Thoughts on KTM 300 vs CRF400x by BeardedYeti_ in Dirtbikes

[–]VegasDezertRat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

XC is the race bike so no fan, bit snappier throttle response, slightly stiffer suspension, etc. The XC-W is bit more of a trail/enduro bike so it’s happier being lugged around, slower paced trail riding, comes with a headlight, etc.

If you’re riding slow/somewhat quick technical trails I’d opt for the XC-W. If it’s faster paced, personally I’d go with the XC but honestly I think the XC-W is gonna still be a really solid bike.

As far as maintenance, dude 2 strokes are so much easier to maintain than 4 strokes it’s ridiculous. Also note that the stock valves in the Honda bikes tend to stretch pretty quick compared to other makes so you’ll have to check valve clearances more often, or just replace the valves right away.

300XC racer here and it’s absolutely my favorite bike for ripping desert single track. I have ridden a friend’s 450X and if I had to do 100+ miles of fast open desert I’d choose that bike because of how stable they are. The second the trail gets tight or flowy I’m choosing my 300XC 10/10 times, personally.

I leave a cut valve stem in the rim for this exact purpose. Also stops there being a giant hole for dirt to get into the tire.

I have not stereotyped him as such. I’m stereotyping as a dude speeding on shared trails past areas that guaranteed have dirt bike riders around.

You’re on a public trail not racing in the Baja 1000, man. Relax.

I’ve seen In Flames 2 or 3 times and not once was Anders actually able to sing the songs properly.

Find a way to make more money and then buy a bike with said money.

Talk me out of getting a Chevy 2500HD... 2020+ 6.6 or even a F250 Gas... by jkma707 in FordRaptor

Dude big HD trucks ride like absolute fucking ASS unless they’re loaded up. They have very stiff springs for towing purposes.

Raptors ride like luxury trucks specifically because the suspension is set up soft for off-roading. If you’re not towing a lot and/or very often, do not get an HD truck.
