250 2 stroke for me Modern 4 strokes are good, but 2strokes are so much fun, more playful, which is what a hobby rider like myself is after, not tenths off lap times

Had a KTM exc 250, never fouled a plug, still my favorite bike. The power was like a electric motor, sweet.

I don't think they realised how close they were to the edge at 13.50 minutes in.... A very close call. Great video!

Such an awesome vid!! Thanks for making this, just epic 👍😎

Nice video Max, great terrain and beautiful scenery, you are certainly keeping us guessing what's coming week after week another top quality production, also well done 24mx and Sean .

Anybody else miss 200s? Kick starters, pre-mix? Guess I’m just old school. All the awesome upgrades and missing out on the good stuff… Thinking an oil pump is somehow better than pre-mixing is beyond me.

You are a Legend Max👌 Now That's a suprise 💪

Love the new models. Per usual KTM seems to have knocked it out of the park. I suspect the 250exc would be my choice too. Thanks for giving us a look at the 24's 💯🔥🤘🏻

Have they made 2 strokes great again !!!!

which one would I buy? - the 250 two stroke - there is nothing more needed in life - the smell, the sound, the power and the handling (in that order 😄).

that's what Sean thought too. He loved the 250

Great informative video 👌✊ The 250 2 stroke all day long. Would be nice to try and see how it feels compared to the 2021 250 2 stroke. As I do enduro and hare and hounds. Am not a fan of the plastic sub frame as bet that’s not cheep to replace. And would be the first thing to brake if looped out so should make it cheeper to replace

He did a great job both in front of the camera and on the bikes.

that 300exc looks good !

Nice video max again

I lived my youth on a 2 stroke, so it's the 250 2 stroke for me. 😃👍

Not one mention of the new electric power valves or how 95% of these new changes were actually brought over from the MX side of KTM’s lineup in 2022.5 factory editions and the 2023 SX/SXF lineup. All in all these newer TBI bikes are flat performers. Very stoked about the 300 SX/XC.

Actual bike test starts at 5:00

Great video boys!

I bet the two Stoke smells better😊

Good review of the 2 strokes, felt like he glossed over the 4 strokes a bit though. Interesting comments on the 300. I think there can be alot of manufacturing toleraces at play with the latest KTM's, but it does make sense the 250 is a good bike now that they are back at carby power levels.

He always glosses over 4 strokes, though he doesnt hide that hes a 2 smoker fan boy

Going for the 300 XC-W (EXC) to add to my stable. To date, my 2019 TPI XC-W has been the best bike ever, hands down over the 20, 21, and 22. So I'm excited to see how this 2024 TBI XC-W pans out. Looks like the suspension will be quite nice. BRAAAP!!!

Awesome Video 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🙏🙏🙏🙏

2T for life!!!!

Incredible terrain! Like a dream. :)

TWO STROKE FOREVER 💨💨

Great stuff !!! KTM needs to do these tests for regular guys too, i would love to try these bikes .... i guess there's too much liability involved ..... that scenery was epic !!!!!

Dealers often have ride days. But if you have no experience they arent going to let you have a rip. Check your local dealer about a ride day cause ktm will be hauling demo bikes around. I love my 250xc. It is more work to ride than my 450.

Contact Ady Smith KTM Offroad Experience as he is getting a new fleet of '24 EXCs (everything bar the 500) in July😉👍👍

What a present🎉.

Probably the best looking KTMs in a long time. I totally agree the smaller, middle bikes are just more fun.

KTM enduro models have changed so much from just the past decade let alone the past 5 years. We thought TPI was a big thing now it's moved on to TBI with two strokes that have quickshifter, times have changed in the dirt bike world

Nice review when are you gonna test the new fantic xe300 out?

Im from south Africa but i gotta say the south Africa music was not needed but im happy knowing ktm cares for south Africa :)

I just like the sound and smell of a 2 stroke. 250+

So glad I got my 23 exit W. If I want to change it to TBI, it's a pretty cheap switch, and I still get my kick starter. Oak hard to imagine an Enduro bike without a kickstart. Just to save a little weight.

The two Stroke, No Contest!!

Love the KTM 2T's and most of the new changes. BUT not being able to even add an aftermarket kickstart is a dealbreaker for many people who ride in cold climates like myself. I can never buy a bike without it. You never need it until you do! Also if you are going to use a timber sled conversion in winter, bump starting is also very difficult or impossible depending on where you are.

That's 2000 meters above sea level in Lesotho mate, that's 6 500 feet. You were at serious altitude, so the little 150 would have felt it. 250 is the most playful. 300 is what you want when it gets very technical. It's got a flatter, fatter power curve and will chug up a really technical face where the 250 is a little peaky. That whole debate around 2 vs 4 stroke is moot and based on preference. But there is a reason why all the top extreme enduro 's are won on 2 strokes, and its not marketing. right tool for the right application. The 300 has a heavy flywheel. It dumbs down the motor a bit, but it's what gives you traction in the very difficult terrain and it just doesn't stall. Thanks for the vid.

Hey Max, next time you need someone to go to Africa, look me up. I would love to go down to the "Motherland"🙋🏾‍♂️😂 No, but seriously, great video, and an awesome surprise, bro!

Does the 500share the frame as well

I suppose it's down to clutch feel?

The 250 2 stroke is a great engine

Great video please just remember Lesotho is a country within our SA borders they should be thanked for their hospitality

I was thinking to get a 2024 but now that i see how diferent is 2024 from the 2022-2018

You're not from Africa, i suppose, else you'll know that the indigenous lot will stand right in the road even if you tell them not to, so not the riders fault.

Nice video but not real technical. for instance at 350 4 has to weigh quite a bit more than that 250 2. you feel that on the trail and when you have to pick it up. too bad KTM doesn't make a 300 4s like Sherco. had an older one and it was my favorite bike.

Goodstuff

VIDEO STARTS AT 5:11

Thr "best" bike is what you are familiar with. Ive been using 500s as offroaders for over 30 years...

Wow people really don't get the 500! Hands down the easiest bike to ride out of all of them. Need to remedy this big number=scary fallacy somehow.

Everyone should boycott KTM till they use the old cylinders again that don't keep going bang or running backwards!! And tbi isn't that good 2nd generation of it still loads of bugs use the old cylinders for the tpi you will have a good one if not lose heavy customers everyone is getting rid of them

Man you are pronouncing Lesotho so wrong lol

It's weird to me, that anybody would find mixing gas to be a pain in the arse. It's extremely easy. I even have multiple bikes for my wife and daughter. Their bikes are pump gas. Still no biggie to bring 2 cans. I've heard bad things already about the TBI here in Idaho. Which is too bad, bc that new KTM looks so damn good.

such a great video
