Much appreciated! - Chance

Have to agree with you on that!! - Chance

Thanks for watching!

Great question Joe Schmid! So the 2019 450 xc-f produces 65 watts. However 50 watts of that is used for the fuel pump and charging system. I have contacted Baja Designs and they say the bike has the space for an upgraded stator to give you the output you'd need to run one of those lights. So you might be able to run a small light, but getting a new one or rewound stator would be the best option. This is the plan for this bike!! - Chance

For my 2013 ktm 300 xc I just wired a led headlight straight to the battery and it works fine. I don’t use it often, but when I do it works . My blinkers, horn, and headlight run straight off of my battery and the tail light is the only thing on AC power

Yeah but...that's not as fun is it hahah.

Very true, the 450 is a handful when racing woods/trails. However out here in west, the 450 likes the wide open area! Thanks for watching! - Chance

@@rmatvmc yeah i guess it is very dependent on where you ride. Im not too familar with western terain thus making my statement misleading for the west riders.

Hey, this bike may make it over to a race GNCC someday... we'll see how it does over on the the other side! - Chance

@@rmatvmc That would be awesome to see! although GNCC isn't really considered single track, it is however woods racing at the fastest level. GNCC races quads on the same trails as the bikes so more of a double track. The east coast hare scrambles is where you will find true bark busting single track racing.

This bike will be ridden like it should be!! At least for a year or so and then sold. - Chance

It make a noticeable difference like both

Will Moran, it's hard to say if they'll throw it in the dual-sport models. However, it has a very smooth power curve that would make a very nice addition to those bikes. Thanks for watching!! - Chance

The bike is super light!! I was able to bulldog through some rock gardens multiple times for certain video shots and it felt great. The motor did take a bit to wind up and reach those higher revs which made it feel heavier in sand corners where I need all of the power at once, however the bike comes with a "long pull" throttle cam installed but KTM includes a "short pull" cam that helps fix that. And I didn't get any arm pump that I can recall!!! I was able to chug the bike pretty good. It won't chug as good as my KTM 300... but that is a completely different style of riding. But the only time it would flame out was when I was tired or made a mistake being in the wrong gear. As for vibration, once the bike was broke in the suspension loosened up a little and felt great. There was still some vibration/feedback from the handlebar that would need to be addressed with another set of bars, but sounds like you have that taken care of. Thanks for the questions tmlpony!!! - Chance

@@rmatvmc Ok Thank you for the fast reply,,how does this 450 compare to the 2017 ktm 450 xcf? i did notice there the same weight.

There are some definite improvements/tweaks to the suspension that are a lot better on the 2019. The motor has a smoother power delivery that makes coming out of corners almost like cheating! It seems a little less abrupt/jerky than the previous model. But the biggest difference is definitely the body and how sleek it feels compared to the last model. Hope this helps!! - Chance

@@rmatvmc Ok deff helps! thanks Chance! ya now i gotta make up my mind on what to buy? not easy lol

Get a ktm just got one love it so fast

Thanks for the comment!! - Chance

We love doing bike reviews so we'll try to get on one of those and review it. Also, really appreciate the suggestion and offer!

If GNCC is what you are looking for, then you couldn't go wrong with a 300 or 350. Both of those bikes are awesome for those types of conditions (even for us bigger guys!). The 450 would be a bit much for tight trees even with a super linear power curve. - Chance

Rocky Mountain ATV MC thank your response. That helps a lot. It’s hard to get on bikes unless you have friends with them and I don’t right now. Please keep giving us information on bikes and mods for bigger guys. Everyone who put out videos are 5’8” and 170lbs. Lol that doesn’t help us bigger guys at all so thank you

This bike is a beast and it is a definite handful. But if you are riding more sand and open terrain, it may be a good option. But again KTM makes a great middle weight class bike the 350 XC-F. -Chance

Thanks Chance! I was leaning toward the 350 xc f, thanks for clarifying! Super helpful. Love these off road bike review videos!!

The 450 XC-F comes with a 5 speed transmission.

This was at West Mountain, Utah. There are a few hidden gems out there! - Chance

Rocky Mountain ATV MC Thanks, I will have to get out there and see what we can find!

Yes, we don't offer any at this point but there are a few different conversion kits you can get to turn these to coil spring forks or just swap them completely. Thanks for watching!

Rocky Mountain ATV MC ok thank you

Parts of it right here close to Payson, Utah, and the other parts were filmed down in Warner Valley near St. George, Utah.

Thanks! Jw Looked a lot like over here in Colorado but I heard you say Utah in the video after I commented

Unfortunately I have not had the opportunity to test out the new Husky version. However, being that the have the same suspension, main frame, motor and swing arm... I expect very similar in handling and power. At least for most people buying these bikes. - Chance

Thanks for the positive feedback! ;)

Also it seems that the audio is independent of the video sometimes as the throttle doesn’t match the terrain at times. I could be wrong, but that’s what it seemed to me.

Nice catch Nathan!! A lot of the audio was placed over different riding shots. - Chance
