KTM EXC 150 OFF ROAD TEST (WITH UPGRADES)

Riding the most fun dirt bike KTM have EVER made. The KTM EXC 150! I can't stop smiling every time I ride it. The 150cc engine just screams whenever you twist the throttle. I bought this bike brand new at the time and now I've had new suspension upgrades fitted, I really wanted to do another off road test. It's an exc /xcw model so it's an enduro bike at heart but how good will it be on the trails? Let's find out shall we.

*Let me know your thoughts on the 150 build*

[@Marc-kb6qg]

I’d love to see a build on that thing

[@robalgar8001]

Most cost effective, sell it and buy a 125 yz ! No only joking MW , love Ur vids 👍

[@user-uo5sl7mx5c]

I will like to see a build

[@Enduroaus964]

Put a tsp kit on it I’ve got one on my 150exc and it runs amazing

[@mrjackson2358]

Not sure on the 150's so don't quote me but maybe look at a FMF Gnarly header pipe. It should give more power down low but might steal power from the top. I beleive the Gnarly is made from thicker metal so can take more punishment from trail riding as well. That combined with a higher compression head could make for some serious upgrades? Just a thought.

[@itzrex3219]

I was planning on getting a R3 as my first ever bike but then I discovered you a while back and now I'm buying a ktm 250exc f and I can't wait already bought all my gear

[@carsontrovillion6170]

Best decision you’ll ever make!

[@Soeks77]

Nah don’t start on the street it’s asking to die. Starting offroad is 100% the way to do it it’ll teach you cojtnersteering clutch control throttle control body position shifting footbrake, all of it

90% of this vlog you were laughing and giggling to yourself, I think this shows exactly why you should ride it more bud !! I’m think you look quicker on the 150 than the 300 too, appreciate your efforts ✌🏼 Paul

[@christophermaglio1939]

Can't thank you enough for these videos. Im in the US. Bought a 2024 150 xc-w because of your videos. Its incredible! I put a bomber bar switch on (motominded). I liked its design more than the single switches. I put a few pieces of protection on the bike because where I ride its fairly rocky and when you drop it, it tears stuff up (pipe guards, fork guards, etc.) Currently looking at racetech suspension mods because stock the shocks are valved really hard (too much compression, not enough rebound - cant adjust enough). Here in the US Jeff Slavens is a great resource for your build. Keep up the great content! I really appreciate it!

[@jenko960]

Yes do the build. The 150 is an amazing platform for a fun and functional enduro bike and it will not let you down

[@Alvino_rc]

Putting a low-compression head on a 150 makes it a beast for going up hills

[@Olivermx_enduro]

You ride the 150 so much better 👍

[@ScramblingLife]

Show us some technical ride on 150🎉

[@carter240]

Just picked up a 24’ 150xcw after watching your videos. Absolutely love it!

[@Olivermx_enduro]

Yes back on the 150

[@Capital993]

TSP head and reflash kit and absolutely love the Husky TE 150

[@Mockle07]

Is that on a tbi model? How does it compare to stock in terms of power and power delivery? 👍🏻

[@Capital993]

@Mockle07 No, sorry, it's on a 2022 TPI, but it's amazing. I love the power delivery!

[@Mockle07]

@@Capital993 ah ok. Yeah I heard good things about the TSP stuff for TPI, just wondered if they’d developed anything for the TBI yet.

[@brycekoenig212]

I’m also wondering. I have found one for TBI online. Did you try one?

It would be dope to see a 150 build. Love the vids man!

Yes the 150 is back! Love the vids!

[@TheScanduro]

I don’t need this bike I don’t need this bike… I need this bike. Great video man! You truly inspire people to follow their passion with your videos. Made me wanna try and create my own videos.

[@Josephpiper]

That 150 is insane

[@BigStreams_]

I'm so excited to see what the 150 build becomes. Seems like such an awesome bike already

[@DavesInHisGarage]

Ive recenty got the 150 xc model from 2012 and the thing is a riot, fantastic fun, and more than enough grunt for me

[@backyardbikes7760]

Do it! I’ve been working on my 125xc probably gonna turn it to 150

[@cmaxbuilds643]

[@moofymoo]

[@unnoobenktm16300]

Man, you really should try the transpyrénéenne, from sea to ocean through the most beautiful landscapes. Something unforgettable, but maybe you only like rain and mud :)

[@LJ_Adventure79]

Definitely do a 150 build that would be sick u also seem to be a way better rider when on the 150 should try use the 300 on the pipe more bc it sounds like beast when on the pipe

[@rosco4659]

Looks like a sick place to ride

[@ИванИванов-ъ9я]

Love your videos mate! Keep them coming!

[@basementracer7622]

Suspension is everything,. I have a full Racetech race set up on the FE350, I had it done by A1 Racing here in Atlanta and it's epic, it's butter, it's impressive the levels of control it give you at any speed. It makes you feel like Haiden Deegan with the speed you can suddenly find. Point of all of this is that I also own the TE300 Pro and that has the stock With Power suspension. I Like it and for a lot of folks it would be fine. For me, because I am spoiled with my FE350 I notice the difference between Stock suspension that has been "setup" and a race setup from a race shop that has been SETUP. It's night a day, just no comparison. Suspension, get some and make it the goodest it can be. You will never look back.

[@everspace9654]

I think the tsp kit would be a worthy upgrade for the 150

[@natey881]

I got the 24 ktm 150 xcw, I love it, did fine with a paddle in the dunes even.

Hi I love your videos

[@billypettit7132]

Tsp power kit not the overrev kit with the pipe tho, makes it even more enjoyable! You can run them pretty hard, my 23 te150 has been pretty damn reliable! Main thing is keep the air filter super clean and lubed even grease the lip where it meets the air box and wipe it out really good when you clean it!

[@Dirtbiker2010]

I just love watching these videos!

I bought me self a little crf230f, my first trail bike, I need to fix a few thing but so far I'm having a blast with that little thing, is like riding my bicycle but now I can go uphill indefinitely without braking a sweat. now I don't need to keep trashing my t7 on my locals hills.

Did you ever get the standard suspension setup for your weight and riding style? There is a huge difference between a 2023 model and the 2024 model suspension wise. 2024 far more superior.

24 is awesome from stock but this new suspension is another level

[@Foerarn1234]

I don't think a build is needed for the 150, every time you ride it all i hear is laughs and good riding on the pipe. I say ride that 150 until it breaks before thinking of a build. Rather build confidence in your gear choice and clutch control with that bike, in the long run you will have a better experience on any bike you ride after that. Also viewer bias: no engine sounds better than a 2 stroke 150. 🤣
