I think it’s critical to use highly technical terms like “whack it” to make sure the point comes across. Glad you found it helpful!

I´m loving mine 150i 22´. I rode 9 years on a CRF250x. Know I´m playing again. I was confused about buying a 150 or 250 two stroke, but I made a good decision choosing the small one. Easy to rida, really strong, smart, fast, and dangerous - it grows up very fast. At tight trails it´s fantastic. The suspension is absurd, very good! It saved me 4x. I think it could have a longer sixth gear. And I tire my left calf cause I need more shifting

Awsome ride !

Nice video. I owned a 2019 KTM 150 XC-W that I rode that season, and I rode mine very much like you're riding your bike in this video: That little engine was a 144cc torque monster. Excellent on trails with it's very usable low end and light-weight maneuverability made possible by such a low engine inertia. The bike I'm riding now is the polar opposite in the engine inertia department: A 2021 Honda CRF450RL. I'm actually kicking around the idea of getting another 150 for the trails. I wonder if getting the Husqvarna for the shock linkage would be worth it.

@DmitriyAdv

A friend of mine had a CRF450L for a couple of years and I actually very much enjoyed riding it. Definitely a heavier feeling bike, so it had to be ridden a bit differently, but I felt like the suspension was pretty well suited for trail work as well - nice and compliant, did not beat you up a ton, so the bike was a joy to ride all day long. I haven't ridden a KTM 150, but I've ridden a lot of other KTMs. I personally can't tell a huge difference between linkage and not linkage, with the PDS maybe being a bit more lively in general, but all that might also be a question of suspension setup. The main reason I went with a Husky are the ergonomics. On the KTMs I always feel like I'm being pushed forward a bit. The Husky seat feels "flatter" and is a bit lower, so it feels more natural to me to move back and forth on the bike while standing. It also makes emergency dabs more successful and easier to do all sorts of acrobatics in very technical terrain.

Interesting about the tires. The EU version comes with Michelin enduro medium tires, which are great tires... Levers are terrible and I can't find any replacement in Europe either. I'm a huge fan of Midwest Mountain Engineering levers. They are working on a prototipe for these Braktec levers Excellent video!

After watching your vids I became more interested in this bike. Then I went through its specs, cost, and compared it to other bikes. This thing in 2024 retails for $10,250 dollars. It weights more than a YZ250X when either bike is fueled up and costs more than $2000.00 dollars more. I know it is bristling with technology, but that is a tough financial pill to swallow. And there is something to be said about the absolute proven and tech free design of the YZX's. Furthermore, a YZ125X full of gas and ready to go only weights 212lbs and is almost $3500 dollars less expensive. To me this makes the Husky a really tough sell. Even compared to its stable mates, the 150X is expensive. For a little more money you can get a TE250, which ironically, weighs the same as the TE300 so a little more than the 250, the 300 seems to be the most practical of all of the Husky bikes.

@DmitriyAdv

@@easternyellowjacket276 you bring up some interesting points! I think there are a couple things at play here. In a nutshell, I don’t think one buys a smaller displacement bike to save money, it’s not really what they’re for. They are a tool for a specific purpose, and are positioned as such in the model lineups for each manufacturer. This (especially with 125cc two strokes) has traditionally been as a stepping stone for younger riders/racers coming from small wheel 85’s to their first “big bike”. The 150 is the more off-road/enduro focused version of that same principle. Costing slightly less is nothing but a marketing gimmick, because realistically the production costs between a 125/150 and a 250/300 are probably almost identical aside from a few pieces being a bit smaller. How much does 10lbs of aluminum and steel cost? $100 at most I’d guess. So really, people buy small bore two strokes because that’s what they need… whether it’s for their kids, or to learn the skills that those bikes teach you, as in my case. There are also all sorts of race classes that are cc specific - for example lites or 250cc classes, which is what people get 250cc 2 strokes for. The other aspect is that from a purely financial standpoint, I think cost of ownership is ultimately more important than the selling price. Putting maintenance costs aside, that’s purchase price minus used market sale price. In specific terms, my Husky cost me more than a YZ125X would - sure, but it I also sold two years / 130 hours later for more than I would have paid for that brand new YZ125X. With any popular brand, depreciation is likely pretty similar. KTM 300 two strokes are super popular, so they tend to be easier to sell and more in demand on the used market. Anything small bore is slightly more niche and difficult. Weight figures on paper tell a very small part of the story. I do a lot of hard enduro badly, so I drag bikes a lot, and some supposedly light bikes are very heavy and some heavy bikes are light simply because of where the weight is. Aside from the smaller amount of rotating mass giving it a more “flickable” feeling, the difference between a 150 and a 250/300 when picking them up is almost non-existent. I bet if I put two bikes side by side upside down on a hill and covered their logos, most people couldn’t accurately tell the difference. Lastly - the most important thing is what do you want the bike for? I’ve ridden a YZ125X and a YZ250X. They are VERY different motorcycles than a 150i, or any of the European two strokes for that matter. The Yamaha chassis and suspension is superb, but the lack of e-start is a serious drawback in technical riding and neither bike loves going super slow as much as the euro bikes do - the are cross country race bikes and feel it. Specific to the 150 vs 125x, the bottom end power advantage on the 150 is very significant.

What you said about the vibration of the non-counterbalanced 150 has me leaning back towards the 250. If you were to choose only one which would you choose? Thanks

@DmitriyAdv

Well, I’ve chosen the 150 ;) As far as vibration, it’s kind of personal. The 150 vibrates less than any other non-counterbalanced two stroke. But any 2017+ KTM 250/300 is smoother than that. Really, you can’t go wrong. It really depends on what kind of riding you do and are looking to do. I’ve ridden a YZ250X and a KTM 250 XCW TPI. The KTM is definitely a smoother, but less pesky motor. Lots of torque, you can ride it in one gear all day long. The nice thing about Husky’s and KTM is they keep their value very well, so you can give one a try for a couple years and won’t have a problem selling it if you want to try something else.

I’ve never ridden a KDX, but I had a KTM 200 for a number of years and this bike is pretty similar to that power wise. But it feels lighter and the suspension is better in my opinion.

It’s a proper enduro bike. I’m coming from a 300 2-stroke and I feel like this bike has plenty of power for everything I want to do. The 300 is a bit easier to ride because you can be very lazy, but I feel like this bike will make me a better rider.

I don't disagree with you. 150 or otherwise, all dirtbikes are expensive. Regardless of brand or displacement, you're basically going to be shelling out around $10k for a brand new enduro bike. I think this is partially because all of these bikes are basically race bikes, are damn good, and because they keep their value better than street bikes. Most people find them much more useful too, since an amateur rider can actually use a lot more of the capability of an enduro bike than they can out of a 1000cc motoGP bred monster. But, you can still go buy a trail or dual sport bike (TTR230 or CRF250 or something) for about half the price of one of these. Or get a used one. Good deals starting to pop up around here, now that the riding season is coming to an end :)

@@DmitriyAdv Ya you might be right. I’m the same weight, and hight as you. I’m on a 450 now and want to move down to a smaller cc bike cause I’m getting old , and the 450 is just to heavy for me now , and I need a more trail oriented bike now. I’m looking at a beta 200 ,or crf 250 , and YZ 250 fix , but the 4 storks are still on the heavy side,so maybe a 150 or 200 would better for me.

Maybe a ktm 250 4 cause they are lighter. How dose the 150 do in the deep lose sand that we have here in Michigan ? Places like little O , Harrison ?

you don't need a 150... you're on idle most of the time :-))))) the 85 cc will be better for your skill

You’re probably right, I hope to grow into the 150 some day 😉😂

I think it’s too quick for you
