2023 KTM 350 XC-F - First Ride & Impressions

I like the lugging power of a 4 stroke, but can't seem to find one that suits me (yet) although I am loving my RM250, I miss the nimble light feeling of the 125....decisions decisions....Can't wait to see what you think of the YX125x review, stoke for that one!

I loved that bike in the woods, it was a beast! The traction was unreal, it was very smooth. Definitely on the heavier feeling side but still playful enough if that makes sense...both the 350 and 300 felt planted and stable yet easy to maneuver. My 2nd ride on the 350 was much better knowing what to expect and using the engine braking to my advantage. If I was buying one of these 2023's, it would be a difficult choice between the 350 and 300.

LOL, you're funny. You were visually the fastest on this bike. You just weren't revving it like the 2Ts so you felt slower but you weren't. Or maybe you felt more in control on the 2Ts therefore felt faster...? (IDK) Also, probably felt heavy because the suspension needs to be softened a bit. Miss you, Jeff 😘

Ik this has nothing to do with the vid but I rode at bear creek yesterday and had a blast! Sick vid btw

Even though the weight on paper isn't any more than the 2ts when I hop off my 350 and hop on my buddy's 250 or 300 they feel like mountain bikes haha

Where do you find the information for these demo days?

I have this exact bike, I went up 1 tooth in the rear, put a slip on FMF and that really woke it up. bike is fantastic in the woods now. I rode 2 stroke for over 20 years. this bike is so easy to ride in comparison, after I got used to the engine braking.

The only complaint I have about the 23/24 350 Xcf's is that engine break everything else is amazing. I love the entire rest of the bike, but that engine break that engine brake sucks balls, especially for cross-country racing learn off the throttle and the bike just stop.
