    Hey Man. Great vid.
    Some advice from a 300 rider. Learn to slip the clutch. Don't dump it. Dumping it breaks traction and then you spin. That 300 has more that enough torque, you don't have to ride it on the top end. 300 likes lugging and bottom end tprque.
    Good riding though😊

  • @onthethrottle7104
    @onthethrottle7104 4 місяці тому +12

    Kincade, you consistently have the bike in too low of a gear up the tough stuff. We always get nervous and want to use that first gear, then crank the throttle...but the new XCW loves 2nd or even 3rd gear for ultimate traction. The trick is to keep the rear from spinning. Even if you look at the Varg, he kept the rear wheel from spinning or barely spinning. Once you get that orientation down you will love the feel of it and be amazed where you can go.

    • @2Wheels4theW
      @2Wheels4theW 3 місяці тому

      Agreed. It’s as if these guys are convinced shooting rocks out the back at their buddies’ faces at full Rev in 1st gear is the key to climbing up loose rocks.
      Doesn’t accomplish much. And is a quick way to destroy an otherwise nice trail.

    Great video!!! That StarVarg is insane. To me, the main reason is so easy on the Varg is its transmission less design, no clutch play needed, no modulation, easy constant power to the rear wheel. Im saying all this to say, imagine adding a rekluse to your 300, it will behave closer to a Varg. This will be a great video to consider, KTM 300/rekluse vs Star Varg!!!

    Honestly, if that was your first ride on the new wheels... well, I can say that I had EXACTLY the same thing happen to me on a brand new 2020 300 XCW and I picked a 24 TE300 recently and checked the spokes before my even turning a wheel on thing and nearly half of them were loose. I could turn a couple of them by hand on each wheel.

Also, just wanna say its awesome that you read your comments and respond to your fans. Your cr250 build video is what sparked my interest in mx and ever since then I've been impatiently waiting till I can get my license. I've never actually ridden a motorbike, because the UK has very few mx tracks and very strict laws on where you can ride off-road. But I still watch every video you release, and I just wanna thank you for being my intro to the sport, as it has given me something new to fixate on and bore all my friends to death by going on about non-stop!
