Riding The ALL NEW 2024 KTM EXC in SOUTH AFRICA

[@MidWestMX]

*SO WHATS YOUR THOUGHTS?*

[@the_tube]

My thoughts are that I suddenly really a need a new 300

[@juniorsmith996]

Haven't finished watching it until but the 300 looks 👌🏻 and sound beautiful I think the tbi was a good move but back to the old premix but at least they finally got the suspension dialed in at stock and I'm going to carry on and I'll give you my honest opinion

[@softy6278]

Why don't you do any stunt you scared of it or anything else

[@MotoSly]

i like beer

[@HolyRider22]

I'm still buying a 2024 beta 300 😊

[@AlexFunez1]

This man gets to travel and ride dirt bikes. Living the dream.

[@bingeciren]

I noticed that your riding has improved immensely. I guess the seat time pays off . Great video, enjoyed it very much 👍

[@mtb_prodigy4856]

Marvis is a much better rider than he gives himself credit for. Africa and dirtbikes truly is a different experience

[@novis_6217]

quite the opposite

[@matthewtoes6433]

Was he even worthy of being a test rider fell off 5 times Infront of camera man nearly drowned him self in a river No good clutch control & and doesn't no when to change gear properly for the speed that he is doing I don't think he would be very good at any sport that he tried doing

[@MidWestMX]

@@matthewtoes6433 I'm testing the durability :) It does make me smile though. The pure hatred in your heart when you see someone else succeed at something you want so bad is hilarious. Be kind. Being mean is not a good look.

The confidence you had in all of those bikes especially the 150 says it all, you have massively improved over the years and for KTM to call you...again says it all. Another awesome content, you dont seem to fail to impress 😅. How about an adventure ride in Africa...now this would definitely be interesting with you and all the boys on your new toys. You could make a decent video out of this like part 1+2 🤔. Above all w8sh you speedy recovery, be safe ride safe ✌

[@l-Mielie-l]

Sorry little Karen here, Lesotho is a different country from South Africa. It's landlocked inside SA but different countries, but still awesome seeing you ride in my side of the world and in places in Lesotho where I have been. Epic!!

Wow that scenery. So lucky. Surprised you didn't get more chance to ride every bike. Would of liked to hear your thoughts on both 250s. Excellent footage

[@Falconxr8]

I was so nervous watching you do the special race, the amount of times you were holding your breath. You did so awesome 🙌

Love your content puts a smile on my face with every video there’s nothing better then a trail ride with your mates keep up the good work✊💨

Welcome to SA mate!! Would have been epic to be there 😅 Looke like you had major fun! The new KTM 300 seems rad! Seeing you back in Africa again? :) *That bail at the river was the money shot for the photographers LOL, good one bud. Enjoy man!

I like the new control clusters, very clean.

Yeah they are aren't they

[@RealSuburbanCowboy]

The Enduro Kex guys were there too. This is some good stuff. I wish I could afford a new bike, but alas, I cannot. Thanks for sharing.

[@sk2283]

Wow! What an experience mate 👍👍👍 made up for you - bet that was frikin tiring though ! I’d have chosen a 250 2T for that lot shame you didn’t get to try the full fleet 👍👍👍

[@NOTTApro142]

I don’t mind the idea of an electric powervalve. Honda had the RC valve back in the day. Only problem is bad wiring. But they may have resolved it. Glad you had fun though! To be honest I wasn’t the biggest fan of KTM until I saw the new models and the design is growing on me.

[@hurelllucieer6225]

Shercos have an electric powervalve

[@NOTTApro142]

@@hurelllucieer6225 huh. Didn’t know that. People act like it’s a new concept though

[@UncleMatt141]

So stoked you managed to ride the stomping grounds ! Now you can enter Roof Of AFRICA next year 👀

[@awesomeaustinentertainment9354]

Amazing bikes I do think you should give the 250 4 stroke a go if you ever get the chance. It’s a lot lighter. Love your videos

[@theyeetus1428]

They all weigh nearly the same +/- a kilogram. There is no noticeable weight difference, so I'm quite confused about why he always talks about 4 strokes being "sooo much heavier"

[@777Melin]

@@theyeetus1428 In a four stroke you have alot more rotating mass, altough the four strokes wont feel particularly heavier when the engine isoff, but when the engine is running they do feel heavier than two strokes..

[@Mockle07]

@@theyeetus1428Most of those people are “two stroke 4 lyf” kind of people who probably haven’t ridden a modern four stroke or are just biased. That said, there is still an appreciable difference in ride feel; the four strokes have more weight higher up in the engine and as @777melin said, the rotating mass and engine braking on a four stroke makes it feel heavier, especially 350 and above.

[@deep4soul]

great video and riding. seemed like the terrain in the 4 stroke part was a lot more technical. I have the 350 and love it, once i get tired it does become a little bit of a handful . i guess endurance really is important.

[@nateriddle1067]

If you want to improve your clutch work and throttle control in the woods, go with the 150. When you hop back on the big bike it’ll seem like a breeze lol

[@xmelissa_1100]

This looks like so much fun. Might have to trade in my 250xcw 👀. Great video as always!

[@chunkybullmoto]

You have officially reached “Legend” status! Great video.

Haha wow. I just emigrated from South Africa to New Zealand. I haven't been watching you uploads as much as I want to but some9told me to watch this upload and I'm grateful I did.. What an extraordinary experience you had been given to think where you started out to been flown around the world to test bikes out. Wow. The way you pronounce Lesotho is awesome. Loved the video parts that I've seen now I will continue to watch it.

That must of been a mega experience. Fair play to ktm ✊

[@craignicholson1788]

Dang it. The secret is out. Lesotho is the best riding ever. Good to see you on some of the Roof time trial routes there. It gets way more technical. But when you get up top the big mountains the view is worth the toil. 300 is the one you want for Lesotho.

[@hardy.explore]

Loved this! What an experience, pretty mind blowing.

[@SoulRiderz677]

Gotta love the sound of the 300 and the 350. Super pumped right now... Need to get me one asap.

[@ispike112]

Hopefully these are better than the 890 adventure, a friend of mine got a 23 890 only to discover the subframe doesn't sit straight so your rear sits offset to the rear tire/swing arm. cant fit pannier racks to it as bolts wont match up. currently waiting for KTM to decide what they are going to do replace it or pretty much to bad so sad. been waiting 3 months for a reply. researching it results show its a fairly common fault.

I had the husky 350excf and it was great in open country. But like you in the tight technical stuff, you gotta focus so much trying not to stall it. I fell off it more, because it flamed out and stalled and the bike just stopped and tipped over.
