2024 KTM 250 XC First Thoughts Review

[@paulcherry474]

I Love my KTM 250 2 stroke XC . Fatty front and Tallon rear . Moab to the Washach mountains . My favorite

[@onthethrottle7104]

Great job pushing those cool looking stats across the screen, looked very professional. I have the 24 300 XCW and love the bike especially the engine. You were riding great on that XC, man. you could get used to that bike and win some races with it!

Rode my buddies 2024 250 XC-W in St George - really nice as well. Didn't research why the XC is mixed gas vs oil injected for the XC-W

[@Ksquared-gb2sy]

Great Bike! Thanks for the review!!!

[@jacobnewman9614]

did you spring the bike for your weight in gear?

[@JesStricker]

Looks amazing

[@tylerhannah4081]

Moto One for the win 👍🏻

Hoping to get myself one of them there new dirt bikes too. Still undecided, looked closely at the Austrian three and they are all desirable. Took a drive up to Emmett to check out the Betas. but it was on a Wednesday and they were closed, haven't made it back up there yet. For sure a 2 stroke, most likely a 300, but the brand could be any of the top four, although I haven't ruled out a YZ either.

Its too bad you didnt get to see some Beta motorcycles! I really like them. It's hard to say which brand is best because all of them are so good.

Nice video. I just demo-rode a '24 300 XC (just a few minutes) and I cannot imagine a better dirt bike for me. These are amazing.

[@RacerRed]

Thats awesome. I really like the 250's because they are more playful and fun. I would have to ride the 200 Beta, 250's, and 300's back to back in order to decide on a new bike. I would buy a 300 if i was doing hard enduro for sure, but as far as fun factor, the 250 wins by far IMHO.

[@CurtisBrandt]

@@RacerRed That's what people say. I haven't ridden the 250. I had a 2022 TPI and I was happy. But this new TBI seems way better.

[@t-bone1890]

I just got a ‘25 250xc. If I kill the bike, while in gear, and I hold the clutch to start it, while I’m gear, it doesn’t like to start. Until I press the kill switch again and put it back in neutral. is that normal?

[@Montana_Motorized]

Your next bike? I went from an 18 250 XC-W carb to a 23 TC 250 and just love the 23. I only ride mountain single track and just like the 23 chassis a lot better.

[@RacerRed]

I really like the new bikes but i also really like my Husky. I could own both at some point, but its unlikely that i will sell my Husqvarna.

[@dougjohnson7141]

Now the question is would you buy one and sell your trusty Husky? How many hours do you have on your Husky at this point?

[@RacerRed]

I don't know how many hours are on my Husky. There is no magnet on the front wheel to activate the trail computer right now. It doesn't log hours or mileage without that connected. I have been told that it doesn't matter and that the sensor for the computer goes off vibration in the engine but i can say for sure it's not currently picking up mileage or hours with the wheel magnet removed. I would not sell my trusty Husky. I would put that money into refreshing my Husky to near new condition instead. It wouldn't cost a lot compared to a new bike to do that. Maybe $1500. The Husqvarna has given me no reason to want to sell it!

[@onthethrottle7104]

​@@RacerRed You looked way too good on that bike not to go for one! You were really gelling there...

[@Ariozo111]

Was my goto 250 till i got my 24 yz250f and now it´s hard go back to ktm. :) If i not talk the 350 but on 250 then i take my new yz all days of the week.
