Yeah its a pretty awesome bike. By no means am I able to push it to its full (or even close) potential but its a ton of fun to ride. I mostly ride a 125sx and a 250sxf both of which are 22 models so its taking me a little while to settle in with this one. The non-gopro shots of the bike do demonstrate what I am feeling which is the rear does not stay planted but a lot of that has to do with my weight vs what the bike is sprung for. Already ordered a new rear spring so will update once installed. Its a pretty amazing bike and you should ride one when you get a chance.

That little man you passed on the little 50 sx was Roman. I was shocked to see him in some else’s video. He said the next time you’re out at MX 191, he’s like to swap bikes for a lap or two. Lol

Haha perfect. That’s more my size anyways 😂

I have a 2022 Husqvarna 350 fx and im thinking about making the switch to the 300sx or just adding a rekluse to the 350. What are your thoughts on that if I ride about 50% trails and 50% track. Trails I ride are mostly open with some hill climbs here in dahlonega ga.

I am honestly not a fan of the rekluse as I lose a little clutch control which I think is important for good bike control. Dont get me wrong, the auto rekluse while stuck on a hill is great but I still dont prefer it. I would also add that some rekluse clutches that I have ridden will randomly stall when going from idle to open throttle. This is likely something that can be changed w a good set up but it does exist. If it was me and I was doing 50-50 trails to mx I would go w the KTM 300xc. The Sx valving would not be fun on square edges and obstacles on the trails. Depending on the size of jumps you plan to do, if you are consistently hitting the downside of landings and not always sending it to the flats, the 300xc would hold up just fine. Now if you are a hard core mx rider and hitting pretty large stuff, then maybe explore the idea of having one bike dedicated to Mx and the other to trail. Although more expensive, depending on your skill level and desire for big jumps dictates whether the suspension would be appropriate for cross over. Before I got more into Mx I used to ride my 2020 yz250x on both the trail and track and it did just fine as long as I was not overjumping or casing large jumps.

How do u feel about the forks and shock

To be transparent, at this moment I have less than 2 hrs on the bike. With that being said, the reviews from more experience test riders reveals that it takes greater than 5 hrs to break the chassis in and until then the bike can feel harsh which I agree with. Once I get the bike past a few hrs and the rear spring installed for my weight, I repost my review but in its current configuration, its pretty harsh at my 135 lbs w/o gear.

@Trace Stafford I'm 153 lbs and needed to go down to a 4.0 rear spring. Stock was 4.5. 142 psi in the fork. 20 out on the fork compression 18 on rebound. Shock 1-3/4 high speed, 19 out low speed, rebound 12. The rebound plays a huge role in reducing the harshness. This is my setup for hard pack dirt for now.

@@SpeedDemonExpress I ended up switch the forks to cone valves. I do enjoy them but I realize it’s overkill. The rear shock I had it resprung for my weight and valved. I still seemed to get a lot of kick/deflection on braking bumps although w some tuning it did calm down. I now have on order an Mx Tech national shock which I hope will be in in the next few weeks. And yes this is also over kill but it’s a stereotypical vet rider move and what can I say, I like nice stuff 😂

@Trace Stafford Cool. Do a video on the guts of those forks if you ever have them apart. Ironically I think you actually might need to speed up the rebound if the shock feels like it's kicking, most of that feeling usually happens after the initial bump, doesn't rebound fast enough to absorb the next bump and deflects or bucks.

Can really lug that thing a bit for a two stroke

This is true. But if you can’t lug it, a quick fan of the clutch and you are right back in the power
