Pros and Cons in comparison

Husqvarna TE 300 2015

The racing machine for two-stroke enthusiasts. Perfectly tuned and fast as an arrow. A bestseller in the Husvqarna range! And rightly so! In the test, we also tried it in combination with a Rekluse clutch. But the overall package seemed a little too nervous. The TE300 is best enjoyed with a conventional clutch.

Lightweight, powerful, extremely fast

engine easy to control

lots of traction in the lower rev range, power for every situation in the upper rev range

inexpensive to run, hardly any service costs

reliable! The huge engine runs 95% of the time at partial load anyway.

More nervous and strenuous on connecting stages than a four-stroke

lower range than with four-stroke

KTM 250 EXC-F 2015

The big 2017 upgrade has been particularly good for the small four-stroke. Because KTM has been able to further increase the power on the lively machine. Now even those riders for whom it was just a tad too weak can try it again. Of course, it has become even more manageable and all the new strengths of the 2017 models also apply to it. But with its 40 hp, it has broadened its target group more than the other 17 models.

Easy to ride - in every respect

traction and power delivery unbeatable

beginners hold the line easier with it than with the 2-strokes

in terms of weight, there is only a slight difference in handling compared to 2-strokes.

Actually a great bike for beginners, but equipped like the "big ones" it is also almost as expensive as a "big" Enduro

Lifting the front wheel over obstacles requires better riding technique than with a 350 or 450.
