Can the Freeride 250R keep up with the bigger bikes?

2016 KTM Freeride 250R on some fun singletrack trails in Utah! Like, comment, share, subscribe and all that rubbish..

Hey man, I am currently looking to buy one of these bikes and so far am having no luck. I am 5’10” and I only ride single tracks and rocky terrain. Any ideas on where I could buy one cheap?

I am also 152 pounds

Honestly, with COVID, it's hard to find any good deals out there... wish I had better (or any) advice for you on that, sorry! Good luck!

Hello sir, i am new into enduro. I am 16,5 and i ride downhill MTB for years. My dad got a Husqy Te610. I am riding it since 2 years but i did enduro for 4 times. I can handle it easily but as you'll guess, it's heavy and it's dual sport bike. The place where i live is the heaven of singletracks, rocky and technical sections. In the future i will buy an enduro bike and i am curious about will Freeride250R fit better for me than others (250exc etc.).

What is your height? Also, do you ever ride desert or track? If you only ride singletrack and technical stuff, the Freeride will be awesome for you and feel very familiar to what you're used to on a mountain bike. But it will not be comfortable as a TE300 or an XC. Check out this other video I made comparing the Freeride and the TE300: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4LMmK2Bpqijl6s

@@gregoryhouse9295 180cm, you'll honestly be a bit tall for it compared to what you're used to on other bikes, but like I said, if your riding and terrain is tighter and more technical, you'll be out-riding and out-maneuvering the guys on normal bikes!

Thinking about getting a free ride. I'm 5'10 and 195. I sold my ktm 350 last year. I'm almost 50 y old. Do you think I'll be happy w a free ride. Your dad seemed to like it

[@w2racing-recycle282]

Number-one question is where do you live and ride? If the only things you ride are singletrack and technical rock trails, there is absolutely nothing you will be missing out on the Freeride! BUT, if you ever do any riding in the desert, the dunes or the track, you will be very unhappy with the Freeride and will dearly miss that 350. The Freeride is designed and built with low-speed technical riding in mind where low-end power and low weight are paramount in sacrifice for top-end power and suspension that can handle high-impact hits. I have a review video comparing the Freeride to a Husqvarna 300 (link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4LMmK2Bpqijl6s). Hope this all helps! What year was your 350 and what trim? I hope to get a 2016-or-newer 350 XCF for my next bike.

[@mayday4599]

It’s perfect for you, it’s reallly easy to ride and it’s small

[@mayday4599]

It’s only 5kw(7hp) but it gets the job done easily
