun though! To be honest I wasn’t the biggest fan of KTM until I saw the new models and the design is growing on me.

@@theyeetus1428 In a four stroke you have alot more rotating mass, altough the four strokes wont feel particularly heavier when the engine isoff, but when the engine is running they do feel heavier than two strokes..
@Mockle07 11 ай бұрын
@@theyeetus1428Most of those people are “two stroke 4 lyf” kind of people who probably haven’t ridden a modern four stroke or are just biased. That said, there is still an appreciable difference in ride feel; the four strokes have more weight higher up in the engine and as @777melin said, the rotating mass and engine braking on a four stroke makes it feel heavier, especially 350 and above.

Dang it. The secret is out. Lesotho is the best riding ever. Good to see you on some of the Roof time trial routes there. It gets way more technical. But when you get up top the big mountains the view is worth the toil. 300 is the one you want for Lesotho.

Seems like this next gen is the real deal for advancing KTMs line up as for as next level performance. I just bought a 2023 xc 300, taking the savings offered by the discounts by KTM and put in the Xact Pro 6500s. Made a little video about my initial impressions but the short story is it is an absolute rocket! Love my xcw (2019) but I can see where I'll be selling it in the near future. Never thought about building my channel but if it got me an invite to ride bike in Africa...well haha.
