Smith246 Added a reply to What forks will be on the next ktm factory edition?
7/14/2026 4:15pm Yeah I have been hoping for a 350FE for a long time but sadly I don't think it will ever happen. I swap between 350's and 450's all the time and always seem to come back to 350's, with my 25 350sxf being my all time favourite bike. Not sure if I should hold out and get a 28 350...

Smith246 Added a reply to What forks will be on the next ktm factory edition?
7/14/2026 6:01am Yeah I'm sure I heard the same thing about the conevalves. From what I can figure the forks that come on the xc and I think the exc are basically 6500's without the external preload. There could be a few small differences but I think its very similar. It would make sense for ktm to go to this fork on...
Smith246 Started a new thread What forks will be on the next ktm factory edition?
7/14/2026 12:18am Just interested what everyone thinks or if anyone knows what forks will be on the next ktm factory edition? I personally don't think they will come with the xact pro forks again and think that was just a one off. My guess is maybe the spring fork that comes on the xc models but that is just a guess.

Smith246 Added a reply to Pirelli mid soft 2.0 reviews
6/22/2026 9:59pm Been using the rear for a little while now. For pure sand the dunlop mx14 is a better tyre but if you have any track that is soft but with a few harder spots or even an intermediate style dirt the Pirelli seems better. Basically Dunlop mx14 is best pure sand tyre the Pirelli is good in sand but a...

6/8/2026 5:04am How heavy are you? I had a 25 150sx and while it was a blast, at 95kg I was just too heavy for it. Got a 250sx and it's just as fun, actually probably more fun and easier to ride.

6/5/2026 4:40pm I'm sure the answer will be no, but I will be first in line if they do make a 350 factory edition ha ha

6/1/2026 6:32pm I'm a long time 350 lover but I rode a mates 25 WE on the wknd and really really liked it. If the 27 is a decent improvement from that then there may just be a red bike in my shed soon. Didn't love the blue rear when I first saw it but I must admit it doesn't look too...

5/22/2026 5:12am Yeah I agree. And i really don't think it would take them much development at all. Most bikes these days use the same or very similar chassis/suspension on there 250 and 450. They would just need to make a 350 engine based off there 250

The reasons are ridiculous in my opinion. At this point it’s more about them just being pig headed and not wanting to give in to the fact they were wrong. Just dumb

5/21/2026 7:04pm I've heard all the reasons why other manufacturers don't make a 350 but I still dont get it. If Yamaha or Honda made a 350 they would fly out the doors. I love my 25 350sxf but I'd still buy a Red or Blue 350 if they made one.

Can confirm, joined the 350 club this year. Other than having to un-learn my lazy ass cornering and lack of shifting I got used to in 20+ years of 450’s, I instantly had more fun. I also don’t feel like I went 10 rounds with Tyson in his prime after riding.

Smith246 Added a reply to KTM 2027 SX models
5/1/2026 4:14pm I was definitely expecting the orange frame aswell and that might have been enough for me to update but not now. I'll be keeping my 25 350sxf and 250sx. I'll be excited to see the 28 model 350sxf but I'm definitely concerned about what cost cutting measures Baja will take in the future.

4/14/2026 5:19am Yeah I agree, maybe I got a good one aswell but I really don't get the people who say the 250 tbi is mellow. I think the powerband is just more filled in than other 250 2 strokes so maybe makes it feel mellow. I had a 22 yz250 and my 25 250sx is every bit as strong as that...

4/13/2026 8:15pm I ride 99% moto but my 300sx actually made me enjoy a little bit of bush riding, I really believe that is where the 300 motor shines. On a moto track, 250 all day long.
