Damn it! Now I have to get one to go with my two Yamaha WR450’s. A light weight, six speed, two stroke Woods Warrior. A real contrast to the WR’s. Variety is the spice! Thanks for the most comprehensive and thorough review of this bike on KZread.

Great video, honest & to the point! Love the channel, keep them coming 👍

I missed everything you said I was so hypnotised with how good you ride a dirtbike. Love my gasgas best bike I've owned.

Cool stuff, keep’em comming. I’d like you to review an older bike - GasGas ec300 gp 2018/2019, or Rieju equivalents in 2021.

Liked the review, helped me add trust on reliability of it's technology, very helpful. I have a soft spot for the beta rr200, I'd love to see your review on it

That log section of riding 2:34 is slick!

💯 agree with the clutch and brake review. Love the clutch but hate the brakes. Was literally just talking about switching out the front brakes from my husky 450 to my gas gas. Other than that though great overall bike!

I have a 2017 TE300 with 150 hrs on it and it’s been rock solid. Just put a new pipe on at 140 and the piston and cylinder looked brand new still.

Ive been killing myself trying to decide what bike I want to replace the 2012 250XC-W with. I think I just figured it out. Thanks for another great video Rich!!!

@KnVEnduro I've try that Braketek clutch and I'd say it's better than the Brembo.

Heck yah!! Cool to hear from a legit rider about stock suspension, I think most people automatically send out their suspension because they are afraid to play with it. Stock can run pretty dang good!

Hi Rich I hope you’ll do a review on Beta xtrainer 300 at some point. Thanks for awesome videos

You should try the RG3 Suspension revalve - it handles the little stuff while not blowing thru on the bigger stuff. I was 17 seconds faster on a 3 minute loop using the revised suspension. Not so much hard enduro - but I’m sure you would benefit as well.

great video Rich!

I know your a smoker, I just came off of one myself, but you should review a fe350s. It would be a best of both worlds comparison.

Luv your review videos, please keep them coming !! interesting comment you made about gearing, I have a 20 300 ecw, I tried 13/52 and found I got more wheel spin with it so I went back to 13/50, much prefer 2nd and 3rd gear with that setting, even 1st gear is better, less snappy, I'm a muppet rider so maybe that's why? :-(

@mas4133

Although 13/50 might have been OEM on many wide ratio KTMs owned, I've gravitated to 14/52 to keep ratios similar yet ease wear on CS sprockets and chains! IMHO :-(

Great video. Thank you 🙏. From 🇬🇧

Very informative video! It makes others look pale

Hello Rich, I'am from germany and like to see your videos. I learned a lot and try to repeat your technics. If it is possible, I would like to see you on a TM 250 or 300 2-stroke with injection. Thanks and keep it up!

I think you should review tpi 150 (with tsp head & map). I consider it as a perfect tool for beginner in extreme - way better than 250 at least but I haven't gone into 300 yet.. I would also love to hear your thoughts about 350 4-stroke used in hard enduro. You can choose the color from ktm, husky or gas gas

I assume you haven’t had any problems with the dreaded crankcase pressure sensor. That’s reassuring. I feel as if my entry into the 2t tpi world with the ec300 was meant to be. As a weekend warrior I feel like I will get plenty of seat time for my investment. Oh and I can keep practicing all the skills and drills shared on this channel. 👊🏽✊🏽🤘🏽

KTM 500 exc-f! I know this is not the bike you'll likely choose... but I would love to hear your thoughts on this bike after a decent amount of hours of extreme enduro.

Did you find that you needed to adjust the power valve ? Thank you for all the knowledge!

How many hours had you actually put on this bike, as I understand, even without a top-end rebuild? How many hours on average is a single training session for you and how many hour do you ride per season? Thanks for the review, your videos are the best on the internet, they're really 90% of my techniques knowledge.

It would be nice a Rieju MR300 review.

What gearing would you recommend for the EC300 for single track PA forest, up and down slopes and medium rocky. Not boulders, but baseball to watermelon size rocks? On my Xtrainer I’m mostly in second gear with 13/51.

LOL. My 2022 KTM 300 XC TPI was at the dealer 3 times due to my complaining it was not producing any power. At 7 hours it exploded. Trail riding always. Even twisting the crankshaft, and the piston and cylinder severly damaged. My 1st and last anything from KTM!!

Good one!

Wow! You’ve got some crazy bike control skills!! I’m buying a 22 GasGas EC 300 in the next couple days, but it will never get used like you rode in this video! Good to know these bikes are built to handle that kind of abuse though!

Bummer to see you move on as like seeing the EC300 content!!

Good stuff as always! Interesting hearing your comments on suspension being good enough for slow technical riding, which I agree with. Any issues with sensors? When did you do a top end?

Same motor like Husky/Ktm but has about 90gr lighter flywheel than his cousins, from here the extra snap. It's great where you ride, but in muddy terrain it's not so good.

Rich can you compare the VX30 vs the M5B front tires?

At 7:38 what upper tube protectors are those? They look thick and sturdy.

Interested to see what you can do on a 350 4t.

Rich, your content never disappoints and always delivers a lot of useful information in a short amount of time, I've found KTM clutches to be probably the best stock ones out there, in the future you should consider testing an RK Tek head the amount of low end torque increase in Kelsey's combustion chamber design is amazing and he will custom tailor it to your needs and it doesn't require remapping.

Sherco 300 SE Factory

I love my 2020 husky 300 but I’m going with a 2022 sherco 300 se factory around august. I’ve not been able to put much experience on a carb bike for hard enduro (I really only started riding 4-5 days a week about 2 years ago) so I’m looking forward to seeing the differences. My biggest concern right now is the clutch on the sherco because I love the husky clutch so after testing it out for ~50 hours I’ll probably go with a rekluse manual clutch. Thanks for the review, Rich!

Get back on a Sherco already 👌

Time to go 4t yzf 250x or play bike crf 250f , what can it do?

Hi! Can you also provide feedback for a Yamaha DT125 for trails. Please? im from Philippines

Just wondering about feedback on the plastics. I know it's not a high priority, but I have seen other reviewers mention it is more brittle on the Gas Gas than the KTM or Husky. I'm wondering if it's a factor in the cost of the bike in comparison to the other brands.

Rieju got the rights to produce the original Gas Gas EC 300 and also supply the spare parts for the existing models. MR 300 is a carburated engine, avoiding so the complexity of TPI system. It has top guality components (KYB, Nissin, Magura etc) and a lot of usable power. I posses the 2019 Gas Gas EC 300 and I'm totally pleased by the bike. I have more than 220 hrs of soft and hard enduro in stock form, without a single issue!
