Guys. I’m not kidding you when I tell you that I could own this bike as my primary bike and be very happy. I was a bit skeptical about how much I’d like the EFI 2 strokes when I heard about them. It seemed to me that it was going to “take something away” from the power and feel of those motors that I have come to love. That simply isn’t the case. This bike feels so good to me that even though I’m not crazy about the transmission ratios, I could totally own this as my primary bike and love it.
It’s good. It’s really good. The KTM 250 XC-W TPI is also good. The future is bright for 2 strokes if you ask me.

Use whatever bike is the most fun for you to ride and the most reliable. Yesterday I just got a Honda crf230f and I already love it.

[@maershkinschrabs7597]

Rad Brad102203 Ever seen, frickin jims adventures? Incase you haven't, I reckon its one of the best youtube riding channels and very underrated. He does alot of riding and reviews of the crf230.

[@SNelens]

You're riding has improved so much. Well done! Lots of time on the bike has paid off.

[@haydenleonard3456]

i'd love to see him open his bike up and slide around some corners

[@dirtbikesicehockey4788]

You should be a Husky fan justs because of its rifle inspired apature sight crown. Great vid. Keep 'em coming

[@MrJasonfromcanada]

I have my 2017 300 running similar to Tyler’s with a JD kit. I have to agree that running a tad rich does calm the initial hit off idle and smooths the throttle out. The down side (if you want to call it that) is a bit of gurgle off idle, but even with that it still feels smooth.

[@tezzanewton]

I'm currently riding the 17 Husky FE350 , its awesome. I"ll be getting a 19 Husky injected 300 2 banger. cant wait.

[@TheDaltonmichaels]

a lot of people are saying it has less grunt in certain areas on both the Husky and Ktm dont immediately assume it is the fuel injection these new motors could have different engineering of the porting on the intake and exhaust . i think everyone might be too quick to blame the fuel injection alone.

[@tannercorwin1001]

Would love to see a direct comparison between the Husky TE and the KTM XCW. Linkage vs PDS for an everyday rider. It seems this is the big discussion on a ton of forums. Thx for the great videos Kyle!

[@DirtBikeChannel]

I have a number of videos coming in the next month that will deal with this.

[@tannercorwin1001]

Sweet! thx

[@carlatamanczyk9199]

Kyle, I would like to see you do a top end longevity test on the carbed version vs the EFI version.

[@spanner752]

hey mate! love your channel,,,have you tried a TSP power kit from 2 stroke performance melbourne australia?,,,ive got a 2020 tx300i with the kit and it rocks hard,,,,,worth looking into mate

[@Trad-Am]

What you'd really like is the tx version when they decide to efi it.

[@gncc1race]

The giant tumbleweed... Is that an official accessory from Husqvarna? LOL!!

[@carlatamanczyk9199]

Personally I like the torque of the 3000 for Idaho's tough trails, and I am a 68 year old rider. But if a 250 is your bag, go for it Kyle🙂

[@broncosfan-dk1uj]

Kyle PLEASE make a video comparing all the bikes from the last few years you’ve had. If you had to buy one bike what would it be? I know you loved the yz250x but is this husky better?

[@CraigSmith568]

I know this is an older video, but I looked at one of these today, only it is the 2020 model. Also looked at the KTM XC250, but it is the 2021. The Husqvarna is priced $1,000 less, so it is very appealing. I am 56 and getting into the sport, so with me being new and the type of riding I will do I don't think I will tell the difference between one and the other.

[@carlatamanczyk9199]

Top end means nothing for the trails we ride though. Low end torque is what we want. But I enjoy your evaluations Kyle. Keep them coming.

[@aronstrugar1490]

What is the gas range on the fuel injection versus the carburetor ones

[@nickarchuleta9727]

You'll have to come to southern Colorado some time there's tons of riding here

[@jackieenx7085]

It's my main bike and I have absolutely zero apologies for that.. the bike is an absolute pleasure

[@a64738]

Cold start on TPI bikes it is very different as they only get pure oil injected into the crank and it takes time for oil to get to the piston specially in cold climate areas (like here where summer is +5C to +10C) and when doing winter riding. There is many videos here of pistons of TPI show wear marks probably caused by lack of lubrication on the piston during cold start. They should maybe make another cold start oil injector to lubricate the piston when starting. .................,

[@vincefairleigh6899]

Kyle, any plans on reviewing the new ktm free ride? Any thoughts on it?

[@andyjackson9614]

If they ever come out with an XC/TX 300 with TPI I would probably buy that bike.

[@crashnburn3980]

As of right now what is your favorite bike to ride for enduro type riding?

[@RedLightning]

Shoutout to the tumble weed for becoming youtube famous

[@smokerace1870]

Is the stock carb. That bad on the KTM? Lectron carb.or 650 on ebay that's a lot of money so again how bad or they?

[@ktm-bc1dw]

Kyle run the forks at sport settings!!

[@rav1236]

I recently got KTM TPI and see no downside to fuel injection so far. I am a senior C rider east coast woods

[@shecterelectric432]

Would this be able to ride in a motocross track?

[@yessir863]

Nice KTM

[@RickdMorty93]

When are you gonna do a review on the 2022???? Lol

[@MR-04]

Husky make some of the BEST bikes !!! (You should make the husky your main bike 😉)

[@yorkchris10]

I'm surprised no-one has come up with a k/s lever that doubles as a spoon for the weight weenies. Some people don't want carry a useless lever and added weight.

[@chrisdunn2544]

The hole deal about click bate makes no sense to me I click on kyle videos cause I enjoy his videos and he does a great job and their always in focus and I'm subscribed to him too, now if he had a nice half naked chick on it I would say yeah its click bate. PS. The half naked chick good idea lol

[@adambatchelder4121]

Lack of low end between 17 + carb and efi is really saying something as 17+ carb bikes are noticeably softer then the 12 to 16 carbureted bikes

[@toadamine]

Doesn't start when cold, forks aren't as good as air forks, transmission isn't the best, but this could be my main bike... 🤔 Could be yes, but why not get the one that has all the stuff you like? Lol

[@samuelyeet6006]

What year is he talking about? Why doesnt it have the air forks?

[@flaviodesouza2120]

Compare to beta 200rr please.

[@timbomuffin]

If your not at work and your on the trail on C90 Honda it beats the shit out of being at work tbh

[@jesusharp8065]

Can that bike stock suspension handle fast desert whoops pretty well?

[@rogermty1971]

I think so, have one TE 300 and feels well on whoops, although I’m not an expert rider at all. What limits my speed is my chin hitting the handlebars if I’m too fast, good thing was wearing my helmet.

[@ryldent3953]

I thought Kyle was going to hit into Tyler lol.

[@ZSharkPH]

But if you owned the Husky and Tyler wanted to trade you his 300 for it... Would you do it??

[@DirtBikeChannel]

Nope.

[@ZSharkPH]

Wow !!! wasn't expecting you to say that... Now I really need to try an injected 250.

[@countryboy211]

I’d stick with the ktm

[@kevingorzny]

I don’t understand why the answer may be surprising? Because it’s not a 300?

[@DirtBikeChannel]

My primary bike has been a 2017 250XC for over a year.

[@kevingorzny]

Dirt Bike Channel ok understood; thanks for the clarification. Not a surprise in my eyes; the open-chamber fork should suit us better in UT terrain. The rest is so similar....

[@nearkolob]

This guy has to be buying subs...

[@UltraSS-nj8kd]

Theres alot of comments on saying this was "clickbait" . Everyone is sick of #clickbait for sure but is this like a extreme case or case of it, No. But i will say it does give off the vibe. *Thats why i don't watch joey & dana they are clickbait idiots for sure.* I dont believe kyles was intentional & the video is about the content... Though if it was with him saling his 2 KTMs on craigslist ,to be like im buying the Husqvarna right now. That would have been a "suprise" if you want to nit pick it.

[@iD4v1d]

Test

[@Bimmere]

First

[@jeanshepherd7185]

get on the pipe

[@hukabuktx6753]

This guy has never met a bike he doesnt like. Of course he only rides brand new top of the line bikes.

[@marcb4788]

Spend more time on riding and riding techniques. The bike is only 20% of the equation in riding, maybe even less than that.

[@kanehowe1618]

So true. I’m riding a 2010 and I I could run with anyone at my skill level with the latest and greatest

[@iD4v1d]

Marc Battaglia I hate it when people say this. The bike you ride is extremely important, it will be very difficult and time consuming to even learn riding techniques on the wrong bike, so that 20% becomes much bigger. It's one thing when you're already a pro and can ride any bike well (although nearly all pros use 250-300cc 2 strokes, I don't think that's a coincidence), but when you're learning, it's a different story.

[@kanehowe1618]

iD4v1d not really I learnt on a tractor bike then a 15 year old 65 still turned out alright

[@BrokenSprocket]

You need the wright bike for the riding you do. The brand and cc’s not as important as ride time.

[@convex7456]

iD4v1d I see guys on 125cc 2t pass 450f on the trails . Very common. Bike matters. But if your good. Bike doesn't matter unless professional racing. Or extreme rocky Hill climbs

[@eyalcr500]

no suspension (rear or front) from WP can be "fine" , let alone "really good" ....

[@garthlundquist8316]

eyalcr500 I own 3 late model Husqvarnas and find the suspension systems to be superb. Both the Xplor48 and the AER 48 forks are totally competitive or better than anything else currently offered. Nobody complains about the shock. No other manufacturer offers the rider a choice of systems ( link or PDS, air fork or spring fork) like KTM/ Husqvarna. Just buy the system that fits your needs and terrain, and be sure to fit the proper springs for your rider weight. Most who complain have not actually ridden the new suspension systems. Pros all custom tune their suspension anyway.

[@lanceg.8458]

Clickbait Alert-

[@DirtBikeChannel]

Lance, I literally gave the video a title of the exact thing I talked about in the opening minutes of the video. Explain to me why this therefore is a click bait title? :)

[@lanceg.8458]

Sure. Watch the news tonight and when they say "we ask a Jazz player if he likes it here in Utah, and the answer may surprise you" so you watch and he says "yeah I like it here, nice place..." WTH? Feels like you've been had- Where is the surprise to your teaser Kyle? You own the orange version of this bike, they are world class bikes anyway, why would any of your subscribers be 'surprised' to hear you say " I don't love the tranny, not in love with the forks, but I COULD have this as my main bike". Sorry if that doesn't compute. I'm not trying to be a keyboard warrior here but I think this cheapens your channel and dumbs down things slightly. The videos are great and speak for themselves without the bait.

[@bobagnew6070]

Lance G. I was quite happy with the title and don't see how it cheapens anything. The only thing that would cheapen it is pushing paid promotions. Calling him out on click bait is precious.
