Great video. Thank you ! I'm moving from my beloved KLX250 to a TE300 presently and as you described, a bit nervous. This video really helped me start to get my mind around the transition.

[@flyboyrob7938]

Interesting video and perspective! I’m in Utah and started riding 1 year ago also and started on a 2019 KTM 250 XC-W TPI. I’ll be honest I think it was the best decision for me personally to start on a 250. I’ve learned so much in the past year and feel still I have a lot more to learn such as having better control of the bike and building confidence. I also think you couldn’t have gone wrong either way on a 250 or 300. Either way it’s a blast to get out with friends and shred! I’m interested to see more content you bring! Keep up the good work!

[@RWWRENTAL]

thanks buddy! yeah in Utah you have much lower elevation. my 250 kicks pretty hard in utah which is fun! ha ha. thanks for watching man!

[@noirxplorer3185]

Yeah, he's comparing a TE250 which is the ktms 250XC. The 250XC-W is basically the same as 300xcw. I would recommend the 250XC-W to people unless they weigh over 200lbs.

[@PlushEnduro]

I’m a firm believer that the 300 is easier for new 2-stroke riders for all the reasons you listed. The 250 is more fun though!

[@noirxplorer3185]

When it comes to XC-W, they're extremely close. Really depends on your weight.

[@PlushEnduro]

@@noirxplorer3185 makes sense! Perhaps I am over influenced by obesity studies. 🤔

[@ryeann2567]

Thanks, that was helpful. I've been riding high displacement motorcycles for years, where clutch and throttle control are important. Looking for my first dirt machine, and kept reading that I need to stay away from any 250+ 2 stroke... I'm in my mid 30's (no longer quite as dumb as I was in my 20's), 215 lbs and looking for a bike a I can keep for a while. I think I'll keep the KTM 300XC in mind.

[@LarryJohnson-oy8ys]

Thanks! Great perspective.

[@mecalpsha4473]

KTM/Husky is where it is at!!! Awesome bikes

[@RWWRENTAL]

for sure! great bikes! thanks for watching buddy

[@TopshelfJunior]

Learned how to ride a dirt bike in one day.. First bike was a 110 w/ NO clutch.. Then the second half of the day I got on a 2020 Kawasaki 450.. Kept it in 1st gear the whole time lol, but I got on it and got it going. Have done a ton of research and about to make my first dirtbike purchase, KLX300R.. Sat on it today, 5'11' + 220 pounds...I think it's gonna be the perfect first dirt bike purchase.

[@RWWRENTAL]

Nice man! Grats on getting on the dirtbike world. Ya took me about an hour to learn how to ride my klx250. 3 mo later i got my 2 stroke

[@noirxplorer3185]

When it comes to xcw they're extremely close. It depends on your weight. TE250 compares to KTM's 250XC. An xcw 250 is geared like a tractor, but still has the quickness of a 250. If your weigh 200 plus go with the 300xcw.

[@adamluck6197]

What is the difference between XC and XCW, or was that a typo? Thanks

[@oldbones5598]

@@adamluck6197 trans gearing, linkless suspension.

[@adamluck6197]

@@oldbones5598 But the XCW is the enduro/woods version, correct? I was just wondering if he said "XC" by mistake when comparing it to the TE.

[@oldbones5598]

@@adamluck6197 both are, I think.

[@adamluck6197]

@@oldbones5598 Yep, you're right. I found a good video that compared the two. Both seem like great bikes but I think I'd lean towards the XCW.

[@lucaraimondo5967]

Thanks for the video

[@pickelrick6313]

Nice video bra

[@morpheusone7755]

Nice mate you enjoy it,, iv never experienced arm pump. Maybe it's something to do with learning on proper trails bikes ,seat less type beta 280

[@trail_shark6078]

If you don’t mind how much do you weigh?

[@RWWRENTAL]

in this video I was weighing about 230lbs...with gear and water possibly 260ish+ on this bike

[@tacoooooo11111]

Is it bad to lug the 250 xcw alot? Will kt cause spark plug fouling

[@LJ_Adventure79]

Hey man would a Ktm150xcw be a good first bike for someone of about 5.8 5.9 and around 65kg

[@Rich2wheels]

So the 2 stroke xcw 300 over the ktm 350excf ? I feel like the 4 stroke is much easier to ride compared to the yz250x i owned and hated. I want to like 2 strokes and heard the xcw is different than the yzx and less motocross like

[@Rich2wheels]

My only experience in 4 strokes is the crf250x which i loved.

[@RWWRENTAL]

4 strokes are easier to ride for sure 2 strokes I just feel like the fun is better. if you get a ktm300 with a lectron, it makes the power very linear 4 stroke like. I have the 250 so it spins up like a normal 2 stroke but it has low end, but not like a 4 stroke. the 300 still spins up in the rev but just has a little more low end vs the 250. the 350EXCF is all low end delivery. I love the 350excf great bike, but now I ride very slow technical terrain where a 4 stroke will most likely boil over everytime. I think the YZ250x would be a great hybrid MX and trails bike. Most people ride 2 strokes in CO because of the slow moving trails and it does not over heat as much. 350 excf though is a great do it all enduro machine

[@Rich2wheels]

@@RWWRENTAL I never considered the over heating aspect. Thanks for your input. I think im going 350exc and fall back in love with riding again and then go from there. Also street legal is a huge plus over here in canada

[@RWWRENTAL]

@@Rich2wheels for sure man! 350 great bike for the road too! have fun!

[@fpj4704]

Any feedback on a Beta 200 RR for a new rider primary woods/field rider?

[@RWWRENTAL]

200rr is a great beginners bike too, but you will need to be in the revs a bit more to hit stuff and be in the correct gear vs just lugging around in lets just say 3rd gears for the 300. I remember I was lugging around a lot when I first got my te250 that is why i think the 300 would have been easier for me to ride. Granted, I started off with a klx250 so I had my basics down. 2 strokes have come a long way from being rid-able down low.
