Pros and Cons in comparison

KTM 250 EXC 2014

The "big" two-stroke engine was newly developed in 2017 and is used on the 250 and 300. The electric starter is now no longer "flange-mounted" but compactly integrated. The 250 engine remains true to its line and has increased over the entire rev range. The bike offers a high degree of perfection and in expert hands is an unbeatable and indestructible winning machine. Strong enough for professionals! 300cc for the fast fraction not really necessary. Great plus in riding comfort thanks to the new balance shaft: significantly less vibration!

High performance in combination with lively handling

simple design - thus hardest to handle under extreme loads

lower vibrations due to new motor with balancer shaft

Compared to the four-stroke, still more strenuous to ride on long stages

engine response "good", but not as clean as with the four-stroke

compared to the 300, especially for less experienced pilots, too little torque in the rev range.

KTM 350 EXC-F 2017

The KTM 350 EXC-F offers a successful overall package that will please 4-stroke fans. The powerful unit convinces with clean power, even if the KTM has to be kept at high revs and the engine is a bit rough. In terms of handling, it seems comfortable but a little nervous, which means that confidence in the machine is lacking at first. The brakes, on the other hand, are easy to control.

Good power delivery

comfortable chassis

well controllable brakes

Rough engine running

nervous handling at first
