2021 Gasgas EX 350F - First Impression

[@korenba]

the fact you mention the gear number is great !!! I learn a-lot from this, thank you for this video.

[@dirtniron]

Glad it was helpful! thanks Barak

[@markstrahlendorf7738]

There was alot of uproar when KTM bought into Gasgas, but I think the result has been very positive. Looks like a great bike.

[@dirtniron]

Totally agree, I think its way better than let Gasgas go bankrupt..

[@DirtZen]

Great review. Gasgas is doing a great job promoting their bikes. I just recently got a 21 Husky FE350 and I'm now a huge fan of the 350's now. Feels like the perfect size, better power and control over the 250s and not overwhelming power as the 450s. It's great to see you do reviews on all kinds of bikes. Oh, and R.I.P the Cactus haha 👍✌️

[@dirtniron]

haha, yea, the 350cc is really great engine, its just right !

[@olliechristopher467]

Very nice. I noticed you were going in and out of the ruts seamlessly. The bike sounds really good. Thank your friend for letting you show us what it's capable of.

[@dirtniron]

Thank you too, glad you liked this little review

[@robh3267]

The real question here is how were you able to get someone who only rode their brand new bike for an hour to give it to you for a month.

[@dirtniron]

hahah, and it was John's idea ;) I have good friends!

[@johnmaldonado6999]

I like the RED. I'll be looking forward to your impressions of track test.

[@dirtniron]

thanks for the bike John, track video coming soon!

[@racesla]

One thing that impresses me about the new Gasgas 4 strokes is the weight, or lack there of. 221 lbs wet no fuel. Also coming with a spark arrestor is a nice touch.

[@dirtniron]

yes, exactly.. the bike is really light

[@BigDaveTALKS]

Thank You. Glad you got hold of this bike. I have really been considering getting that bike or the 2t 300. Looking forward for more info

[@dirtniron]

Hope you enjoy it! thanks Dave!~

[@davidhewitt555]

Brought gas gas 350 exf as my beta 300rr was trying to pull my arms out there sockets Looking for smoothness and I've found it in the 350,riding skills have improved loads 👌 👍

[@jetdr]

Been riding a yz250 that I built for woods riding, I as well am tired of the power trying to kill me. reason I am looking at getting a 4 stroke.

[@NirHason]

"2nd gear...no clutch...hit a cactus...2nd gear" LOL Great video, Rado! :)

[@dirtniron]

Thanks Nir! hahaha

[@brentbeach8018]

I bought this bike and so far I really like it. It's the first 350 I've owned so I can't compare it to the other two.

[@dirtniron]

great choice Brent, have fun!

[@matthewhammond9502]

Yeah all the bikes are pretty much the same but the Husky and KTMs have an expansion chamber which give them more bark plus he didn't Rev it out they rev out to 13000 RPM

[@dirtniron]

yea, she can rev way higher.. we might be able to try it at the track ;)

[@christophermartinez8389]

Thank you for the great review!!

[@dirtniron]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Mtxracer79]

Does the bike have good engine braking?

[@keithbell8960]

Great review! I really like these bikes. Probably be my.next bike

[@dirtniron]

Right on! glad you like it Keith!

[@powertoyz]

Question i hear that slap in low rpm... my bike does the same is that ok mine litterally has 1 hour on it same bike but a 2023

[@Wide000]

Personally, I like the stock low KTM bend. But I cut 3/4 '' on each side because they are too wide. I just did that with the Husaberg, which have a slightly different bend than KTM, but still low, and also on my sxf 350 when I first got it.

[@dirtniron]

Right on, thanks for sharing!

[@pimpinpenz]

My dream bike right there

[@dirtniron]

cool man, you should enjoy these videos then ;)

[@thomastjg53]

What do you think of the air forks on the gas gas ? Looks like they might be a little softer then the KTM ? They seemed to handle the rocks ok .

[@mattwindell1638]

I went from a 2020 300xc to a 2021 ex300 and the forks are a lot more plush on small stuff. Changing air pressure makes a huge difference in how the forks respond too. I thought reducing air pressure made the 2020 feel harsh but it just makes the gasgas more plush. It uses a lot of travel.

[@dirtniron]

should be the same forks..

[@itsonlyjeff]

@@dirtniron The have different internal settings

[@akeebreaky7521]

If you could choose that one or a yz250fx which would you pick?

[@dirtniron]

this one, I like 350cc power

[@MrRonronnj]

I just purchased a 23 model but haven't ridden it yet. Its 5 degrees outside

[@dirtniron]

congrats, great bike!

[@zardportugal]

The GasGas seams to me a pretty good machine. I liked it. Cool video.

[@dirtniron]

yea, pretty cool bikes for sure, thanks bro!

[@painsrides3616]

I love this 2T Husky I got and the engine is a ton more powerful than the 4T GTX but I'm still not sure I'm 100% sold on 2 stroke power yet.... Someday I'm going to have to try one of these orange\white ed KTM 4Ts to really compare.

[@dirtniron]

yea, you should give it a shot, its good to try many different bikes

[@Dashriprock4]

I've used to follow you a while back right when you bought that husky. I just pulled the trigger on a 22 gas gas 350 and it lives up to all the hype. An amazing bike

[@painsrides3616]

@@Dashriprock4 Hi Jeff, I'm still running the Husky. I'm very used to the 2T power and I like riding this bike so much, for now, I have now plans to change any time soon. But I'd still like to take a run on a KTM 4T 😉

[@Dashriprock4]

@@painsrides3616 You have a great bike and there is no need to change. Try the 350 if you ever get the chance. If there is any bike that might make you bust a move it’s a mid size thumper: Beta 350, Austrian 350, Sherco 300, SWM 300.

[@Lostonabike]

Wow finally somebody who can do a grunt test on 350 does this have just as much resistance to stall as a YZ 250 FX?

[@dirtniron]

It was pretty good stock but now it’s even better we got Vortex ignition done by twisted and is way better

[@Lostonabike]

@@dirtniron isn’t there a huge wait for vortex?

[@shawnmcgrath4631]

@@dirtniron which model?

[@Dashriprock4]

@@dirtniron was it pretty resistant to stalling after it was broken in or did you need the vortex to make it work?

[@jetdr]

Have they fixed the infamous 350 flameout with this Bike? I love the 450's but want a 350, just don't want to deal with that issue.

[@dirtniron]

mapping can solve it, we had Twisted help us out

[@verdonrocksphotography3510]

heard only nice thing about GASGAS, thank you, V!

[@dirtniron]

me too, thanks Verdon!

[@3BrothersExtreme]

Looks like a fun bike! Good video!

[@dirtniron]

Thanks! 👍

[@chadpurdonyt8478]

They did focus on the style and different things they focused on just making the bike good and the stuff inside the engine

[@dirtniron]

its a really good bike

[@PennsylvaniaDualSport]

This is not a tight northeast woods bike by any means. Needs open quad type trails to be happy

[@dirtniron]

thanks for sharing, makes sense I think

[@thomaseberhardt6603]

GasGas build in the future?

[@dirtniron]

in couple years maybe

[@bigals.ktms.9937]

I think 350s are more than enough power for 95 % of us normal racers.

[@dirtniron]

yes, absolutely! 350cc engine is really good

[@Chris-po1xh]

Sounds like your getting some chain slap when you lug it. My 2021 Husqvarna FE350 gets some chain slap when being lugged. Must be a 350 thing.

[@dirtniron]

good ears Chris! :)

[@powertoyz]

Yours to... mine is brand new and it does this should i be concerned?

[@Chris-po1xh]

​@Aiden Anderson I don't think you need to be concerned my FE350 was doing it on hour one, I kept checking my chain slack just to make sure everthing was within correct adjustment. At first I thought it was my upper chain guide but in this video his doesn't have one and I could hear it when he was lugging the bike.I know it's kind of annoying but I think it's just something 350 owners will have to live with.

[@robalgar8001]

Not easy avoiding the clutch lever on the tight stuff , well done , I did notice you clutch your up changes , I've not done that for some years now , didn't think it necessary ? Bike looks pretty although a little basic as you mentioned . Think it just needs a few boltons and maybe some graphics . Videos inspired me to go ride in the morning 👍

[@dirtniron]

thanks Rob, glad you like it. I use clutch when shifting up, I grew up like that.. hope you had a good ride ;)

[@christosexarchos8621]

BRAKTEC BRAKES this is from official gas gas side.YOU SAID BREMBO.why?

[@dirtniron]

because I am right. 4 strokes have brembo brakes, check out this official gasgas website www.gasgas.com/en-us/models/cross-country/4-stroke/ex-350f-2021.html

[@ED-on8to]

What gearing is stock?

[@dirtniron]

not sure, have to count it

[@jawanzabanyard1400]

14 /51

[@tcmx712]

It's a crying shame that people are only just buying up the gasgas in droves now. If only people were doing this 2 years ago as the 2019 ec300 was arguably better than the 300exc, as good as the ktm owned bikes are I still believe it's a downgrade for gasgas

[@dirtniron]

interesting, thanks for sharing. Rieju will hopefully keep it up

[@xd_gangster693]

man if i had the cash, id go pick me up a 250f gas gas

The 350 is a great all around bike. They work good on the track also.
