Swapping bikes with some friends during out first Midwestern ride of the season. It was fun to jump between my 2018 KTM 350 EXC-F and their 2020+ FE501's and see what those bikes were like and how they all compared.
In general the KTM / Husky 500 platform is amazingly capable. Tons of power and torque, but still feels very much like a light weight enduro bike. I was very impressed with it in the tight singletrack!
My only complaint is the vibration, which is apparently a common issue with the new 500s. If anyone knows of a solution to it, I'd love to hear it, as I can see one of these bikes in my garage sometime in the future.
