A C rider isn't gonna pick up 1 second from fancy triple clamps. Forks and shock set up is all anyone outside pro should worry about imo.

Do you even understand how comfort and bike setup play into riding? Dude didn’t come here asking if the clamps changed flex characteristics of the bike or any other crazy questions. He just wanted to be able to move his bars back to get the rider cockpit fit better to him so he’s comfortable.

If you buy the exact same offset in an aftermarket triple clamp . I don't think most C riders would notice in terms of speed. But maybe comfort. however different offset can have a huge difference.

If you improve steering precision, that can help with speed and/or make you safer for a given level of speed. I believe this would help any level of rider to some extent. I definitely noticed an improvement in steering precision with the standard offset on my 150 and 300 that I installed the Luxon clamps on. The additional comfort was an added bonus.

Any experience based opinions on the KTM Powerparts clamps vs. Luxon on a 23-24 KTM 350? Also, 22 vs. 23.5 offset.

Edit: currently have xtrig mounts,stock clamps, Renthal 604s.

I was advised to stay OEM by REP, they said their testing showed the best feel compared to other clamps.

I currently have the powerparts clamps on my 23 350sxf and I feel they offer a slightly softer feel to the hands. Definitely not night and day but noticeable. I'm very keen to try some different offset clamps as I would like a little more high-speed stability entering fast corners.

I would definitely go the luxon clamps and the only reason I haven't got them yet is our Aussie dollar makes them so expensive and anything over 1k we have to pay import duties on.
