Riding This KTM EXC 150 Up Extreme Hill Climbs // Does it Have The Power?

Ever wondered how good a small 2 stroke dirt bike would be at hill climbs? Well that's what we are here to find out! Today we're riding at the awesome Wern Ddu Quarry enduro complex which has a list of awesome hill climbs. Some nearly impossible, but many of them bike breakers! We decided this would be the day we will take our tiny 150cc dirt bikes and try sending them up some ridiculous hills. Enjoy.

Full sends sounds epic,and no headlights were harmed in the making of this video 😊😊😊

Coming soon 🤣

[@MrCRAIGREVO]

If the 150 is the most fun and it clearly makes your riding better, why do you class the 300 as the best bike you have owned? What does that do better for you?

[@MidWestMX]

@@MrCRAIGREVO I just have no other 150's to compare. The 300 is an all round bike and out of all the ones I've owned the 2024 is by far the best. Smooth power, suspension, frame, peg position and the list goes on. I feel a lot more comfortable on it.

[@MrCRAIGREVO]

@@MidWestMX so it’s the best 300 you’ve owned then not the best bike?

[@MidWestMX]

@@MrCRAIGREVO best bike also. I’ve had motocross bikes, adventure bike, electric bikes and enduro bikes and this one is the one I would choose most of the time as it can do everything

This guy has give me so much inspiration love this guy his videos are amazing 🤩

[@kenwolfe5697]

Loving the 150 content. I love mine. It’s a riot to rip on. Awesome video. I felt that cross rut at around 16 minutes. I’ve done it a thousand times. I’m still getting mine figured out. Having fun and pushing your limits (without getting hurt) is what it’s all about

[@user-rf1qe4vb2m]

Te50 rider, I love your work, such a great attitude.

I love the 150, I just picked up a KTM 125 xc not to long ago and I love it. But keep up the work love the videos!!

[@jerryroth6246]

Marvis came out to play! That bike is teaching you to keep it in the powerband, Good job!

[@RaidOffRoad]

Cracking video! I'm offf to Wern Ddu next Sunday, I've only been once before and I can't wait to have another blast around the place.

[@dempseylydecker9704]

Love all the videos man so entertaining and great to watch you learn more on the go great progress brother

Just bought a 2015 ktm 300 xc-w 6days edition And im in love with the bike. By far best bike I've ever owned

[@noorthern]

I’m really enjoying the 150 content - thanks for the videos… THEY LOOK SO FUN

[@MidWestMX]

Thank you. Glad you enjoy them

[@Plumbingadjacentdrainguy]

Gotta stay in the power band. Your boy knows how to let it sing. It's hard to capture how those hills look on video. Definitely some high experience level terrain. Good stuff.

[@AnthH13792]

dip the clutch and pinnnn, loved the video

[@answerace]

Love my small frame KTM 200.

Just bought my first 2 stroke Absolutely love it. Also imagine if you broke the headlight on the hard drop😂😂

[@oliverdavis3457]

sick bro

[@jamiefullwood438]

Great video good effort 👌👍🤣

[@LJ_Adventure79]

U should do a build and the bike like high compression head and stuff

[@NOTTApro142]

Hey MX, for those smaller 2 strokes and even the bigger ones, don't hesitate to lay on the throttle more. Your friend kept making it up because he would gain some speed, and keep higher rpms. You gotta twist the throttle more before you hit the hill. And then hold that throttle until you have to. Don't be afraid to go faster

[@MidWestMX]

Appreciate the advice buddy. Makes sense

[@NOTTApro142]

@@MidWestMX No problem. You really gotta keep on the pipe on those 150s only way you can get real power

[@mg_tv5448]

On some hills i will just get stuck at some point and just dig a hole than going up

[@jared5643]

On a small bore Smoker, when in doubt shift down and floor it. If still in doubt shift down again 😂

[@SilasTangAndreasen]

SICK

[@joedubray1065]

I think your a good rider man, just have a bit more Confidence stand up more if your not already and stay on that throttle when it gets steep! Your having a blast out there so that’s all that matters! Great video

[@lukeoosthuizen9155]

Love your videos you are awesome

100% better than the varg with no engine sound.... Much more fun to watch.

[@ryanmacgregor3799]

Mate, i come off in those single rut trails all the time 😂 my body wants to go one way, the bike the other 🙈

[@cavanon]

Always a joy moment watching your videos 🫶🏻 Nothing better than 2s mid-bore to have a fun ride 😊 What’s the size of front and back sprockets?

I think you and I have the exact same train of though while riding 11:48

[@Adamtheflame23]

2 strokes are so fun

[@ogasi1798]

gold

[@bradleymuha4861]

Midwest was a huge influence on my decision to get KTM 300 I haven’t regret my decision once the 23xc is awesome! Tons of fun/power!

[@MidWestMX]

So nice to hear

[@cwilliams4227]

Been riding dirt bikes for 45 years. Had my share of big bore 4 and 2 strokes. I am getting older and starting to loose stamina with my 300exc so I bought a 150exc a couple of years ago. Love it! It doesn't wear me out as fast as the 300. A bit lighter. I can just keep up with my boys on their 300's till about 80km/h then they pull away but in the tight stuff I'm all over them if I am fresh. Have you made some adjustments to the power valve spring. Mine really came to life after a few tweeks.

[@MidWestMX]

No I’ve left mine stock for now but I’ll get round to testing with it. Such a fun bike it’s unreal

[@mikenielsen8738]

what bike for a 150kg men ? 150 maybe not enough power

[@cagiva125cc2]

Awww you should of said you was going wern ddu, I'm 30 mins away lol

[@codyhopkins3622]

First in the Chat! Quick question, newer rider here consider me a baby Marvis... buying a new bike 150xcw or 300 xcw which would you choose in my shoes??? Thanks for doing what you do!

[@Pepito_sanchez7]

150 is more easy to ride but very hard to master (like 125 two strole riging style), 300 is easy to ride at first but when you turn a littble bit your throttle you are visiting mars

[@MidWestMX]

I couldn’t tell you. Two completely different bikes and riding styles. You’ll have to ride them first to see which one you like

[@pmisen]

You might grow out of the 150 skill wise, get the 300!!!

[@MidWestMX]

@@pmisen I already have the 300

[@laurentiudinca9606]

Your whole content should revolve around the 150, now.

[@Lplikaitis]

All things 150 plz!

[@jesse.jsmall0652]

Only damage on that hill would’ve been your pride poor guy love the 150 keep it in the powaa

[@skid00dlen30]

any chance you would do a Kawasaki KDX 200 review? I would just love to see a better rider than myself do some hard enduro on one. I love the bike and it will take almost anything you throw at it.

[@galek5092]

Every time you went up a hill I held up my hand signalling you to give it more throttle😂

[@Carsonktm420]

What did he have for breakfast 😂😂😂😂

[@joedubray1065]

Where are you riding it’s absolutely stunning

[@MidWestMX]

Wern Ddu quarry

[@Samsulk795]

Bro u are ❤❤

[@998hptv]

What settings do you use on GoPro?

[@matthewtoes6433]

Change the gearing so it's the same as your friends 125 13 front then you have a choice from 49 - 52 teeth on the rear 13 - 51 is the best Or just change the front sprocket to a 13 see the difference

[@IdiotsInTheDesert]

We're watching Marvis learn the powerband

[@friendlyfallguy3233]

I really want a dirt bike. But it's going to take so long to save up for one.

as a 16 year old what bike and tips do people recommend as a beginner rider thanks. :) 🤔

[@Mr.Icy223]

"What did he have for breakfast" Other enduro riders.

[@bones2610]

That 150 looks like a fun bike. Nimble and not too heavy. Got a question for you. Hows Rob doing? If you talk to him. Let him know I was asking about him.

[@MidWestMX]

He’s on his travels healing up. He’s good. Be back in no time

[@mattyward8177]

I would love to know where you ride, the places you go always look fun. Does your bike need to be road legal where you ride??

[@MidWestMX]

This is Wern Ddu Quarry. £45 for the day

[@lifeofnaira2022]

Can you wheelie yet??? Last time i was watching you were learning out the garden

[@tristanwright9405]

12:30 don't tighten it more than that otherwise it will have no give and it will just break

[@BehindBarsEnduro]

Where is all this new found confidence coming from?! Don't say it's the TBI because I can't afford one. Cocаine? 👀

[@markmtbrider]

Leave it pinned, use the clutch and not the throttle for traction and control

Why would you shift out of first into second when you were struggling in first ? Obviously you're gonna stall!

[@Black_swan_incoming]

Do you think a 200 would give you that bit extra you’re looking for. Obviously there’s no compensation for being shit like the rest of us 🤟🏼

A 144cc engine is not good for loose soil hill climbs, unless you have skills.

hey mate just a quick tip you would do so much better if you stopped comparing yourself to others and focused on improving yourself, i get your hyping him up for the vid aswell but serously comparing yourself to him is going to ruin your self esteem
