Pros and Cons in comparison

KTM 500 EXC 2014

Unfortunately, our editors did not test this model.

Husqvarna TE 300 2016

Completely new engine for 2017! Lighter and quieter thanks to the balancer shaft, the two-stroke has also been lightened, with the 300 now weighing in at 102 kg. The choice for Erzberg, Romaniacs and Co!

Much quieter due to balancer shaft

powerful engine

best balance of weight and performance

I would prefer a four-stroke on smooth and easy tracks
