This is my GF's bike I got to test, what model TBI do you think I should get? I cant decide

I want you to get an XC but for what you ride, the xcw is the way to go. Better stator for fan and lights, no linkage to destroy or get hung up when you’re smashing into rocks and smoother power. I’d say a remap and maybe a head and you’re dialed!

I tried a Husqvarna TE300 TBI -- which should run like the EXC/XC-W models -- yesterday and it's mapped waaaaaay too soft in my opinion. If we got the XC models here in Europe I'd probably be looking at that, but for now we only get the EXC and SX for two strokes.

@@TrailBoundco Yeah I’m guessing it’s about environmental regulations. We seem to get a few 125 XC, but that’s about it. What’s your opinion on the feeling of the weight on this bike? I find that my bike, a -19 TPI, could drop a few kilos. And the generation after that one feels spot on to me. The TBI generation almost feels too light to me. 😬 Perhaps a heavier fly wheel and mouses would fix that.

Seems like the TE would be the best choice - I prefer the linkage myself, it sits a bit lower (tho the PDS keeps improving each year). Maybe throw on a med-comp head if you want more snap off the bottom.

I rode one yesterday with the sag not set as well and I also found it tall. I think once the sag is set it will feel a lot better in terms of ride height, I'm the same weight as you.

I bought the 24 TE300pro and have ridden the 24TX300 and found the tx to be too jumpy on slippery turns where is the te is smoother and easier to maintain traction. The TX is significantly louder so dont let the quiet TE/XCW exhaust fool you with where the bike is with the RPM and power curve. You do have to twist the throttle more if you want to apply more power. It is like the first half of the throttle is really dumbed down, but over half really jumps to life just fine. The TE/XCW pulls really well and controlled at really low rpm without spinning out much.

New models are great. Get the HUSQ TE300 2024. Stock, it's lower than the KTM bike (almost 2cm) so it's better for shorter riders. You can also add low seat on it. IMO, husky looks better. Wish I could ride where you are riding, crazy cool trails! Greetings from Norway ✊🏻 Enjoy!

My last 2T was a 17 XCW 300 and I did do the SX300 head and cdi. Kept the head and went back to stock cdi as it started better and ran really nice down low. Will probably do the same to my TE300pro, just bump up compression a little.

The whole throttle thing is weird. When I ride my friends fuel injected KTM’s, they’re all the same with that soft initial pickup. Not crispy. No chance of whisky throttling it like my Beta 300 RR carby bike. I will agree that the suspension is amazing! Rear just soaks up everything! It’s like friggin magic!

From the KTM website it looks like the seat height on the xcw is approx 10 mm taller than the xc. I think you’re supposed to setup the PDS with 10 mm more sag though (110 mm on the xcw as opposed to 100 mm on the xc). So the seat height difference should more or less cancel out once you set rider sag shouldn’t it?
