People don't understand or appreciate what this knife actually is. It's the most revolutionary thing to hit the knife market in decades. Not only is the tang junction the STRONGEST part of the knife, but it achieves this with a full flat crossguard and the overall form factor of a combat knife without compromises. For the most part, if you wanted an overbuilt knife with the geometry to handle regular batonning you were stuck with ESEE and Becker type blades that were very poor combat knives. The CSDFS is actually even stronger than those knives while simultaneously being a much better combat knife. It's a free lunch.

Pure for offroad or also great for street use? I was wondering if this was great for when it is really Hot outside for street riding ?

Probably the best knife in Tops line up besides the Outpost Command

$400 for another 25 miles? Had that option with my 21 WR450F. No can do. Instead I chose to stuff 2 two litre gas bottles in my Tusk saddle bags. I will do the same with my new KLX 300 when I need the extra range. Too bad no one is able to make at least a 3.5 gallon tank for both bikes. I believe Safari makes a 3.3 for my WR which requires cutting the shrouds. The bottom line: For some the extra range is a deal maker and for some the $400 is a deal breaker.

Thanks for the info! I’m trying to decide whether to pull the trigger or not. 👍

Dont get why anyone wants soft protection on the elbows. That is one part that will often touch the ground when fallen off. And man, soft protections hurt. Even the cheapest hard protections are better. The force of the impact gets spread out instead of concentrating to one small area. Ask someone to hit you with a bat on a soft protection and then a hard and you'll get it

What can I do if it’s semi-stripped

I used chapstick and it worked great 👍 on my knives

My 2023 KLX300R did not have a secondary throttle plate from the factory.

What bend bars & any cabling issues?

Dont feed the trolls

Joe x recently smashed this knife..;

Thanks for the video, almost no info on this V3 yet... Deciding between this and the Leatt 5.5 armored top. Not many options with armour on the sides... Is there a piece of the back pad that come off or moves to make room for a neck brace like there is with most other armour? Thanks!

I got my KLX300 a year and a half ago with the hopes that there would eventually be a bigger tank (as in bigger than 2.7gal) available for it. Still waiting, and getting impatient... I may have to get the 2.7 while I wait - the fuel range on this bike is the only thing I hate about it. I do have a rotopax knock off for planned longer runs, but I don't want all that weight on my rear fender... I did send an email to multiple manufacturers to try and convince them that a bigger tank is needed for this bike, and I'd encourage anyone to do the same - they just might if we keep bugging them! Anyway, I thought I'd share my $0.02 - and to say hello to another Canadian KLX300 rider! 🍻

Great knife that doesn’t get a lot of reviews. I have one and highly recommend it.

Boring ten seconds

Just ordered one during Prime Days for $40 CAD and I agree, Trudeau has destroyed Canada and Canadians.

Do you think the ECU flash would play well with the larger air box snorkel and slip on exhaust?

Reverse your selfie cam so you don't look like a 14 year old recording for Twitter.

Is that a tahoma field knife in the back?

Hi🙋‍♂️I just got mine,awesome knife👏🗡greetings from Finland

It does surprise me the cost of the ims tank for the klx. Not sure if it's something to do with their shape or what. But nothing to harass someone over.

Bet you B putting it back on! 95% end up putting it back on the other well they sell the bike. Me not even messing with it, by the way you guys really need to stop copying others and do your thang.

1st bike was a cb500x wich sucked off road, then I got a Dr650 that I love but it is still quite heavy. I am seriously looking at the klx. I do have to do highway regularly but never more than a 100 at a time. You think I will miss my dr if I switch to a klx ?

I have a new stock 2024 and it is complete shit on washboard. Small washboard, shit. Large washboard even shittier shit otherwise great bike.

T7 is a fantastic bike man !! Cheers from Greece !!

We need to see a pull video

Don't know about "sexy" with regard to any adventure bike. Cool as fuck, purposeful as fuck, brutal as fuck...yes. ......not sexy 🤷‍♂️😆

Sorry if I missed it but what year? And how much fuel does the aftermarket tank add?

Clutch lever looks like it had been repaired as well.

Heard "my wife let me" and laughed so hard before I realised I'm in the same boat :')

Do you think this would be ok for the road if wearing a AAA type jacket? Would a slimmer style like a pressure jacket be better?

FYI...My Longhorn is polished. I used Froglube on it and it has left kind of a streaky finish that doesn’t want to come off...water seems to bead on it with no rust issues over several wet trips.

what in the world is a jas bit?

Bought the 3v version for 108CDN$ the Aus 10a costs now 68CDN$, 40 Canadian $ would be an instant buy

can you remove only the chest and wear it without it?

Can this be used for on road riding?

…but that Work Tuff Warranty. ESEE and TOPS will warranty their work.

Anyone knows if 2023 tank fits on news klx 300 2024?. I found an cheaper alternative on ebay but its for 2023 model

Thank for working the knife. Can't wait to see your future adventures with my design. My goal was to create a blade that would take a beating and could be used for years.

Hey, thanks for the review, what would you say about its venting for the heat of summer? Do the shoulder + elbow pads have NO hard plastic shell? Also, did you ever have a chance to compare it to Leatt 5.5 or 6.5?

FYI, the company in chyna who makes these for IMS sells them direct on ebay for $100 less than IMS. I have one in black, it's been great and oh, if I need to, I can carry a rotopax on the rack too. I just hope Justin Trudeau doesn't see this video, you may have the mounties chasing you down the trail LOL.

Is it possible to remove the back plate and wear it on its own underneath a leather bike jacket ?

That looks so much like the Esee that I would just get the Esee and save $200.

I got a klx 300 don't need a bigger tank. My backyard is a playground and Puerto Rico is so small

That pendleton mini hunter looks awesome. I'm starting to think that the smallest knife that will do the job is best to use safety wise, especially in the back country.

Funny i too considered to saw the fender! Ended up just putting the eliminator on

Thanks for sharing.

Personally, I’m looking to add that same fuel tank and the Rotopack 1.5 gallon fuel tank in addition. A couple buddies of mine and I are looking into going on a few Oregon BDR trips. There’s some huge empty space in Eastern Oregon, and having the extra 2.3 gallons of fuel should be just about perfect. I like the idea of adding weight up front, not just in the back because it’s already getting loaded down with saddle bags. That tank looks great as well. You can’t even tell it’s an aftermarket tank, and I hate the looks of desert tanks. Plus, adding 27% of fuel capacity is worth the money to me. I’ve already ran out of gas once, I really don’t want to do that again. That extra .7 gallons would’ve allowed me to get back with extra fuel to spare. Great video!!! I’m subscribing 👍

Very well said. Don't pay any attention to the losers who play the should of game. You got what works for you and allows you to enjoy your ride. I went with Honda CRF 300L cause Kaw 300 was 1,400 more not sure way so much more. Nice bike and video thanks for sharing be safe and keep the 2 wheels up.
