Webb got a lot of riders hooked on those guards after the San Diego mudder a couple years ago. I would run the Acerbis frame guards instead of the plastic ones on the bike. I like the extra grip but it’s not for everyone. The FI light cable and start cable does this. It’s exposed and wires pull out … on all their models. Tank was large enough for a two-hour race without a pit stop.Īs far as complaints go, KTM needs to fix their electronics suite behind the number plate. Brakes never had issues in the mud on race day. I’d rather have a little more punch when I need it and get to the high rpms where this bike shines. It was a little too mellow for my liking. Less rigid feeling in the hands! I tested map one and two plus traction control beforehand. “Those split triple clamps are the unsung hero of any KTM. That made for easy throttle control maneuvering the bike in trees. I liked that it wasn’t as jerky as an SXF model in 1st/2nd gear in tight sections. Third gear seemed like it pulled forever out on the corn fields. The motor was “light” feeling and revved to the moon. Raceday everything was different, but the suspension was the last of my worries. The suspension was plush and had good hold up testing it the day before the race. Maybe less moving parts? Felt like I could move it around a little more. TRAVIS: “In comparison to the 450, I know it’s not much lighter on the scale but it felt lighter. ![]() The various guards are all thought out well to prevent mud build-up. The last thing he wanted was a quick pit stop. Travis declined this feature and used an adapter for a threaded gas cap. The fuel tank also can accept a Dry Break quick-fill. Kailub and crew learned long ago that the vented rotor wears brake pads at an alarming rate in the mud. Case in point, the solid rear brake rotor. It’s truly thought out for cross-country racing. The cool thing about the bike is that it’s not just a Red Bull sticker kit. It’s doubtful that there would have been any better choice for not only for his first GNCC, but his first-ever mud survival run. Travis is a dedicated motocross rider who owns a 450SX. The fuel tank is made by IMS specifically for KTM and will accept a Dry Break quick fuel adapter. What’s not to love? The 350XC-W not only is the bike that Kailub Russell prefers (although he has raced the 450 and 250 at different times), but it’s also the bike used by most EnduroCross riders and a large group of Vet motocrossers, who prefer it over the SX for its six-speed gearbox. Dirt Bike videographer Travis Fant volunteered for the duty and came back somewhat traumatized, but intact. We got a chance to ride the 2022 KTM 350XC-F in what turned out to be the most demanding GNCC of the year: the rain-soaked finale in Crawfordsville, Indianna.

Now, off-road riders are getting the same treatment. These are premium-level motocross bikes that are more or less replicas of the machines ridden by Cooper Webb, Marvin Musquin and the Red Bull KTM Factory motocross team. The R tells you that it is dirt-ready, and it is more off-road capable than the slick-tired SMR racer.The KTM Factory Editions have been a tradition in the motocross world for over 10 years.
