UPDATE: I just returned from Revelstoke BC and I can confirm this bike is an absolute woods weapon, I tackled one of the most challenging double black diamonds that served up a lot of rock features, step ups and challenges tight steep hill climbs and the FX350 really shined. I also tried the 2022 TE300 and it confirmed to me that I picked the best bike for me. Its a lot easier to ride, most stable and the power is much easier to handle especially in challenging spots where your worried you may loop out and with the FX350 I wasn't overly worried, the 2022 TE300 build the power much faster. If I was on a MX track I definitely would pick the TE or TX. I also had an opportunity to spin some laps on a very challenging motocross track in Revelstoke and it did amazing. Here’s the video ua-cam.com/video/vWMbAM27oDk/v-deo.html
Thanks for the video. I am currently waiting on the 2023 FX 350 and I wanted some videos to see how it rides. I watched the 2023 shoot out on different bikes and the Husqvarna one the shoot out. I do a lot of woods riding in Idaho single-track stuff. I have a Kawasaki 250 now and it’s great but it’s a 2004. And I’m ready for something that well be buttery and rip. So thank you for the video
I bought my '17 KTM 350 exc-f new and never looked back. Such a fun bike to ride! I have no desire to get a new bike even though all my buddies are getting 300 2 strokes.
Great minds, I was extremely close to the 2022 300 and if I were to get a second bike I might even consider it. I tested both 2022s and the FX350 was the clear winner for me. The 300 movement is strong but much of that is ego and marketing.
Awesome video! I’m currently on a 300 xcw tpi and I’m thinking of potentially trying a 350 xcf or FX350 for next year. I ride a mix of flow and technical singletrack. I’ve heard a few issues with flamingout with these bikes, and to probably add a 13T front sprocket, flywheel weight, and fan. I ride in the Rocky Mountains in BC and AB Canada! I'm curious what your thoughts are on all of this! What kind of setup do you have etc. Thank you
Hello GC, nice bike? What year do you currently have? In terms of the type of riding you do, what % is single track vs flow? Many of the issues in the FX350 are less present in the newer models. Like you mentioned you'll hear a lot of FX350 owners from previous years comment that they have upgrades the gearing, added a fly weight to lessen the flame outs or in many cases just a stall. The newer 2019-2022 has improved on this but I will say that when you talk about lugging and chugging at very very low RPM on steep single track you'll need to be more vigilant as compared to the HUSKY TE300 which is suited more specifically for low RPM lugs & chugs up steep Single Track. The flywheel is much larger on the 2 strokes and this is because it's intended for this type of riding. Don't get me wrong, if your not lazy or sloppy like me on the clutch or don't get tired fast and your clutch management/understanding is on point then riding the 2021/22 FX350 on steep and tight single is no problem and a lot of fun. The reason I selected the FX350 is because I prefer how the 4 stroke builds power linearly without the big hit of the 2 stroke and because of how planted it feels and it light weight. On the flow this bike is a dream where as the TE300 is a little less planted. Some with say the TE300 is more lively, other describe it as planted, grounded vs nimble and lively. Potatoes, Tomatoes. With bikes models, sometimes you solve one problem but you create another. Point incase 2 stroke vs 4 stroke debate. Also, keep in mind its a bit of a mind set adjustment when riding the 2021/22 FX350. Getting on the throttle a little sooner and maintaining RPM's is going to be your friends and helps the cause so I would say without any mods it can be managed with this. Compared to the 2 stoke riding style there is a lot of throttle blipping where as the FX350 is managed differently. Personally much of my riding is very low RPM, technical, lumpy, rooty, sandy and wet steep BC riding so I decided to go all in and ADD the REKLUSE Radius CX and move on. Is it a must to get rid of the stalls, NO. Can you ride single track without it and be happy with a gear change and clutch management, absolutely. Like most things in life, its all relative and personal choices. I didn't want to mess about with trying a mod and chancing it not working so I just decided to take the big $$ hit and go all in and move on to having the biggest run on fun possible. Hope that helps and thanks for watching the video!
Welcome to the madness, congratulations great decision! Lol at 406 it doesn’t look like a big deal but that hill climb went on for miles, the hill was off camber with thick sand that required full on commitment and I couldn’t believe how much better this bike handled it compared to my FE501. I had climbed this same hill with the fe501 and the Fx350 made it easy in comparison.
Really enjoyed your video I went today and traded my 2016 te 300 and got the 2022 FX350 haven't ride it yet it raining and cold here in TN but hope to get it out and ride it some here b4 long
Great trade up! Welcome to the dark side! Your 2 stroke buddies won’t understand your logic. Lol Did you notice that your 2022 Fx350 exhaust is barky, louder than most stock pipes? That’s the first thing I noticed. Can’t see why I would change, it sounds just right. Braaaap. Thanks for watching and awesome that you enjoyed the video!
@@WADZUP oh I love the sound as well im 60 years old but still do harescrambles can't wait to get behind someone and twist that throttle they will definitely here me
@@lyndonewright330 Nice work!!! The FX350 is inspiring the ride, you’ll love the 2nd 3rd responsiveness that’s on tap. Blip the throttle and not problem floating the front end over obstacles, even without the clutch. The hill climb in the video really proved to me that this bike is pure fire 🔥 and designed well. Believe I rode the 501 for years so I’m no stranger to power and torque but the FX350 is a treat to ride and a perfect balance of power and weight.
2019 FX 350 here. Ride single track west of Denver. Tight, fast and flowy! Love this bike and just dropped the front sprocket down to a 13t. Big improvement and I feel like I can use a lot more of the bike. Absolutely rips
Love Colorado. If I didn’t live in BC my second choice would be Colorado. Great skiing, people, and of course the riding. 13T eh I purchase the 52 rear which is up one but worried it’s going to make 1st unusable so I’ve been holding of on the change until I get more hours on the bike. This week I’m loosing all the stock plastics and graphics and doing a totally new look, should be fun! Thanks for stopping by and watching cheers from BC Canada 🇨🇦
John I am thinking of switiching fro my 300 xcw tpi to a fx350 or 350xcf. I ride mostly single track flow and single track technical. Curious what other mods beside the 13T youhave done? I've heard a lot of issues in regards to flamingout? but I've also have heard 21 models have those issues fixed?
@@germancontreras4448 the so called flame out issues were solved model year 19 so it isnt a concern anymore. These bikes are geared tall to go fast so they will naturally require more clutch work in the tight and technical stuff. Dropping to a 13t front sprocket after a year of riding made the bike a lot more torquey and more manageable when crawling along at slow speeds. If I stall now, its user error and that happens maybe once every ride. I havent done any other mods besides a spark arrestor, and these bikes are ready to go out of the box. I think youll like the 350s! Enjoy
@@Lostonabike sorry I missed this comment. Wow the 300 guys will be upset lol I find the 300 gang very one sided with there views of the 4 stroke, until they ride the FX350 that is! Lol Have you picked her up yet?
hi from australia, i have a exc 300 for my tight and tech riding and was looking at getting a 500/501 for the all day longer enduro type rides when i came across your clip on the fx 350. ive read all the stats. one of the things that caught my attention was that on paper the 501 has 45 hp and the fx 350 has 58 hp, that surprised me. just wondering what your real world differences are between the 501 and your new fx 350. cheers dale
Not sure if you’ve watched my latest FE501 review but much of my real world differences are discussed their. I will say that the FX350 is a pure beast but feels worlds apart in terms of weight and agility. Power wise they are similar, the difference being 501 has more torque but I didn’t find the additional torque useful unless I would have been doing the Dakar or Baja 5000 and hauling ass at 60 mph in the sand and I needed to float the front end.
@@AcadianHoons It really depends on your riding style the type of riding u like to do. Some may think that the first gear is too low and not useable but I think I’m OK with it, my suggestion is try the bike out and then go from there.
My friend has the 2020 fx350. He loves it. I almost bought one as well. Holding off another season on my 18’ gg300 and probably getting a 350. Still up in the air with the air forks though. Been on kyb suspension for over a decade and they’re perfect right off the floor. What’s your experience with the new suspension ?
They exceed my expectations. I was planning to upgrade before I rode it as that’s what I did on my Fe501 but I like it so much I don’t want to mess with a good thing. The FX for 2022 really is next level. The other surprise albeit small is how barky the exhaust sounds I actually love it. I was planning on upgrading but again I don’t need any more anything!
21 TE250i and 22 FX450 Windrock TN pro-vet rider. Absolutely love the brembo for the feel vs megura smoothness. Suspension on the FX is second to none. I wouldn't waste any money on Suspension other than for rider weight. FX is a damn woods weapon. 23 I'll probably snag a FX350 to retire the TE250i
Awesome horses to have In the stable and I couldn’t agree more on the suspension, in fact I’d be terrified I’d spend money In an attempt to make it better and end up screwing things up and making it worse
@@WADZUP here in the states theres one company called Kreft out of Utah. It's plan b just before going to a cone valve setup without breaking the bank. I've been able to just change springs on the TE250i. The FX450 needs absolutely nothing for a woods weapon but maybe a fan kit for the slow technical stuff. Wouldn't even recommend a flywheel weight or reckcluse they lug down low so good.
@@Hanibul_Lecktor I’ve heard great things about Kreft. The pipe on the FX350 sounds barky and perfect which is absolutely surprising to me, again another area that doesn’t need attention lol
After riding both I would say that if I had done that hill climb like in the video again but done it on the 200 RR first of all would’ve been very busy changing gears, whereas on the FX 350 the bike had really strong torque on a very difficult climb the 200 RR just doesn’t have the torque the 350 is a true beast but lightweight and Nimble.
Cheers, took me a while to arrive but I think so. If I could have multiple bike I may have kept good old barks 501 for street rides and Adventures but I had to make a tough decision. Thanks for watching
@@johnquinn6764 Tell me about the kind of riding you do mostly and what kind of rider are you in terms of experience and what you were looking for from a bike. Are you intending to do much track time do you do mostly single track or wide-open riding both the spikes can do all of this it’s just nice to know what kind of tool you’re looking for and what’s important to you and where we will be riding because all of these things as you can imagine came in to mind when I made this decision because ultimately it came down to the exact same to dirt bikes for me
@@WADZUP I want the bike for motocross and trial riding , I know this bike will do both . I have a ktm 250 sx at the moment but it won’t be much good on the trails as I need a larger fuel tank and it will be too snappy. I’ve been doing mx for 18 years but fancy something different. I like the tx 300 husky as well but don’t know what that will be like on a mx track .
@@johnquinn6764 great intel. I’ve ridden on the FX 350 on an MX track it does really well but I have no intention of riding very often on an MX track but if I did I would prefer the explosive power of the TX 300 Also, given that you have so much riding experience you’ll probably enjoy the power delivery of the two-stroke versus the fourth stroke unless you’re going to do a majority of very technical single track and want a bike that builds power more gradually and has less of a hit. I’ve actually ridden both bikes on the same day, And that day was dedicated to single track, tight and steep with rock step ups and I was a little bit nervous on the TX 300 I will say. The FX 350 is much easier to ride mostly because of how it generates, produces and builds power slower. Both bikes feel nimble, Also one thing a lot of people don’t talk about is how planted and stable the FX 350 feels both at speed and during hill climbs. I’m not sure if that’s just due to how it generates power more of a linear fashion or also because of the Suspension but I felt the TX300 Was a little more nervous but at the same time slightly lighter feeling but definitely not by a huge margin and I’ll take stability and confidence and More linear power delivery for the type of riding I do every day of the week but again if I was in your shoes and I was ripping like a bat out of Hell on an MX track and occasionally doing trails and had 18 years of MX riding experience then the TX 300 would be pure joy.
Got a a brand new 22 gas gas ex350 which is the poorer little sister to the FX. Only have two rides on it so far. One on a grass track where it was the greatest thing ever created by man. Another ride and some really tight nasty Eastern woods was frustrating because of the stalling. I'm going to wait until I get 10 hours on it and then make a decision on whether to put a 13 tooth front sprocket on. I'm hoping with some more break in time the stalling will cure itself. In Georgia just south of Atlanta by the way...
@@Dashriprock4 Love the Gas Gas! Sweet bike! I hear ya in the stalls, I caved in a got the Rekluse but I do a lot of lugging and chugging in super technical and need all the help I can get.
@@WADZUP I try to ride on open GNCC type trails but sometimes we run into some tight twisty stuff. Being south of Atlanta I’ve actually never ridden on rocks in my entire life. Lots of sand mixed in with loam and tight pine forest. also have a mix of open hardwood forest. We just try to go to trails that apply to our strengths and to those of the bikes. And honestly that plowing through ultra tight Enduro trail for mile after mile is boring and tedious.
@@WADZUP i got tons of trails next to my house and every week i visit the track would you recommend changing the oil i have just reached 1.1 hours i’ve done 2 rides

@@johnquinn6764 great intel. I’ve ridden on the FX 350 on an MX track it does really well but I have no intention of riding very often on an MX track but if I did I would prefer the explosive power of the TX 300 Also, given that you have so much riding experience you’ll probably enjoy the power delivery of the two-stroke versus the fourth stroke unless you’re going to do a majority of very technical single track and want a bike that builds power more gradually and has less of a hit. I’ve actually ridden both bikes on the same day, And that day was dedicated to single track, tight and steep with rock step ups and I was a little bit nervous on the TX 300 I will say. The FX 350 is much easier to ride mostly because of how it generates, produces and builds power slower. Both bikes feel nimble, Also one thing a lot of people don’t talk about is how planted and stable the FX 350 feels both at speed and during hill climbs. I’m not sure if that’s just due to how it generates power more of a linear fashion or also because of the Suspension but I felt the TX300 Was a little more nervous but at the same time slightly lighter feeling but definitely not by a huge margin and I’ll take stability and confidence and More linear power delivery for the type of riding I do every day of the week but again if I was in your shoes and I was ripping like a bat out of Hell on an MX track and occasionally doing trails and had 18 years of MX riding experience then the TX 300 would be pure joy.
Trying to decide between a KLX300R and a FX350. Which do you think would be more forgiving offroad engine wise?
Define more forgiving off road engine wise?
@@WADZUP resistance to stall or flame out
@@Racer18crfKLX I recently installed the recluse, which of course eliminated flameout stalls.
If you own a FX350 let me know what year and how you like it and what kind of riding you do and where?
'18 FX350. St George Utah, so lots of mountain and desert riding. Mine has a tune, Rekluse, Seat Concepts, Acerbis light and handguards, FMF exhaust.
@@davidsteinhour5562 love it. Nice modz. Braaaap
Got a a brand new 22 gas gas ex350 which is the poorer little sister to the FX. Only have two rides on it so far. One on a grass track where it was the greatest thing ever created by man. Another ride and some really tight nasty Eastern woods was frustrating because of the stalling. I'm going to wait until I get 10 hours on it and then make a decision on whether to put a 13 tooth front sprocket on. I'm hoping with some more break in time the stalling will cure itself. In Georgia just south of Atlanta by the way...
@@Dashriprock4 Love the Gas Gas! Sweet bike! I hear ya in the stalls, I caved in a got the Rekluse but I do a lot of lugging and chugging in super technical and need all the help I can get.
@@WADZUP I try to ride on open GNCC type trails but sometimes we run into some tight twisty stuff. Being south of Atlanta I’ve actually never ridden on rocks in my entire life. Lots of sand mixed in with loam and tight pine forest. also have a mix of open hardwood forest. We just try to go to trails that apply to our strengths and to those of the bikes. And honestly that plowing through ultra tight Enduro trail for mile after mile is boring and tedious.
Would you be able to race one of these on a track?
HELL YA!
👍✌️
Cheers! Braaaap
just got mine it’s in the garage i’m riding it later today
No way! Let me know which map you prefer? Congratulations
@@WADZUP map 1 in trails and 2 when i want a little more of a kick bikes sweet! 🤟🏽
@@anthonyrobles6806 Cool, where do u ride mostly?
@@WADZUP i got tons of trails next to my house and every week i visit the track would you recommend changing the oil i have just reached 1.1 hours i’ve done 2 rides
@@anthonyrobles6806 Change at 4 hours.

@@BrianRoberts-xt1ip Awesome, how loud is the pipe on the 2025. Mine is surprisingly loud for a stock pipe.
49 hp on a 220lb bike... yes please!
Check out my last video with the FX 350, just posted in fact if you would like to see what she’s capable of
I allways ear that its a death sentence in BC for any offroad activities???
Well that’s an awfully dark thing to hear, I’ve lived, ridden here my whole life and thats the first I’ve heard of that.
