KTM 350 EXC-F 2018

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
