That's gnarly terrain!

I love the rough and more technical trails in NH, this looks awesome! Nice work out there! How do you like the Husqvarna in this setting? Been looking at 450's for trails or single track where the T7 is too big, I keep coming back to the YZ450FX. Stiffer suspension than Kawi or Honda and the consistently snappy/torquey throttle response at low rpm or even top end are nice. I'm not familiar with Husqvarna's bikes at all though, but I'm curious after watching you tackle this type of terrain and seeing the bike handle it with ease!

@@Bacondew the FE450 is a great bike. Mine is a 2019 and I just picked it up off fb this spring. It's essentially equivalent to KTM's 450 xcf-w, just with white plastic. The suspension is phenomenal. The motor can be a little bit spicy in the tight technical single track, but I've got a wifi connected GET ECU for it and can change the map from my phone while out riding. I've been keeping it in the "mud" map, which kinda tames it down a bit. I think the ideal bike for the single track in this video would probably be like a 200 or 300 two stroke, like a Husky TE300. Or maybe even just a step down from mine to a FE350. Either way, I love the bike and it's not going anywhere any time soon!

​@@KittenMittensADV You can tune the ECU on the fly with your phone?? That's sick! Super handy having presets for different conditions at your fingertips. Having a habanero for an engine is fantastic info. A snappy throttle/motor is the #1 thing I look for. Love balancing clutch play with instant torque availability *burnt clutch crying in the corner* in technical terrain but I agree it can be a bit spicy in situations like this for sure, a fun challenge though! You're right the FE450 & 450XCF are damn twins! KTM bought Husqvarna motors couple years ago right?🤔Great to hear the suspension is phenomenal! At 6'2" 250lbs most bikes feel too soft for my thicc ass🍑🤣100% agree with you, a 200-300 would be perfect here. Thank you for all the info and your thoughts on the bike! Great riding out there, while stuck at work your vids an awesome watch!

@@Bacondew Yes sir! It has a little wifi dongle that lives under the seat lol. I'm also 6' 2", roughly 200lb and I re-sprung the rear shock to a 51 N/mm spring because the other one was too soft. Feels great now. Not sure if that one would work for you at 250 lbs. There's a table somewhere in the manual that shows the weight range for each size spring. Also, I just dropped a video of a me going through all the mods on the bike 🙂
