  • For 2022, KTM’s four-stroke enduro models only get modest upgrades to tyres, gearing and graphics. But, as we discover after testing all four four-strokes with enduro icon Geoff Ballard, the new bikes’ “firmer and sportier” suspension settings actually create a significant improvement in chassis balance and handling compared with their predecessors. And when you ride the 250, 350, 450 and 500EXC-F back-to-back, you’re also reminded that - beyond the obvious power differentials - these 2022 machines each have very distinctive personalities.
    But which of the four is most likely to suit you, and why? Join us as we check in with Geoff Ballard for a yarn about the comparative pros and cons of each of these 2022 enduro weapons from KTM...

    1:09 is why I put a stiffer progressive shock on... Bottoming out like that onsuch a small jump is a NO-GO for me.

    Do they really need more expensive and more frequent servicing than say a WR or. CRF ? I’m curious

      No . The manual calls for every 600 km on my 21 500 . I’ve gone 1400k and the oil comes out looking new . Only holds 1.5 litres and a 2 bolt cover for the oil filter and your on your way

    I have a 2010 450 CE exc and with that said I'm a fan of black fuel tanked ktms .
    That clear tank stood out like dog balls in custard and that's if I had to fault any of those 22 models.
    The graphics looked trick and I'd still own one if it's tank had come out with a rainbow flower pattern all over it.
    Thanks for the vid and indeed we have a beautiful state up here. Cheers

    I am riding a 2021 exc 250f and it’s a really good bike, it has enough power for most of the riders and it‘s really lightweight. But to be honest, the suspension is really crap in the fast stuff (not only on 250)

    From which country are you ? In America we don't get the same spec (we have blinkers and license plate because these are dual sport bikes).

    Just traded my 2021 300XC-W for a new 2022 300XC-W, I liked the 2021 forks much better. The 2022 forks feel harsh and the bike feels less planted with poor front to rear balance. KTM/WP screwed the pooch once again!

    Nice reveiw.
    16k and dosnt come with a skid plate, and suspension that is still below par with other manufacturers. I think we really need to look at the 2022 Yamaha's Transmoto.

      I just bought a 22 500 and thought the same thing. No bash plate but then I thought, well nobody leaves the stock piece of crap on there anyway. So I don't really care, just saves time un-bolting the stock one to put a good one on.
