FC350 Xtrig or Luxon?
Xtrig makes good parts of high quality, but they're heavy. If weight is an issue, you'll be about a full pound lighter with our clamps.
The general consensus from those who try both is that they like ours better. For example, the Club MX team has been on Xtrig for some time, but they're switching to our clamps for 2022.
We just got done testing with MXA yesterday on both KTM and GasGas bikes. Three test riders went back to back to back with our clamps, stock clamps, and another aftermarket clamp (not Xtrig, though), on both bikes, and ours were the clear winner. You'll have to wait a while until the writeup comes out, though, but I think they'll be releasing a preview video on their social media this week.
If you have any questions, feel free to shoot me an email!

Quality parts that look bitchen

my email is tscham101@gmail.com..Whats availability look like? Im super interested. and im going to buy new clamps soon.
got any in stock (clear)? im semi local and may be able to pick up.
i'm impressed with Luxon. On their handlebar clamps i believe they include titanium fasteners. Just a nice little detail to keep the weight down. It won't make a huge difference but addressing the weight issue is never a bad thing.
Personally we tested both the x-trig and the KTM power parts clamps on our 2022 250 sxf, and our pro rider chose the x- trig by a small margin, But preferred the power parts clamp when we only tightened the bottom clamp bolts to 10 NM as opposed to the stock setting of 12nm.
I should note that we used a WP pro fork and not the stock AER48.
We did not try the Luxon clamp.
One thing for sure is the stock clamp is too rigid and transmits a fair amount of vibration, and is not adjustable.
this is what im trying to get rid of.. and twisting bars in the stock mounts.. but mainly to look cool.. when i was a kid i never had any money for parts.. i had barely enough to do maintenance.. so mainly to see what all the trick shit does in terms of feel, if im being honest..
The stock bar mount however is quite soft and will bend if you even look at it wrong. I guess KTMs theory is the bar mount is supposed to be the part that absorbs the crash impact rather than the bars and clamp so not to cause damage to expensive parts.
Also we have a lot of success with vibration reduction using the Faastco anti vibration bar inserts.
On top of that, they are very high quality, so, you get what you pay for.

KTM front end-0
MXA are claiming a similar result with the clamps on the GasGas.
A lot of hard riding on the limit required to get that sensitive.
Takes me half a lap to realise I have a flat tire….. almost.

I'm a YUGE fan of the BRP top clamp with the 4 post rubber mount for the bar clamp.
Our other clamps will accept any KTM bar mount that uses two separate mounts (not bridged) as they all have different spreads between the posts. So, for example, Xtrig PHDS mounts for a KTM will fit all of our triple clamps, regardless of which bike they fit, Honda, Yamaha, whatever, as the PHDS mounts are separate and not bridged.
To further clarify, the spread between posts on a KTM clamp is 90mm. But the spread between posts on a Yamaha is 103mm (and all the other brands are different too). So you can't use a KTM bar mount that has both posts connected on our Yamaha clamps, because the spread would be wrong (90 when it needs to be 103 to fit our Yamaha clamps).
Hopefully all that makes sense!
And of course, we offer our own mounts to fit our clamps in both standard 1 1/8" and Fatbar36 (36 mm) sizes.
Kinda looks like a not as good take on RG3’s 🤷🏻♂️
I realize this is an old thread but have a question about the handlebar mounts. Is the closest bar position (closest to the gas cap) any closer than the stock 2023 KTM SX-F clamp? I am short and would like to bring bar back to me a little more than the stock clamp offers.
If you're asking about our clamps, the bar position is the same as stock on our Gen2 KTM clamps. But our new Gen3 clamps have multiple positions (6 front to back and 4 heights for 24 total positions), so that would take care of you. We're wrapping up the machining now, so available soon!

Ahh…so I COULD go to a “closer than stock” position on the Gen 3 clamp. That is what I am looking for.
Thank You
Are you a pro rider looking for that 10th of a second? If the answer is no, stick to the stock clamps. Ktm ain't no mugs.
