I love the drone footage compilation on this video... can you do a more in depth video some day about your setup? What you like and dislike about your drone(s), its range, shooting technique, editing/format challenges?

Great show Kyle...you are definitely doing what you were called to do!

Thanks for doing all those upgrades to my bike Kyle... :-)

Great job, Kyle! Ton of work, time and effort goes into these videos! Thank you! BTW, the rust on those chains is giving me anxiety lol

Two close to call, both are top self. I like linkage only because it's something I can lower with 28" inseam. When I was younger I didn't care if I could touch because I was limber. Age and miles have changed that. I guess you can send in the shock but more money🏁👍🇺🇸

Great video. Love the views of the areas you ride in. You need to have a shirt sale to sponsor a ridding trip with you for a viewer

Nice, fair apples-to-apples comparison! Thanks.

Best dirt bike channel on youtube, thanks

I'd love these engines in a road bike too. Great review. Thanks

They are both sweet machines. Great Video!

Considring how much little difference they have, I'd choose the Husqvarna simply because of the blue,yellow and white colour scheme 👌

Hey Kyle, do you still plan on doing that honda cr250 build? I think that would be a fun series to show you don't need the latest to have fun in the sport! Love the videos.

I feel that the more simple design and less moving parts of the ktm is definitely better for any sort of trail riding. The husky looks cooler but I’ll be looking to get a ktm for its design with less parts.

Great review, those are dream bikes🤩

I would GLADLY pay $300 more for the superior aesthetics of the Husky.

Ktm looks better😂

Just curious between the KTM and the Husky, when the suspension is set up for your weight, is there a difference in seat height when sitting on the bike (basically I am wondering if the husky's linked suspension sites lower than the KTM PDS when loaded - allowing the rider to be closer to being flat footed). Thanks for putting together these videos, great stuff!

Great review. Scenery!

Great ridding footage

My neighbor's son and his buddy did the Tour if Idaho a couple years ago. One of them was on an old Hodaka Wombat. It's a 125 Fin-Head 2 stroke. The other kid was on a 1974 Yamaha Enduro which I think is a 175. By contrast, I've now seen 4Tour of Idaho videos in which new injected KTMs just quit running

In your review I think it comes down to the pipe. They will run slightly different with a gnarly over a fatty pipe. Put the same pipe on both & they will run the same.

Man am I glad I found your channel. Bike shopping is a real headache. Do you know if they've fixed the leaking issues on new models?

Great video! Thank you!

Awsome video thanks!

That Amazing background footage.

I spoke with Eric Gorr about increasing the low end on a yz250 and said adding a spark arrestor and/or a shorty silencer would increase the low end.

The linkage on the Husqvarna is the reason I went with my TE 300 over the KTM. Plus the triple clamps are nicer.

I ride PNW trail all year round, stuff here gets gnarly real quick. The pds just seems to handle the slower technical stuff with ease while at the same time soaking up big square edges without making the experience uncomfortable or uncontrollable. I think both setups are good and really play their best when it's tailored to the rider which is something a lot of people don't do or overlook.

They are supposed to be pretty similar to the husqvarna which where produced while they where owned by bmw Scince it is the same factory manufactoring them

Since the KTM is a few pounds lighter and a few hundred dollars cheaper I would think that the KTM would have an edge on the Husky. It would be different if you would benefit from the linkage but it sounds like that's not the case and not that noticeable. Thanks for the comparison.

Never ride a husq before but I love my new Ktm 300 exc tpi 19.

Great vid! Love those bikes, I'd love to get one someday.

Great video. Your videos are really good. Always happy when there is new one. And by the way how is the honda cr250r project going on ? Would love to see it.

I just got a husky te 250i and I love it

How come you revalved the TE and not the XCW? After riding both extensively I feel like the Husky rode more stinkbug and has a very divy/knifey front end. Wondering if you revalved for that reason and how the results were after revalve… thx!

a brand new EFI bike works good on the first few rides? amazing! go dump each one in a few puddles dump them on some rocks and see how they work in 5 years... my suzuki atv direct injection is on 15,000kms without a hiccup never split the case or even had it have a bad day

How the gearbox ratio on the husky? Does it also have such a slow 1st gear like the KTM?

Did u have to do any fuel mapping or tuning with the engine when you changed the pipe?

Did I hear you correctly when you said you set the power valve? Isn’t that a no no in tip bikes?

Never adjust the PV on a TPI bike, the timing is set from the factory to match the PV setting. Adjusting the PV will throw things off, not sure why they even left it as an adjustable design.

So the KTM is lighter, cheaper and will require less maintenance (via the exclusion of the rear linkage) but they ride so similar you could not choose a winner.. sounds like a pretty obvious choices to me and it also sounds like KTM is absolutely nailing the concept of a low maintenance 2 stroke trail bike. If I had more time and money I would be all over the KTM 300 TPI. Thanks for the video.

Want to buy one of these bikes in the future but I'll stick with my husqvarna wre125 for now

The ktm are slimmer över the gastank and looks smaller due to orange collur over White

I think the white Husky looks better than the orange KTM. I wish Yamaha would make the YZ 250X EFI with electric start.

Are people not finding cracks in the bottom of the oil tank , it's not leaking out the cap.

Isn’t Husky the same thing? I mean what did they bring to the table beside the name And color?

How was the magura front brake caliper vs the brembo? (I dont meen the slave cylinders)

Do you have a comparison of the gas gas 300 with other 300s on

Trick to starting it when its really cold is to NOT use the cold start.....just hit the button no throttle

Speaking of flaws, a major one for me is the crap design how the header pipe leaks I burnt 2 stroke oil between the cylinder and pipe.

@@jjjjjjjjrifufjssjosskenf If in an emergency situation and the airplane has to lose as much weight as possibly it will dump every last drop of fuel until it hits reserve right before it lands. In the military, fighter jets do this before landing on aircraft carrier's so that they don't blow out suspension parts and damage strain gauges and other stuff. Commercial airlines do it in emergencies, military does it every time. I was in aviation in the Navy and it's a real thing, they don't care about your tax dollars flying through the air. Sometimes the planes launch and go a circle around the boat and come back. Then they dump 500k worth of fuel right before landing. It's fucking stupid. One plane landing produces more emissions than 4 days of LA traffic, which takes every single two stroke motorcycle in the world running on WFO throttle running 32:1 for about 2 years straight. The government is just pointing fingers to have something to do I guess. I haven't figured that part out yet.
