Bike bought at Carl's Cycle - www.carlscycle... (Jack Struthers is the best shop owner in the game) - After ~100 hours of use (plus 140 on a 2020 TX 300), here is my long term review of the 2021 GasGas EX 300 and the TPI motor package as a whole. Its been a hoot to ride this all over the Idaho, Montana, Colorado, Utah regions. Looking forward to more.

just bought a 22 ex 300 and have most of the same thoughts as yourself. This is my second bike from the Ktm family and I will say it is very smooth and runs like a diesel tractor in the forest. so smooth.

KTM bought both Husky and GASGAS so that KTM denyers like me can buy a KTM, but still say I would never buy a KTM. Alas, my 2022 EC 300 is on order to go with my two WR450’s. Great video! Thoughtful and thorough. Excellent quality also.

Hey great review, thanks. I have 100 hours on a Gas Gas EC 300 2020. I agree with all your comments on the bike (even though our specs are different ) The EC has better plastics with a built in grab handle that's very comfortable. But I actual removed the stock tail piece with the grab handle and fitted a tugger strap, which I find more useful in most conditions. Our forks are different, but I re-valved mine too and did a bladder conversion on the shock. I love TPi motors despite having owned a succession of 7 KTM 300 XCW's with carbs. In my view folks who don't like them haven't taken the time to adjust their style to play to the TPi's strengths. I love the Gas Gas and honestly feel it has a different feel to my previous KTMs. Of course a lot of this is down to linkage vs PDS. The true measure of whether you like a bike or not is whether you would buy the same model again. I definitely will when this one gets too long on hours.

Nicely paced, informative review as always. And no cringe, despite your humble warning. Love that hard enduro you are riding. I sold my KX for a Surron because it suits the terrain here so perfectly and helps a non-MX native like me build skills. First of the big snows due tomorrow, though, so the two-wheel toys are going to the back of the shed.
@JeffreyJim09
@JeffreyJim09 2 года назад
I've got a Surron in the garage too! Its the girlfriends, but I have fun on it. I'd throw some serious money at it if the frame was bigger. I've even considered making my own. SO much fertile ground here...

@@JeffreyJim09 Speaking of serious money, my battery upgrade just arrived. Yup, the frame is small but with riser bars it works for me as a weedy six-foot guy. I tried to explain the Surron vibe in a vid but did not reach your level of eloquence.

Great review; I have a 19, 20, and 21 300 TPI - my 19 runs soooo much better than the 20 and 21! I quit riding those bikes all together. The 19 didn't need an idle screw, didn't need the radiator hose protector, and it's just runs like a champ. Don't knock the 19's until you've had one. The 20 and 21 are being sold and I'll wait until 24 when they work the bugs out of the new throttle body machine. I'll always keep my 19! Cheers.

Good review. Your doing great for your 4th year in. I've been riding a long time, but didn't grow up on the pegs though. I really need to take some to put some focus on technique. I have a 2022 EX300 and I will say the same about the rear grab. Had it a only a few months. I've had an 07 and a 13 KTM and never and issues. Easy to grab. I did add a grab strap for the rear with this bike. Will see how it does. It really annoys me about it. I just now getting cozy with the suspension and starting work the clickers. I've upped the spring for the sock. Don't notice any kicking. I think I have the forks air where I need it. The front is just stiff for slow rocks. It deflects a bit and is pretty stiff. Going to try and soften it up. Will likely end up sending it off when its time for a shock rebuild. Maybe looking at a spring conversion eventually.

Perfect review, very helpful info... One question I have outside of the bike (you answered all my bike questions) is, how do you find your trails? You have a lot of amazing footage in this vid, some from races, some from casual explore riding. How are you finding the trails?
@JeffreyJim09
@JeffreyJim09 2 года назад
Good question! A few ways... 1) I live near a lot of great trails. It honestly took me some time (and good buddies) to explore them all and figure them out. 2) Trailforks is pretty good (but not great) at showing moto trails. Its really a mtb app, but not bad. 3) Gaia with forest service trail layering is awesome 4) Buddies. When I travel I have a network of friends who have "been there" and share tracks with me. Hope that helps!

Hello Jeff, I bought a 2023 gas gas 250EC. There is a rattle from the very first startup ,the dealership said that it is normal and that these bikes are loud. Are you familiar with the rattle I am talking about? All videos I see of gas gas bikes I hear the same rattle. If you are familiar with the rattle is there any way to quiet the rattle and what is it? I heard Lucas fuel cleaner can lubricate and quiet the rattle. I would just like a second opinion from a fellow rider. Thank you for your time sir.

What was your main reason for going with the EX over the EC. I’m going to get one but I’m torn between the two. I mainly ride single track, hill climbs, the occasional Grand Prix woods race/hare scramble.
@JeffreyJim09
@JeffreyJim09 2 года назад
Honestly, you can't go wrong either way. I actually like the transmission of the EC better but the fork(s) on the EX better. If you are a faster rider who pushes hard in a variety of conditions (speed wise) I think you'd be happier with the EX. If you often find yourself in slower, chunkier terrain I think you'll be happier with the EC.

Good catch! Though this isn't a rookie thing, this is a Jeff thing. I have raced mountain bikes at the pro level for over 20 years, and sometimes (rarely) ride without gloves. I like it. Other WC pros, like sam blenkinsop also go gloveless at times. I even carry chalk with me for when I want to do this. ...just don't crash.
