God the husky is so good looking! I just rode my 23 300xc yesterday for the first time. Thing rips! Kind of a handful in slower technical terrain but very fun. I agree, this is the best 2 stroke motor ever made.

Looks amazing 😍

Nice job. I just bought the 2024 KTM 300 XC. Looks like they put a couple nicer options on the husky such as protaper bars and did rims. Not a real big deal just saying. I love this bike. Went to MX track first ride and it was fantastic. I am coming off a 2022 KTM 450. Heading to the woods today. I'm sure it is going to be fantastic.

Great bike !

Got my orange version of this bike a week or so ago and it's such a good all rounder. I love the spring fork and I haven't had any issues at all running a fan in some moderate enduro. I know lots of guys have issues but our local group has been fine, just keep the fan at a higher temp kick in so it isn't on all the time.

Ktm makes a linkage guard that bolts right up to the skid plate. I went that route as i really like the stock skid plate.

Nice review! happy to see manufacturers changing things that final users have complaint. The new wp close cartridge is for me the best upgrade, air fork as well as OC xplor forks were the weakest point in the whole ktm lineup.

Broke my 21 TX sub TWICE!! May be the reason I go orange next… never broke an aluminum one in my 40+ years

I just rode a 24 TX 300 and posted a video riding a 23 back to back for comparison. I felt the old Oil/Spring designed forks are a step in the wrong direction. The forks feel heavy and drop the bike more when tapping the rear brake in the air. Sluggish. On rocky slow stuff they are great, but fast sand, deep whoops, fast washes. aggressive speeds they marginal. On a motocross track they seem dangerous and require springs. The TX, FX, XC models are supposed to be diverse bikes not trail or enduro only. Having access to enduro rides, then motocross tracks, open desert, requires a bunch of effort or time to make them work. Minimum time with a pump and the airforks shine for diversity. If was replacing my 23 husky with a 24, I would rather get a motocross version and suffer with a small tank a 5 speed versus the compromised chassis caused by the heavy oil/spring fork. I wish KTM would offer a trade up option to the higher tech airForks, for those of us that want a bike that can do more than just trail/enduro riding.

@XploreEnduro

Funny how that works because my opinion is the exact opposite haha. I have about 40 hours on my 24 now and I would pay a large premium to keep these spring forks. I think they are better on virtually every terrain I’ve rode them in including moto. I have rode them back to back as well. I definitely understand what you are saying but every other manufacturer uses a traditional oil spring fork and I think it just comes down to preference and adjustability. It’s hard to argue with the ability to respring the air forks with a few pumps, that is cool. I’d go as far as saying I am happier with these stock spring forks then I was with $3k A kit KYBs on my gas gas. An hour into a hare scramble and the harshness of hot air starts to creep in too. I definitely respect your thoughts and appreciate you sharing this info, I have several friends that buy the moto version and add a tank/etc for offroad. I also have a pro level motocross friend that is frustrated the moto bikes still come with aer instead of the traditional spring. Pretty interesting how we all love different things and feelings

@@XploreEnduro ya, I see all that too and if I owned them I’m sure would have to re-spring them which would change the dynamics a lot. Many times you get the spring to do the work, for the right weight on the bike and I only have experience on the stock 24’ spring rate. I don’t race dez or motocross anymore as I have gotten older, so for me just to go out and have some fun and make the adjustments on the fly is so nice, having air to offset the weight of a pack/water, a drone, heavy drone batteries, keeps it simple. In particular, where I live, I might be riding at 45 degree temps one day then 3 days later I’m riding in 90 degree temps on a track. However, I probably should clarify, that I’m not saying the air forks are awesome , rather I can make them pretty good for all my terrain I ride, quickly and easily without pulling them apart. I do like the lighter weight factor . I just wish there was an option from KTM so it was not just one option, across the board with GasGas, KTM, and Husky. So for me I would rather have an OK fork for everything, than an awesome fork for rough terrain, that can suffer on aggressive situations. Which always seemed the case when I race professionally in desert, I had to have a second set for moto. I’m just old and don’t want to fuss with them much. Lol

Good video, but you are pointing out lots of things that were just supply issue, aka the non o ring chain. some 2023 TX 300 had o ring chain, some didnt. Surprised you want the brembo pull also, the braketec pull i felt for the clutch was far superior than the brembo which is stiffer.

“Supply issue” shouldn’t be an excuse from Husky when we pay $12k+ for these bikes!

Hard enduro you can probably expect 50-55 miles out of a tank. Racing you’ll run out at 40 if you’re lucky. Some of the braktec are good but lots of them are not consistent and don’t bleed/work well. I think they improve each year tho, just hiccups initially.
