Which 2023 Dirt Bike is for YOU? 350XCF Or 350SXF 

Tell us about the updates on these 2023s "Everything's brand new and everything's RAD." Loved it

I would like to see a shootout between the KTM 350 XCF, HUSKY FX350, GASGAS EX350

Awesome, thanks Jay...💯👍

Great video. Thank you!

I have the 2024 250 xcf and 2023 250 sxf. Both are awesome bikes and have almost identical performance. I can’t say enough about how superb these bike perform. There are very few noticeable differences between the two bikes. The Xcf has a kick stand, thicker back tire, and spring vs air forks. My 14 year old son rides the sxf at the track and we substantially reduced the air pressure in the forks to accommodate his 127 pound body weight. Great video and review.

Keep the 350xcf information coming! I am waiting for mine to arrive in BC Canada.

Taco moto is doing a teardown of 2023, one particular change for 23 , they've gotten rid of molex power connectors and went with water dust proof connectors. Also i think the fuel pump is improved.

LOVE MY 2016 KTM 500EXC SIX DAYS EDTION ,SLOVAKIA .

I bought a 23 xcf. I am 50. B off road racer. Ive owner a 19 350sxf. These forks are great stock. They work over rough slow terrain. By far the best thing I like about the new bike. I have 30 hours on the new bike btw.

Great video. Please do a similar video on the 2 strokes, 250/300 SX vs XC

Can't wait for a 350exf test!

I ride in the lower 70% of the throttle on a 350 xc-f, but it's nice to know if I need some ponies, I can just twist the throttle more, lol. I have a 450xc-f too, but ride the 350 most of the time(I love the 6 speed). Thanks for sharing your views on those new bikes!!

These look outstanding

The skid plate looks awesome but why not cover the linkage as well?

Beautiful bikes! Can’t wait to throw a leg over that xcf!

THANKS GUYS !

People need to realize, the xc-f was made for GNCC style riding, which is fast paced woods riding, I have the 23 350 xc-f, it is perfect for the woods, fast, powerful and is very flickable in the trails. The closest to a 2 stroke for woods riding that I have ever had. I did go up one tooth on the rear and that enables me to ride 2nd or 3rd through the woods, still have plenty of usable grunt for the steep hill climbs in the western PA woods.

Yep! I wanted the new ktm350sx and I figured I'd use my 21 GG EX350F for open desert (wanted yours but you laughed at me). But the GG is so good on the track also that it's just not worth it to get the SX short of winning the 1.28 billion. So i changed my mind, the bike checks off too many boxes for all kinds of different riding, vet track, gp, desert. Just a vet track slow guy. Now if KTM would stop messing around and put the six speed on the 450's, then I'd look at the 350 sx for track and 450 xc/ex/fx for open desert. I'll see when the season starts again but the time I had it in the desert you can feel a little gapping in the gearing on the 350 under load (just long uphill sandy type stuff, high rpm in gear, upshift and it'll drop off in the taller gear) maybe a pipe and ecu would help or a more aggressive riding style. Suspension cost $$$ but at least it's not splitting cases on a new bike to add the 6th gear the 350 already has.

in my opinion, although SX-F is an mx bike, think it has a huge fun factor vs an enduro bike on flow like trail systems, esp with whoops similar to tracks.

What action camera are you using (totally smooth) while in the trails in this video?

I've put lighting kit on my XC-F 350 it works great, Siccass lighting kit

I rode my 2017 XCF 350 back-to-back to the 2023 factory edition XCF 350 and I'm telling you my 17 was faster and had a better more flex frame ride. That 23 was like riding a steel girder. I have never had a single problem with my 17 after 250 hours, but in the Facebook forums I see non-stop problems with all these brand new bikes. It looks like the KTM quality control is really going downhill.

Love 350s. And hope other brands catch on eventually. But doubt it unfortunately

Ive had the xcf. It is too jumpy for tight trails without clutching. The suspension is also firm. The best moto converted trail bikes I found are the kx x versions.

I put a light kit on my 350 xcf and had no problems

still love it

I bought the 2023 SX-F and I am wanting to install a skid plate on it. Can anyone direct me where to find the skid plate referenced in this video which comes stock on the XC-F please?

Beta Motorcycles also has 350 four-stroke and with the racing edition, you get KYB spring forks.

Waiting for next year's xcw

Think this is the next bike!

Is it normal for these 23’ bikes to have up and down rear linkage play?

I have heard alot about the Race Tech spring fork conversion and KYB but not so much about the WP drop in spring conversion. Do you know much about them?

23 250/300xc for me , I tried 4 stroke just not my thing !

It was me jumping the doubles not Rado and Rado is following me on the track because I'm fast I'm good 😀 :)

When he says quick shift is coming in the future to the XCF does he mean future bike or future update via software?

XCF for me

I’m an east coast guy. My brother just sold his 250 XCF and I sold my 250FX cuz they are miserable on the trails out here. There’s a big difference between West Coast and East Coast

I have a question does the xcf have the same handlebars like the sxf ik the make it's neken but if i had to take the handguards off the xcf will it look like the sxf handlebars from the front?

How is the air box and air filter for change it?

Have you all played with the kreft moto kit for the air forks? Any clue of the xcf stator has enough to support a fan? 60watt?

Hey jake does a 2022 ktm 350 xcf have a spark arrestor ?

Quick question for you, what temp do you set your radiator fan to come on?

"With that extra 6th gear, you can use it to connect those trails" ... I'm sorry, what? What does that mean 😂

I was at dealer today looking at this exact bike the xcf 350 and he said it was very easy to put a headlight on and was all plug and play. He even brought it out to show me. Do you think he didn't know what he was talking about?

doesn't the 250 xcf 350 and 450 have a quickshifter like the sxf series. Husq fx 350 and 450 2023 also have quickshift

What is the watt output on the 2023 ktm xcf

Awesome vid, need more!! WHite tank is butt ugly turns into a yellow dez clapped out look in months. Make it black KTM! If you can’t tell your gas range or mileage without looking at the tank you probably should NOT be riding long distances. That is the worst argument. Also , the Gas Gas does NOT have all those changes for less money. Completly different characteristics.

Trick question! It's actually the 300 2 stroke

The 350 is the best option in my opinion. I guess the only question I would have is are the changes significant enough to upgrade from a 18 or 20?

Love KTMs- a little more pricey but worth it in the long run. Thanks for the info Jay!!!

Since KTM doesn’t make a 350sxf factory edition, could you buy the 350xcf and swap the tank direct from an sxf ?

Pretty cut and dry. Do you want a track weapon or a fast woods weapon?

Send the forks in to have them revalved and you are good?

Gear ratios are different on the xcf from 2022.

Those KTMs look amazing. Hope the Japanese brands start making 350s soon too

Ik this is a dumb question but. Does the xcf sound a lil different from the sxf? Im just wondering if the exhaust note was changed like the excs.

My friend the market here in Europe is going crazy..for real.. for example a used ktm 350 exc (Enduro) 2015 costs 8000euro and at the same time a 350sxf (Motocross) 2020 costs 5000euro... guess what i am going to buy.... the sxf no matter what...

I used to have a 125 2 stroke about 15 year ago. Would like to get a bike again would the 350 be to much power for me should i just get 250f ?

I have a 22 350sxf. What size are the rear axle nut?

I have a 19 FX-450 my buddy has an 18.5 factory edition FC-450. His FC is a better xc bike than my FX-450

Can you speak to differences between xcf and fx?

Beta has an off-road 350 now.

literally any big bike i got a chinese 125

Dumb question. But it looks like you are trail-riding in California someplace near Glen Helen. I don't know how you were able to do that since there are no 2023 SX-F or XC-F bikes with red or green CARB stickers. I hope to ride one of these off-road sometimes in California.

there not tow strokes

How about showing the 250xcf some love ? :-)

Okey, gas gas enduro?? Pleasee 4strokes

That was a braking bump u did...not a double🤣

after 10 minutes of this video I still have no clue...

Neither one of them. Can't afford 10,000 dollars for a dirt bike.

The paint worn off of the clutch cover on this brand new bike is a great example of KTM quality. I sold my new ktm after just 10 months of ownership, these things are plagued with made in China parts and horrible dealership support.

Neither. The new 300sx kills them both...

Ktm Good resale? Nope. I could not sell my troublesome 22 tpi bike with just 20 hours on it and absolutely no signs of use views for $7500. The resale on KTM branded bikes is horrible, this is fact. You go to any big dealer and you see rows of these made with China parked KTM bikes available for purchase, and only a few quality Japanese bikes, most of the japan bikes have sold tags on them. Hardly any hardly quality Japanese machines available in comparison. KTM has fallen to the quality level of CFmoto. When you change your design regularly, you don't have a proven design. The KTM bikes look ragged out after their 1st use, the Chinese fuel pump needs upgrading immediately after purchase if you want reliability. All KTM bikes should come with a taco moto coupon book.
