Which is Fastest? 250 vs 350 vs 450 | Motocross Shootout

Our aim in this video is to find out which MX bike is best for your average weekend warrior! Will the big, bad 450 be the ultimate motocross weapon? Perhaps the little 250 four stroke will be a better choice for most riders, or maybe the middle weight 350 SX-F will claim the crown in this dirt bike shoot out! We test the all new 2023 KTM SX-F range back to back to find out the answers :-)
Enjoy guys!

After 4 seasons and many hours on a 350, and after 36 years on and off of riding dirt bikes, I VERY VERY reluctantly bought my first 450, a 2022 KX. I instantly jived with the bike and was immediately more comfortable than I had ever been on that 350, and the 350 was a great bike.

You could see the second sean was on the 350 how comfortable he was. i have a 2016 i believe the same model as seans 19 and love it

As a vet rider 55 i grew up on 2 strokes and still currently on my CR500 for fun of it i see the 350 riders are riding awesome !! so fast through the tight supercross stile tracks out the corners with awesome hook up in traction when i rode a 4 stroke on greasy track with shitty tires i was amazed with traction and hook up !! at my age working hard to keep up i will definetly be moving on with the 350 awesome machine that gives it everything for more confidence to stick it wet or dry !

Great video Max, good interview and test of the KTM, looking forward to the tests on the new 2stroke KTM s , great job Max.

Japanese manufacturers need to get into the 350 game and there needs to b a 350 class n racing. That could be a good balancing point n Mx/sx racing. The 350 is the perfect all around bike though for sure. I have the ‘14 ktm 350xcf and I know the newer models r much improved but I honestly have no complaints whatsoever about my bike I’ve been very happy with it. I do wish Yamaha would make a 350 and put it in a yzfx model though I would totally buy one, come on Yamaha get with the program lol

Max nice work on this episode. Bradley Smith gave seat off the pants feedback that turned out to be very accurate when the stop watch came out. Great job guys !!

I have had a bunch of KTMs over the years. I still believe the RFS 400 motor is the best 4 stk motor they ever built. But for me the 2017 300 is my favorite. Put an Öhlins TTX shock on it and go shred!

Another banger video!

For my 60th birthday I bought myself a new KX450. Never could ride it as fast as my little 125 Suzuki.

[@mdnusrath1801]

I just love dirt bikes

[@levisylvester]

these vids are always cool! i cant wait for a test of the new 125!

[@dspowart1]

what a cracking shootout

[@64maxpower]

I wonder if all of us never experienced vintage 125s would love modern bikes as much as everyone else? The problem is we enjoy old 125s more even though they lap slower. I think the problem everyone that watched Max knows too much being students of the sport

I’m 47 and have a Husky 450 and GasGas250 and ride my buddies 350ktm on occasion. Here’s my thoughts as a intermediate vet. Rider. If you are getting lapped by local B and C riders and middle of the pack vet dudes on 125s or 250s you have no reason to ever be on a 450. I absolutely love my 450 because it’s got custom suspension but I should never ride it. I’m faster on the 250 and can ride it all day unlike the 450 where I ride it 5-8 laps and park it. For average to above average riders, nothing beats a 250. Pick a brand and braaaaappppppp. 🤙🏻🤙🏻

[@SpeedDemonExpress]

What size are the axles? I need to know if my build wheels will fit from the old model.

[@Kawiboy]

Sweet job my friend 👍😉

[@dr.hugog.hackenbush9443]

My CR500 is the best bike for this weekend warrior.

[@Stone881]

Question for the gallery in relation to the quick shifter. Is anyone actually using the clutch for upshifts? I know that I don't unless I am just rolling through the pits or something.

[@64maxpower]

I remember Adam Chatfield. He was involved in some kind of scandle a few years ago here. Something to the effect he signed up to race a series as an amateur unfairly won a truck as the grand prize as the points leader.

[@onlygazza]

Very good vid, I’ve ridden them all in all different makes except the 350, 250 two stroke great fun quite tiring, 250 4 strokes real nice bikes, light good handling less power than the two stroke easy to ride.
