If i said it once ive said it a thousand times… you can’t just hop on a 350 and do a couple laps. You have to do 5-10 hours and learn its strengths, if you don’t do that you are never going to understand the overall positives of a 350. Ride a 350 for 10 hours and then jump on a 450 and tell me the 450 is a better platform. You will never want to ride 450 again, you will instantly notice the heavy feel, the lethargic nature of the motor and how the heavy torque ruins the riding...

Yeah would be interesting to see. My butt dyno says there's not much in it but it wasn't a same day/same track back to back test so I could be a bit off.

The ti6 pro is definitely more quiet than the standard ti6. If you don't mind the look of the stock exhaust cutting out the baffle and the 2 screens will get 80% of the power gains of a full PC system and is still fairly quiet.

We found that most people with the Gen3 Pro clamps on the KTM (and funny enough, Yamaha and Honda) settled on either the 23 or 24 mm offset. So we split the difference to 23.5 and offer it on the Gen3 "standard" clamps now too. They're the more affordable version of the two. Not quite as nice and don't have all the same features, but I'd put them up against anyone else's offerings. You can see the full rundown comparing the two here: https://www.luxonmx.com/blog-luxon-gen3-triple-clamps.html The biggest benefit of the pro clamp is the adjustable offset. Not everyone will prefer the...

I'm used to it now and honestly don't mind it. At first it was just alot louder than stock and pretty raspy especially higher in the revs. If I was to do it again I would go the pro which you are and I believe that sounds a bit better.

Luxon clamps on my 23 KTM 350sxf. Set at 24mm off-set. Absolutely got rid of the nervousness on corner entry, and even stayed in the long nasty straight away ruts better. Surprisingly turned better as well. Same set up, KYB front.

I bought the Luxon clamps for my 23 350sxf. I run them at 24mm offset adjustable down to 22mm. Work great, quality product. My buddy runs them on his 2023 YZ 450 at 24mm likes them also. Calmed the Beast down.

No, nothing stands out like that to me. I had xtrig clamps on one bike and the RE on the other. The main thing I could tell was one was much more stable and even turned better. I will say the 23.5 contributed to removing some pressure off the front end possibly because the harsh feel in the hands got better. I am not sure what clamp is better but 23.5 is certainly the way to go.

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback. I have heard a few times that the ride engineering clamps are a bit more rigid than others. Is this something you noticed?

Yeah I have heard the same thing aswell, I'm just hesitant to pull the trigger as I have wasted alot of money in the past on parts that make little or no difference ha ha.

I have a 23 350sxf and absolutely love the bike. I have about 30hrs on it, it has kyb forks, factory edition triple clamps and I feel like I have it pretty dialled. I'm being very nit picky but I feel like i get a slight twitch or nervousness from the front at times, very minor but. I'm wondering who...

I would also recommend the new-gen 350. I've had a 2016, 2019, 2022, and 2023 FC 350 and while I've loved them all, the 2023 is the biggest step forward they've made. It's not mandatory to rev the thing to the moon anymore, the bottom end power is markedly improved and you can lug the bike like a 450 now without the fatigue of the extra rotating mass that others have mentioned, or you can still ring the thing out. They really found the sweet spot. In that same time I had a 2021 KX450 and I just did not...

Best 450 I've ever owned. 4.1 slip on, 13-51 final gearing, and stock map. It's stable, turns good, and I can do longer Motos with out getting too tired! Perfect bike for 50+ Vet rider north of 230 pounds. I've ridden the new YZ 450 it's a beast! No thank you.
