So Cycle World has reduced itself to using click bait style titles like "Don't buy this..!" "See this before...!". ???? It's not necessary for an established channel like this and turns me off. This just seemed to be a legitimate KLX review rather than what the title inferred, and as others posted didn't really tell us anything we didn't already know.

Keep the street on the street and dirt on the dirt... You'd better take picture of that dual sport if you ride it on real trails. It's not going to look like it did when you're done.

SM all the way. Perfect for everyday riding like you mentioned but capable of going offroad when you wanna go explore. 🤘

The answer did not, in fact, surprise me.

The people who would buy these bikes are not different types of people. I bought both and I ride them both.

Hmm, seems like deja vu all over again....

Dual sport, more dirt. SM, more pavement. Get a discounted KX450 and make a real SM out of it.

SM all day everyday

A trailbike is always a trailbike. Fit hard terrain knobbies. Put road wheels on, and it's just a useless trailbike. See how slow the 300 was on the canyon road. 😂 Just buy a road bike.

the lack of twin front disk brakes is a deal breaker

Good stuff. Thanks! Does anyone recognize where they were riding off road?

Informative!

Can I fit sm wheel set in my klx300l . Has anyone on here tried . I seem to get alot of oh no you do t wanna do that or can't do that . What's the story . I wish I bought the sm. I ride mire street and I'm a bit short . Not a h7ge deal I can still ride but tht sm looks another more my style. Any advice will ve muchly appreciated

Walaweh ❗

SM

I never really got the supermoto thing. A ride on an early ktm confirmed it. Then again I don't get dual sport either. Just give me an adventure bike please.
