@@John-wv2gb Thanks. The bike does most of the work. Nothing broke. I’m there are some scrapes on the levers and pegs. I was super surprised a lever diddnt snap. I bent the left side peg bracket. It’s not enough to need to be replaced.
great video, thanks! Are you happy with the E-X800? Trying to decide between that and the EXE880. I have shorter legs so leaning toward the E-X800. Where are you in AZ? I am in North East Mesa.
I really like the bike. If I can get the suspension right, I’d love it. I saw the EX880 in person and it’s the size of a full size dirt bike. I’d like to ride the 880 to get a solid feel for it. I’m off Val Vista and Baseline.
@@JeffXstrom47 The EX800 is the lead runner in the bike I order spring of 2025. I intend to order the TECH suspension. Waiting on some reviews of it, but I'm more than willing to pay for upgraded parts from the factory rather than immediately binning parts and paying a LOT for aftermarket replacements. Have you any insight or opinion on the optional TECH suspension like when it will be available and if it will be worth it? Thanks.
@@MrChadx1 I haven’t used tech but it’s common on trials bikes. I’m hoping tech has adjustability like stiffer springs and valving options. Trials suspension isn’t great at high speeds. The suspension should come stock with Tech at no additional charge in my opinion. $9500 gets you a badass ready to race KTM with amazing suspension. I think the freeride is under $10k and has plenty of power for trails. If the china bikes done come stock with amazing suspension, they’re gonna get left behind by KTM.
@@JeffXstrom47 I'd use the EX800 for slower trails, gnarly single track, etc. so soft/supple trials type suspension would be perfect. I have ICE bikes and ATVs for fast trail work and long rides. It amazes me that there are so few companies offering high end options on their midsize bikes. I don't want to be forced into a fullsize bike to get good suspension, wheels, battery range, etc. Too costly to buy and immediately upgrade suspension, battery and wheels like on a Surron Ultra. AL EX800 is the closest to what I want out of an electric dirtbike for my single track use case (slightly smaller than fullsize bike so it's lighter and easier to handle in gnarly/tight terrain, 21/18 wheelset, big battery for honest 40 (and even 50mile) range without running battery to zero every ride). Only unknown with EX800 is high end suspension rather than standard.
@@JeffXstrom47 FYI, KTM just released the specs on the all new electric Freeride. There are interesting choices as its is specced fairly different than anything else out there. First, it's street legal. It has a fullsize seat height (35+") and weight (250lbs) but only has a 5kWh battery and only 11kW output. Has a swappable battery. It's a strange combination but different than anything else out there so fits in a different notch than the mid-sized bikes and the fullsize bikes currently available. No announced price, but it will likely be quite expensive. If it had a 6kWh battery or more, it would be more interesting. Hopefully they will offer a couple different battery sizes. But at least the charger can now run on 120v and not only 240v like last KTM Freeride model. That was annoying. Ha.
One of these days, I would love to join you guys on your Bulldog ride(s). Looks like you are finding (and creating) some good trails :)
You’re more than welcome anytime.
Good riding Jeff, did you break anything in the crash?
