We put the Fastest 350 EVER against the KTM 450

Long live the combustion engine 😊 .....ev🤮

Love my 350, engine is also changed, has a lot more torque and power than stock. Doesn’t need a lot of changes, just the right ones. I think the twisted development engine is quite expensive. Payed less for my bike changes including a slightly used set of cone valves and super trax. And it still runs 102 octane gas instead of super expensive VP stuff.

Great job on comparison/ video 👍

They didn’t want to waste any water on you guys or what?
Track looks drier than a popcorn fart 😂😂

True 350cc or 390cc bore?

Stark varg 80hp.....

could you not just take the 450 and detune it make the tq come on slower more gradual with efi tuning.

I switched to a KTM 300. It's awesome! I'd like to see a Mitch Payton/Pro Circuit massaged 300 TBI vs 350 vs 450 shootout. Great work MXA guys!

Put Mosey Man on it for a national so we can see what it do

Great video love that track looks fast & real roller-coaster ride 👍

Vp pro 7 fuel in the 350? Ive only heard of vp pro 6 fuel?

😂 didn't tedesco have a 55hp 250f in like 05?

Yawn

NO WAY that the 350 makes 60 hp to the wheels when new 450s make 55ish to the wheel where do people get these numbers wtf

Josh you have to do a National or two on that 350 for a good test.

Pure 100% sales pitch, doctored of course. They didn't test against a stock 450, like they claimed because they admit to going into the ecu and messing with the map. LIARS. They made the 450 "different" so the 350 would seem better. Sheesh guys, why?

Thanks for putting that inspirational music over the 350. Hearing free bland music over the rev of the bike, was extremely inspiring!!!... 🤦‍♂️

was beaten up after 10 minutes on wooped out tracks riding the 450 bike, tryed a 350, sold the 450,now own 2x350! sold on them, excf six days and a 22 sxf350 both gold! 20 minute motos and more of them every ride!

Ge5 a 450f to 70 or even 80 hp

Sick video! What about a 60hp 350 vs a 60hp 300 2 stroke??

best bike ever !!!

Juicing a 350 to hit a HP number probably means torque is less and revs must be higher, while the 450 lugs. Sounds cool though

Thought the new 23 350 makes 57hp Stock or are these numbers on here wheel HP

"Oh MXA is renting out the track? Fuck em, no water"

What if they do that on a 450?

Nah, '24 300SX WMR Re-flash & PC Works pipe...YAT Needed something that handles like a 250f, but has the low end beans to compensate for my weak-ish corner exit speed.

The only thing people want to see is 2 strokes

I've been racing 350s now for the past decade (and owned each model generation in that time, as well as a 2012 model). I have felt the improvement in torque on the 19+ models, and the bump to the 23+ generation felt significant as well with the chassis changes. Since we race moto, off-road, and Enduros, the stock 350 has been the perfect balance (and even better that I race the vet classes in moto, so no need for a 250 and 450). While there are times I know I could have more power immediately out of turns, in general the bike has been the best size all around, and has been easier to maintain than a big bore kit on the smaller bike. Still plenty of opportunity to have too much power (much like a 450, tight or gnarly trails can make whiskey throttle moments sketchy 😅). I have heard good things about the big bore kits and mods, but I've been content with the engine character on these machines here in TX.

Currently racing 23 and 24 Husky FC 350s at an expert/A level.

My brother had a 2017 ktm 450sxf that he had twisted development work their magic on and that bike was an absolute rocket ship. Hands down the easiest bike i have ever ridden.

I do appreciate being an underdog tho.

Great video as always. Let's see a 300sx vs 350 vs 450 next. Have heard twisted development has the magic touch on the 300sx as well

Josh, Dennis, awesome vid. Race the 350 for sure, no question. Yes when it's rough, you can find new lines that a 450 can't:-)

WHY .. would ANYONE want less from the same FFS .. do you NOT understand "HP" .. you "perceptions" of torque is F'dup .. compare the servicing 👎

I really do hope they allow the 300Sx in AMA Racing.

It would be interesting to put an SX300 into the test😁

Is there any chance you can ask Chase if he tried the 350 at all since switching to KTM? Im always curious if any KTM factory riders actually try the 350 to see if maybe they find it more comfortable or are quicker on it. Or if they are forced to use 450/just assume they would be quicker.

yeah were gonna hear sounds you dont normally hear as we have the track..... puts music over the bike sound ffs always the shite music on these films

Nice work

I rode a 350 for a couple years, loved it. Then stepped up to a 450sxf... And while it's definitely harder to ride especially in the woods, it's wayyyy more exciting to ride with all that power, and it's definitely more powerful. I'm 6' 1" and 200lbs.

Take it even 1 step further, and switch back to a 250cc 2 stroke. By far the cheapest option.

I’ve got a Twisted built 350. It’s pure sex

Well it would have been nice to get the track data of these bikes i guess wasn’t possible? With the twisted, and it’s just engine settings they sort of change which basically is then a obsolete thing? Except one can still tune a lot but just without having a extra ecu for it.

i wonder how outclassed the cr500 would be compared to these two bikes? but i would be willing to bet the two stroke would be alot cheaper

Where are the other 350 tests like the Beta? It seems like all I ever see are the KTM brands show cased, unless it is a dual sport show down.

Being honest at my age im struggling to hold on to the crf250R literally. It taught me years ago that I wouldn't be able to ride a 450 properly (people commenting here have never ridden anything worked lol)

Why didn’t you change triple clamps
On either? I’ve heard changing to 23.5 or 24 are a lot better?

Starts and Deep dirt kill the 350's, however much easier and funner bike to ride all day. 🎉

The 350 is drastically easier to ride-especially for longer durations. The 450 wears you out and takes more energy to ride. The 350 has actual useable power which makes it the perfect bike.

No. If you weigh more than 180 lbs the 350 can never get out of its own way. Resale value sucks too. Just buy the 450 and buy the Vortex ECU. Done !

Great Video Josh !!!!
