The 2023 KTM Two-Stroke lineup is all-new! Motocross Action got to ride the highly anticipated 300SX two stroke at Red Bud. This isn't a typical TESTED video from the MXA wrecking crew but we do give a brief overall description and details on the bike. KTM limited us to time on the bike so we worked with what was given. Also we have a bonus for our viewers! The 2023 KTM 250SX and 125SX two-stroke made their way into the video as well. All of these bikes are in pre-production form and are expected to be in our hands officially August 2022. Until then, enjoy our first day of initial feedback at one of the most iconic tracks on the circuit!

@youtubeaccount9058 2 года назад

I hope somebody keeps offering a conventional bike with a carb and mechanical powervalve though. I have a carb'd 2018 300 XC and I just ride and ride it, there is little to go wrong, and can kickstart and ride it with a dead battery (even no battery at all). Meanwhile I overhearing about TPI's sensor issues, ECU error codes coming up, cold seizures, and uploading new maps. The two injectors on this new one will be a possible problem, since they are on 4 strokes when they get fouled. These new bikes may be great and I hope they are but I hope Beta or somebody keeps making a quality, simple 2 stroke.

@peteschiavoni 2 года назад

@@EarthSurferUSA Not a bot. I’m not saying all bikes have to be done up with every technological thing in the world, but a solid 2 stroke with the possibility for improvements. Personally I like the Yamaha YZ250X platform as starting point for myself. Then I can add on what I want. Upgrade what I want and it will help me learn my bike- just like I’ve been doing since late 70’s. It helps to know your equipment so you can trail fix a breakdown and get home. Now I know this isn’t for everyone but it’s my opinion based on my likes is all.

@rileyvosper411 8 месяцев назад

more motocross 100 percent but electric start is better all round in enduro, still better in moto but doesn't matter as much.

@postmortemspasm 2 года назад

I think for an MX bike, electric start only is fine, because youre never more than 5 minutes from your car, so can easily just push the bike back and jump start it. Enduro bikes on the other hand should always have a kick start cause youre often in the middle of nowhere

Finally 20 year old snowmobile technology on dirtbikes. Electronic power valves are 1980s GP bike tech, been wondering why it hasnt came sooner like honda did, and yamaha on their DT200 and TDR250

@kenharris8743 2 года назад

You're a smart man I was thinking the same thing two stroke technology has continued to improve many people don't know because it is improved on board snowmobiles

@JohnHowerton137 2 года назад

Because most of the efforts were botched (like that Honda powervalve). Many would probably argue the KTM TPI was botched. Tech from other places often doesn't translate well to high performance dirtbikes until said tech is super advanced. More often, dirtbike tech goes into other industries. Case in point, electric dirtbikes being the proving ground for battery and motor tech.

@KTMsoldier1988 2 года назад

@bwhaskell 2 года назад

What an epic media event for you guys. No better way for a manufacturer to prove their new technology. KTM will sell a lot of these tbi 2strokes. Quick question. Does the mapping try to help deceleration lubrication issues 2 strokes have? Is the mapping tuned for a rich decel? And how does that affect the off throttle behavior?

I'd like to know if the 250sx still hit like it used to. I have been considering getting a much newer bike than my 200sx but wanted to stay on the moto side of things and the e-start would be much welcomed. However, if the 250sx has a mellow powerband like the 300sx, that sounds like less fun. I want that HIT!

@user-mo8tm4jw2l 2 года назад

My mind says yes but my body says no when you say it’s extremely smooth. I love my 300 as it is with a carb BUT i was looking forwards to tbi in hopes we would have some bark compared to TPI but your not lending much hope to that dream. I’ll remain hopeful until we get some production bikes around for true and more in depth opinions. 🤙🏻
