2019 Husqvarna TE300i Weight | Why 10 lbs Heavier than the KTM 300??

[@JasonCaville]

Linkage bolts and bearings are heavy. Plus the longer shock and linkage itself. Next time you service the linkage you could weigh the shock, bolts etc and also weigh the pds shock and bearing. It would make an interesting vid. Nice work!

[@michaelstevenson4200]

In Australia its also about $1000 dollars heavier.

[@haydenbruce2790]

Micky Gainz make your wallet weigh less

[@boblogIIIfan]

Nearly equiv to the 6 days Ktm though

[@curttimmbch]

It's not that heavy, It's just a little husky.....😂

[@Balomis]

Normally I'd say those 10 pounds can only really be felt by a professional racer, but watching Graham Jarvis grab podiums on the white bike proves that weight is only part of the equation

[@MrVinylJunkie]

Does 10lbs Stop Graham Jarvis Cleaning Up Most Major Hard Enduro's ???

[@kyl3dr]

Why not weigh them all with no fuel, or all with 1 gallon? Different tank sizes makes for an unfair comparison.

[@jethroshaw4642]

It should be considered that the husky tank is slightly bigger So factoring fuel capacity +2lbs and then linkage +5lbs, and other parts, subframe etc. Maybe 3lbs Just my reasoning in the matter

[@thegan9143]

Weight of 11lbs isn't going to make a difference to anyone, you can let it play in your head as an important number if your want. Not like the bike is riding you and if it is you're not doing it right. The bike might feel different but it won't be the weight that you are feeling.

[@MXJEFF94]

Makes a difference to me. I would like to shave as much weight as possible. Sure I could skip the all you can eat buffets, but thats too hard. lol

[@thegan9143]

@@MXJEFF94 Unless you have to carry the bike I would doubt you will feel a weigh difference. 11lbs isn't going to make it harder to maneuver, climb, jump or stop. Chassis and suspension will be the only thing anyone would feel. My 2 cents anyway.

[@dr187mx]

I’d take it just for the linkage.

[@rodie4352]

Click bait?? Come on Kyle! lol Different subframe, linkage, skid plate, wheels, map switch, triple clamps, pre load on forks, different brakes and plastics. Adds up

[@bluettr250]

10lbs heavier but better suspension feel for the average rider.

[@travisa6311]

Don't care if its 10lbs heavier it will look good sitting in my garage when I win it.

[@offroad8055]

Ordered a sweatshirt....fast shipping!!!! Placed order on a Weds evening....it arrives at my house in CA on Saturday afternoon!!!!! Thanks Kyle!!!

[@bryanroberts]

Fuel tank is bigger. Linkage... skid plate..

[@eamh2002]

What if they use thicker tyres and inner tubes aswell? It could add like 5lbs easily

[@178Schmitzi]

Hey. The Husky have a bigger Fueltank man! Greetz from a Ktm Factory worker🤙🏻

[@robh3267]

how much bigger

[@178Schmitzi]

Rob Husky 9,7L Ktm 9,0 L

[@Toojwolfgang]

I saw a video where they weighed a tc250 and a sx250. The sx was only one pound lighter so i assume thats due to the composite subframe on the Husky. I think a tx300 and a xc300 would only be about a pound or two apart. The bearings in the linkage weigh like 3lbs alone..

[@stone4858]

Can it be that they are little bit heavier because the Husky come all equipped as the KTM Six Days ? Because the KTM Six Days do have just a bit more stuff to them like fork pre load ecc.... Maybe it would be a good idea to compare the Husky TE300i, to a KTM TPI 300 Six Days.

[@A1soldiersaint]

Kyle there you go again making sense!

[@danpluso]

Are the billet triple clamps much heavier than the cast triple clamps on the KTM?

[@jarredtremain4644]

Cheers mate. Thought I was going crazy every time I had to pick up bike after crash or laying down. Felt like I was so week after years of riding ktm. I think it's also rear shock is longer and sit alot higher than ktm which also makes it feel even heavier when manoeuvring. Think I'm going back to KTM. Fed up with mikuni carburetor problems, only getting 60km to a tank. Old ktm used to get 100+ easy depending on riding conditions. They should have stuck with brembo and keihin. Migura and mikuni suck. Cheap old stock. Spent somuch and now think now going back to Orange. Avagud1

[@MXJEFF94]

Lets talk about how you like the Kreft Moto compared to some of the other off-road revalves you have had. Kreft suspension is $1500-$1700. To get a full revalve for off-road with a WP bladder kit (heavier spring as well) in the rear is $700-$800. So its it worth $1,000 more Kyle?

[@carlatamanczyk3891]

Because of all the technology add-ons. Dirt bike advancement has basically peaked, so the next level is to add more complex and expensive gadgets. Back in 2014. KTM/Husky advertising on the web stated that " Husqvarna is the next step up from KTM." Interpret it how you want to.......

[@prowler13prowler]

Te300 is more comparable to a 300 exc, not the xc-w which is a little more stripped down and not street legal as far as I know. We only gwt the te and exc lines in Europe, besides the full mx bikes. But the main diff are the linkage and the subframe.

[@Buffetology]

Hey, I love your videos and you have helped me a beginner out a lot. I am looking to purchase a really lightweight 4 stroke and am new to the sport. Can you recommend me a super lightweight 4 stroke for a person that has been riding for 1 year ? I weigh 170 lbs and 5 feet 7 inches tall. Looking to hear what you recommend !

[@memmo7732]

you made me curious about the TX, if you can find one would be nice to know the diff with the xc both with linkage.

[@porterdallenbach1639]

Which one feels lighter tho?

[@RacerRed]

fuel tank is bigger.. with a topped off tank it will weigh quite a bit more because gas weighs a lot.

[@aezrm3]

Will you be bringing back the original Dirt Bike Channel hoodies? Would love to buy a few! Keep up the great work.

[@HashAssett]

Linkage is a far better system. It's why pretty much every bike has it now. PDS is more harsh, harder to dial in etc. With linkage it may be heavier but that weight is at the absolute lowest point of the bike, actually increasing stability in turns. The only reason you would want PDS is if your riding style causes you to constantly bash the linkage. But I've Only seen 1 account of that.

[@robh3267]

sounds like you have never ridden a newer PDS bike

[@bikemancody2752]

As a PDS 17 300 Owner. I agree with you.

[@HashAssett]

@@robh3267 I rode an 18 250XC-W. You'll have to tell me if that counts. When I did ride it I experienced exactly what I described. I rode over plenty of logs on it and my TE250, and didnt notice any hang ups on the linkage bike.

[@petergrabsch3736]

not true! the biggest problem is pds doesn't work well if not setup for rider weight. pds when setup is better in many ways as it's simple (minimal maintenance), lighter, easy to r&r for overhaul & actually hang up on logs is a big issue in enduro. Linkage is however better on big jumps i.e. motocross.

[@nitrodan9881]

I wanna ask.... I wanna get a kdx 200 2006 is it good choice

[@chopperz127]

You can never go wrong with a kdx. The forks are mushy but still an all time great trail bike.

[@MrVinylJunkie]

Awesome Bike, Will Keep Mine For Life !!!

[@Dieselpower24]

You should open the contest to international fan's and give them the option of importing the bike, still a lot cheaper than buying one new. If they don't come up with the money re raffle it and get more $$$

[@chopperz127]

That's odd because I had a 15' 350XCF that was not wired for lights.

[@davidchino1234]

Please compare all KTM enduro weights

[@Bimmere]

Was there a weight difference from the stock front forks vs the upgraded front forks that you did to the husky?

[@adamkinch5807]

Which one feels lighter on the trail for you Kyle?

[@EnduroHarakiri]

good job, people should know how is!

[@Tklatti01]

Possibly tires adding to the difference also.(me not knowing what they are)

[@flingndirt_UT]

Huh, that makes no sense..... The difference has to be in the linkage but seems at best that should only be a couple pounds. Would be interesting to see the TX vs XC difference as those both have linkage and a carb.

[@gncbloomingdale6602]

Im not seeing the motosport link and what about the APX link for the skid plate with linkage?

[@Revy8]

i think bikes should be weighed full of coolant and oil but full of fuel. I fill up my tank and it last me 2 or 3 rides. Its unfair to compare a motox bike that has like 6L of fuel to a trail bike with 12L of fuel... If I'm going out for 2hour ride I dont need 12 L of fuel.

[@golferchin76]

7-10lbs heavier still rides a ton better than the KTM tho. That's Husky magic. And when you factor total weight (rider+bike+fluid), that 7-10lbs became nothing.

[@nealbrooker4295]

I wonder what a 2019 350 xc weighs, I bet lighter then these 2 strokes now

[@christerstefansson7416]

As u said , it has linkage

[@geraldkoth654]

You will notice I make comments on the bloated weight of dirt bikes. Here is exactly why. That 10 pounds. Lets find a nice 45 degree hill to climb. Lets go at the speeds needed to do it right, 60 mph. Guess what? That 10 pounds at 60 mph up that 45 degree hill requires. 1.6 horsepower. I chose 45 degrees because it is the least steep part of the Widowmaker Hill Climb. That is in your backyard Kyle. The trouble is that the short motos are all that the bikes are designed to do. Short bursts of power. The real fast dirt riding is ignored.

[@AdventureAuntie]

Same tires and tubliss or inner tubes on both?

[@benward3544]

Do you notice the weight when riding?

[@tedsiarkowski4326]

Just silencer is twice the size Kyle..

[@desmondmowry]

This is Legit.

[@3rdgearwheelie]

Tear the 2 bikes down and find out where that weight difference is!

[@truckingswe]

It easy wy they are heavier subframe is heavier then KTM`s alu subframe and the linkage is the difference.

[@LChem1]

Gosh, my 1987 Cagiva 500 is only 20 lbs heavier

[@JamesRailProductions.]

Wow 10lbs what a big deal

[@randypullman1155]

Where's the beef?

[@ghollum74]

11L tank

[@speedtoad6167]

Subframe

[@sportsmasterkid5447]

10 pounds is nothing!! Come on ?

[@chopperz127]

Ten pounds means nothing and this is a useless video. I just bought the Husky because I wanted linkage rear suspension AND lighting. WIth the KTM's, the XCW has lights but PDS. The XC has linkage but no lighting (and not even pre-wired to accept lighting). I love KTM's too but the Husky is the perfect enduro bike (IMO)

[@pjbeck454]

Are you sure? That’s why a lot of people, including myself get the XC/TX for a faster and better gearing bike with linkage. Then just go buy lights. But I have a TX so maybe that’s why I can just plug lights in. Also last time I check the wiring harness was the same between a XC & TX. You can even find a lot builds by rocky mt or dirt bike mag that have done the same thing

[@daleholmes4355]

PJ BECK my 2015 XC came with all the wiring just no lights could plug in play anytime I wanted to
