Coming from a guy who rides an FX, this bike is an absolute complete piece of greatness. Love my FX but the power, comfort, and rider triangle of the XCW is unmatched.

Such a great bike. Those forks are awesome. My buddy bought a 24 husqvarna fe350w with the same forks and they ride amazing. That sticker you have adds 3.764 horsepower as well.😂 I may have a new bike in the works (yes again) so stay tuned! Another great video my friend. 🤙🏻

Very cool!

Nice ride! I have a 2024 Husqvarna with the same suspension and it’s amazing

[@ThomperBeThompin]

Good choice!

Yeah, I feel like you made a lot of good points. One that stuck out for me was the brake pedal not being big enough, I missed it quite a few times in clutch situations, but I have since gotten used to it. I imagine all of the issues you have mentioned will be a problem for one person or another. My main issue with the bike is the foot. Pegs are too big for me. I dab a lot and sometimes when I try to dab my foot hits the Peg instead, or it catches the side of my boot, stopping me from dabbing, it’s not a major issue, but it does trip me up from time to time. Anyway, thanks for the video. and I’m sure I speak for everyone when I say that I appreciate the time and effort that you put into the dirtbike community.🔥🐜🤙

Thank you!

I have the same bike at 75 hours. Bought the tsp erm and am running the TSP map. You don't realize it until you ride with that map that the factory map is just like the dogshit on your tire.

Quite happy to stay with my Yamaha FX here in Africa, not one unexpected issue at 150hrs.

Can't go wrong with an fx

I have an honest question. I have a 23 ktm 350 sxf and a ktm 150 xcw i race the 150 in hare scrambles and enduros i started about a year ago. I sort of regret buying the 150 even though i love it. I would love a 300 so i could have 2 different bikes in the same class. My question is how do you go about changing bikes so quickly, i dont want to take too big of a loss on the 150 in order to buy a 300 less than a year after i bought it. Any tips on how i could make the jump would be appreciated

@@kevinfales9678 super simple, honestly. I don't spend money on fancy clothes, new I phones, lavish vacations, or constantly eating out. Instead, the one financially dumb thing I knowingly indulge in is dirt bikes. They depreciate like crazy and I know it. It's all about choices, no easy workarounds that I know of. It really helps to buy slightly used if you're willing to. That said, I'm hanging onto this one for a while. I love it.
