👍 Dirt and Iron taking over at the end 🤣

[@johnfavre1987]

Waiting to see the GasGas street legal lineup.

[@AlexxxVelutini]

yeah

[@ryanpatrick4813]

Are they in the works?

[@budzilla6168]

That’d be lit

[@babisglykiotis2723]

yep +1 for a legal street version is welcome

[@rztrzt]

Apparently there are differences wrt suspension valving & and engine mappings on the GG models and people find them better than the ktm/husky setups.

[@ssse3123]

Your tracks are too smooth. Look how Rado just sits the whole straightaway 😉

[@jetdr]

Gas Gas was never in my target sight's, that is until I went to a Dealer. sat on one and had to double check that it was a 4 stroke 3 times. narrow and light like a 2... I had my heart set on a yz450fx or a KTM, well I may have changed my mind totally.. now I just need to decide 350 or 450. I don't need the full 450 power but I don't want to deal with the 350 flameout.

[@TheKitchenTechnician]

After four Yamaha WR 450’s and saying I would never own an “orange” bike, now I don’t have to!

[@basketball7677]

It still is

[@johnfryman4428]

That bike looks like it rips ! - Great review, I want one.

[@callmewes5121]

I like this gas gas, should be in the market for a new bike in 3 yrs. I will be looking at this one first for sure

[@beverlyboys73]

Great video, it's always Nice to check out other brands. Thx

[@dirtbiketv1]

Thanks for watching!

[@relaxing_sounds277]

Great video guys

[@chrisvozza6530]

Yea that gearing seems rite in that sweet spot for that more open track

[@selfmotivatedmotorcycles]

Nice Video, good to know GasGas is good quality Bike if I ever come across one. Barcia seems to do OK on one.

[@wyattsprague2218]

I got my kid the mc250f and added a map switch... my kid loves it and is killing it at the track. It's the real deal.

[@manuelfvdias]

What's the street legal version of this model? Thanks

[@Bubs941]

Also comes with no map switch and different rims.

[@craighogland8509]

harness is there for the map switch if you want to add. will plug in and work, at least according to my KTM dealer.

[@Drewski423]

The ex still has brembo. Just the ec has brake tech.

[@TrevorHartl-i6l]

Sick post. Rock and roll

[@jojolloren3642]

Okay I'm impressed when are you selling them in the Asia particularly Philippines

[@AdventureMotoEnduro]

mine looks identical EC 350f road rego in Australia, apart from hydraulics brakes / clutch is braketec ,and with the EC you get enduro plush WP Xplor fork, rear tail light and head light horn blinkers dealer left blinkers off , didnt come with a cooling fan for summer, in OZ we need on road rego to ride in the state owned forestry for insurance and liability , thats why we mostly sell exc and ec fe enduro spec models

[@mecalpsha4473]

Goin to get the KTM EXC-F 350 (so can plate it)

[@keithbell8960]

Header, rims, muffler? All.lessernthsn ktm Handle bsrs?

[@colefelchak7853]

Wrong in the brakes. The EX300 has brembo brakes and clutch where the EC300 has the braketek. I own a EX300 and it's nothing short of amazing.

[@dirtbiketv1]

Thanks!

[@mxgryan]

MC, Motocross!

[@TopshelfJunior]

Woah, 3:30 - 4:15 was so confusing lol. But I'm guessing this bike is the same bike as the KTM 350 XCF.

[@tykes0298]

Top speed??

[@keithsada1380]

EX250 2-stroke is the best bike ever.

[@shoefly757]

Can you confirm or deny that on the 450 and 250 MX bikes the intake is restricted on the GG to keep it from matching the KTM power level?

[@dirtbiketv1]

No its not-

[@ZonaEnduro]

Just rode one, 350, no power at all!! How feel yours?

[@stevestiffler9120]

Just sold mine for same reason.

[@dirtbiketv1]

wow- was it a XCF or SXF and 2017 and newer or a EXC?

[@leroywilliams7210]

Buddies FX350 feels like it has more power than my ‘14 450 did. It’s a monster

[@ZonaEnduro]

@@leroywilliams7210 I rode an enduro bike, probably that was the problem. it's smooth, but man, when you need that 4t power is not. good bikes for beginners I guess.

[@leroywilliams7210]

@@ZonaEnduro Yes, very big difference. I’ve ridden the 250 and 350 EXCs or equivalents and they are much more lethargic! My son has the GasGas EX250f and it’s a ripper.

[@favmat]

That track tho! A billiard

[@flaviodesouza2120]

For enduro fim, xact ou xplor is the best fork?

[@Gregamz]

Does the lack of the “power bomb” segment on the header pipe give it less bottom end power compared to the 350XCF?

[@dirtbiketv1]

I can't really tell where it would be less but it could be a bit less on bottom

[@shawnmcgrath4631]

At 6’5 230lbs would this be a good bike ?

[@dirtbiketv1]

Yes. Email me for exact questions on bikes.

[@carlhansen8668]

Looks the the same frame and motor as my husky 350.fe 2015

[@jojolloren3642]

But the exhaust is also cheaper designed for four stroke bikes with no resonator and its not really cheaper

[@spencerclark2269]

Sweettttt so great thank you

[@purtnearperkins]

But the 300 2t still remains at the top of the food chain for a trail bike.

[@dirtbiketv1]

Amen--haha- but I am starting to shift a bit when I ride them back to back-- both are great.

[@Motor-City_Ben-Diesel]

The 350 is more of a do it all bike if you wanna ride trails/track and even on the road. I was going to get the 300 2 stroke but I think I’m going to get one of these now since I want to ride track and go ride up north on the trails.

[@purtnearperkins]

@@Motor-City_Ben-Diesel You really just need two bikes to do it all 🤪. I really like the technical trails. The TE300i or 300 XC-Wi are just so dang phenomenal in slow technical stuff. Everyone I see on a 4t struggles with stalls and flameouts while we just tractor through, up and over on the 300’s. (My son and daughter have the 250i’s and do awesome as well). With the 4t only firing every other stroke they require twice the amount of throttle to work in slow technical areas. The one and only disadvantage I can gripe about on the 300’s is you’ve got to keep the speed under 60 when riding more than a short distance at high speed. So I just cruise at 55 on the dirt roads. The 350 would be better if your riding long distance and need higher speeds.

[@godlesstheist3750]

May i ask why do you go under 60 mp/h on a 2 stroke for? what happens if you go around 60 or more on a long ride?

[@purtnearperkins]

@@godlesstheist3750 it will do 70-80 for sure. The gearing is a little different and you can ride higher speeds at a lower rpm on the 4t. It would only mean you’ll be doing a top end sooner. I prefer to ride 60 and under for less wear and tear and I will do my top end at 200-300 hours rather than 80-100 hours.

[@davidgrunklee8407]

Are the gear ratios exactly the same as my 20' 350xcf?

[@dirtbiketv1]

Yes

[@Motor-City_Ben-Diesel]

They do not make it easy to remember which model is which with all these different letters for ktm husky and gasgas its frustrating lol

[@kirkdunn1379]

TC, FC is two cycle, four cycle, etc would imagine I would buy GAS GAS for 1k less and get same bike....why not

[@chadolson1864]

What is best for me to get started on I’m 5’7 inches and 350 pounds

[@dirtbiketv1]

[@everywherelocal]

yeah! 👌

[@jacobfreese1810]

I just hate the silver rims, otherwise I dig it.

[@dirtbiketv1]

They do look better way longer for sure--

[@leroywilliams7210]

I like em, my black rims are always scratched to all hell after a year of hard trail riding

[@Dirtjunkie8764]

I like the silver rims too. No visible scratches and they’re kinda retro.

[@johnchafin3817]

not a cast triple clamp. They are forged and the same as the forged KTM uses.

[@dirtbiketv1]

yes-- sorry

[@ryanhlivka7475]

Bro they literally say it’s marketed for a top mid and lower tier brand

[@dirtbiketv1]

Ya not sure what your saying but that is the plan. Luckily right now the 21 and 22 EX350 is the same as the KTM. 350XCF. Other models are not the same with lesser brakes etc.

[@ryanhlivka7475]

@@dirtbiketv1regarding the “theories” why KTM bought these brands. Ktm announced when they bought Gasgas that the idea is Husky to be a top tier, ktm a mid level brand and GasGas an entry level brand. Wasn’t import laws or taxes... It was branding to make a closer priced product to the Japanese bikes.

[@dirtbiketv1]

@@ryanhlivka7475 Sure-- But also be careful to believe all information put out:-)

[@thevtadventure1062]

Yeah but what about other parts? So can you use all KTM parts on it? Like for rebuilds and other small hard parts? So it seems like it would be a decent deal compared to KTM also would be something different. So I can see why they made them.

[@Wide000]

Yes you can.

[@jasonluhmer4792]

yeah but you cant trust KTM, Just like they did with Husaberg, Get the average guy to save and scrimp just to buy the new Husaberg 70 degree, But then dump the entire line, with everyone losing dealer support and mostly parts availability. Now at least these are basically the same as KTM which is definately a plus.

[@Dashriprock4]

They fucked Italian Husqvarna owners also. They are a shitty unethical company but I still like this damn bike! 😅

[@Fmontes]

I think "MC" = MotoCross.

[@stevetrojano1595]

EX300 is still Brembo. It is only the EC that gets Braktech

[@lozadazx14]

Yeah it’s a great value ktm 😂😂😂😂 that’s what I have a 2021 husqvarna fc450 rockstar 🔥🔥🔥😂😂😂 another white ktm but with better components

[@thatfast3002]

Which components are better?

[@lozadazx14]

Triple clamps , exhaust, brakes , suspension

[@vasilisdedes5100]

It still remains a degraded RED KTM!

[@goodboyringo9716]

THEY ARE NOT 1,000.00 CHEAPER.

[@jeffpaxton9172]

I don't understand the point of GasGas. Yes they are cheaper than KTM but only a few hundred bucks. If a person can afford to pay $11,500 for a dirt bike they'll just pay $500 more and get the KTM or Husky. Unless the GasGas is priced comperable to the Japanese bikes, the GasGas brand won't sell enough bikes to survive. The market just can't support 3 mega expensive dirt bike brands. The average Joe can't afford to spend that much on a dirt bike. Bye bye GasGas your days are numbered.

[@reginaldhuckstable9797]

Yz FX versions are better.

[@Rustystrombolli]
