I’m coming off a 2017 kx250f that I love. The fork I even dealt with and thought it wasn’t terrible like everyone claims. So my initial thoughts on the 2020 KX250 are
THE GOOD
1. It flat out RIPS
2. Revs to the moon!
3. Forks and shock were noticeably much better within two minutes of ride time.
4. Awesome tires
5. It RIPS
6. Yes once again IT RIPS
7. It tracks straight as an arrow on acceleration bumps. Some of them were pretty big whooped out sections on a rough track and it still was straight and my confidence went up!
THE BAD
1. Lost a little bottom. Not a ton, but noticeable from my 17
2. Since they changed the piston to a high compression piston and the other engine changes they made, its harder to kick. I loved how easy my 17 was to kick.
CONCLUSION
I’m pumped on my purchase today!!!! This thing flys and is so fucking stable.
