350SXF vs 350XCF (on the trails)

OK really 366 vs 366 but they are both the same so a good fun test.

Just picked up a 22' 350 XCF Factory...Most fun bike ive ever ridden out of the box. Really surprised how light and compliant it feels. Also have a 22' 300xc and super fun too. I think my stable is complete for a while w these 2 bikes. Great video

[@poole0704]

For someone that owns a 16 350sxf I really appreciate these videos. Thanks!

[@dirtbiketv1]

Glad to help!

[@spencerclark2269]

Awesome video. Both those bikes look like a lot of fun and really good looking.

[@dirtbiketv1]

They are!

[@m8sandman]

I went with the sxf, because just as you stated, where I live there are 20 to 1 over the xcf. I guess everyone wants to be a racer. It works well and really all I've changed is dropped a tooth on the front sprocket.

[@VFRCapBob]

I trail rode an old YZ426f for years and thought it was great. When I bought my 08 wr450f the wr felt unridable to me even after the same suspension tuner for the 426 worked on it the 450 just felt truckish. The 12 KTM 350EXCf I just bought feels just right for me. Great all around bikes. CA rider. Wish we had more Utah like trails and less 2 stroke regulation.

[@TheCarlejoseph]

Both are great bikes!

[@timbrandt7211]

Great information

[@POLEXICANHUSSAR]

I picked up a used repo 2021 KTM 350SXF for 5100 at auction. 29 hrs on the meter. Recluse Clutch, Clake RHRB, 13/51. I think someone was building it to be and enduro bike. Spend couple bones for graphics and new plastics. I love in on the trails and woods. I can flick and snap this thing around like nothing. But Im coming off a GEN1 KLR that I used for single track and woods. Anything is easier after few years of single tracking a KLR.

[@RC.56]

Please confirm that the 2023 XCF and Xcfw have a different seat height or ergonomic. The foot pegs seem higher on the W. For someone taller, is the xcf a better fit physically? Or can it all be adjusted. Thanks.

[@RoosterHarris]

I would have to go with the sxf thanks for the upgrade advice

[@dirtbiketv1]

Good choice!

[@RoosterHarris]

@@dirtbiketv1 now I need a pair of pants to go with the shirt

[@FrankieWellman]

Where were you riding in Utah?

[@islanddoggear]

Where are these trails??

[@KosmicHRTRacingTeam]

Could you add a larger battery to work better with the fan and have more reserve? Also, did you add an 18” wheel to the sxf?

[@dirtbiketv1]

Nothing easy to set up-- the stator needs higher output as well.

[@geofflind6748]

The ending trail footage is awesome where is this? Would love to go there some day!

[@dirtbiketv1]

Spanish fork canyon in Utah

[@KosmicHRTRacingTeam]

@@dirtbiketv1 cool, use to ride mtb bikes in that area. Near hobble creek?

[@rdgsupafli]

Just picked up a 16 350 sx-f cheaper than dirt gonna turn it into a woods bike only thing I may do is change out the rear spring for a softer one and maybe a rekluse clutch other than that thing has plenty of power more than I need.

[@rdgsupafli]

Forgot to mention I bought the ktm 350 because of you jay and all your videos lmao let’s see how I like ktm.

[@saraclark8966]

Stop- you’re not fat or lazy. Looks amazing 😉

[@johnnyjohnson2942]

Y'all figured out the bike designed for off road is the best for off road. 🤪

[@missywoods4178]

Ik u guys posted this 2 years ago but where did u get the red plastics can't find em anywhere

[@JoshStreetDesign]

I'm confused why you would say you would have to shift less on the 6 gear vs 5 gear...In my experience you have to shift MORE with a 6 speed vs 5 speed. 5 gears have a wider ratio... lol

[@AllanSmith859]

MX bikes have close ratio gearbox, most of the Enduro and gncc bikes have wide ratio

[@ferguslamb3916]

do you add flywheel weight and or cutch weights?

[@dirtbiketv1]

Clutch weight is easier and cheaper on new four stroke

[@dirtbiketv1]

@Keith Vest try Blais Racing

[@dirtyhooliganmx4337]

Hey what tire are you running on the back of the bike with the light ?

[@POLEXICANHUSSAR]

Looks like a K67 trials tire (LOL shoot, I didnt notice this was 3 year old video comment :P )

[@59plexi]

put a remote on/off switch with Y connector from the battery to switch/fan....get rid of that temp sensor thing, turn the fan on/off at you're own discretion.....cheaper fix than a Stator upgrade.....

[@mixalis6168]

WOW a trail bike is better than a MX bike in the trails !@!! ahahahahahah

[@drebk]

[@theblishknovk]

A 2019 sxf 250 happened to fall into my lap, trying to trade it for a 2 stroke enduro. This bike is sick but after taking it around the block i can already tell its gonna be ultra tiring to ride in the rough stuff. If i dont end up trading it tho i am sure i will find places to have fun on it. Sand pit would prob be a blast on this sort of bike. I dont ride track at all

[@lozadazx14]

No reason for a fan if the bike don’t have the power to turn it on !!! 🙆🏻‍♂️ save the money 💵

[@Wide000]

These 4t easily overheat in tight trails. The fan is needed when the airflow is minimal.

[@lozadazx14]

Wide000 that’s why I like my 2019 300 xc 💪

[@Wide000]

@@lozadazx14 Yes, 2 stroke do not overheat as easily as 4t. They are also much less prone to stalling and are better trail bikes overall. I prefer the 4t for motocross though. Each have their pros and cons.
