A generous friend is letting me borrow his Del Soggio forks and MX Tech National Shock! Stay tuned for another comparison!
Love your riding area ! Not too rocky in the flatlands. Your little single track loop looks super fun and fast. 😊
And the Gaerne boots, it is my only boot that l trust off road.
Great comparison , SP can do magic on the stockers. Helped me make a decision on if it's worth it for me. On another note, that's a nice piece of property you own there. Guess that's why there is no Spark Arrestor on your bike. I'm sure you're aware of all the fires and riding areas shut down this year because of the fires and a SPARK ARRESTOR is required everywhere except your back yard. Also, where is your OHV plate? There are rules here we all must obey.
Absolutely! Taking care of riding areas is important so we can continue to enjoy them! There are a ton of USFS approved spark arrestors that drop into your existing exhaust! OHV plate is kept on me at all times! Hope to see you out on the trail sometime 💪
@@56DannyF56 Good job man, didn't mean to bust your ba--s. Del soggio's are good but I like the kyb's just a hair better. BTW, they will cite you for not having the plate on the bike. I took the plate down to a print shop and had them make me a sticker the same size as the plate and put that on my fender. I refuse to mount that razor blade on my bike. Then just carry the registration with me.
it is all about feel, i would advise all riders to go with feel - not opinion, get weights correct and then test, adjust, test, adjust, test, adjust, THEN make internal changes and return to the same testing ground - stopwatch and feel/comfort will not lie.
I have a 24 350 XCF. I have the same set up (also in AZ).Had my stock stuff revalved by AEO and then ended up buying the cone valve and Trax shock so I can take it bike to bike (I get a new bike every year). The A kit stuff is just more stable at high speed and inspires you to push harder. The bottoming resistance on CV and Trax is unreal. Both are great…. But of course the A kit stuff is better.
Yeah being able to pull your A Kit off your old bike and put on the new bike makes the cost more reasonable over time! The 350 is such a good bike!
Well-done comparison
Thank you so much for the feedback. Next up is Del Soggio vs Cone Valve!
@@56DannyF56 I'll look forward to seeing that. I have a '17 300 XC, with the 1st generation of the air fork, and I hated the fork. I had it reworked and updated to 2018 specs, it was a little better but I still hated it, so I bought a used Ohlins fork and shock and got those redone for my weight, skill level and terrain, and like them fine. The shock is just a smidge better than the redone stock shock, but the fork is WAY better for me (riding trails and enduros in tight woods in the Southern US). But I'm always curious to know about other setups.
You should try the JBI leaf style mid valve for the cone valve!
I just got that from JB. Best suspension I’ve ever ridden.
Have you compared the Ohlins with the cone? I’d be Interested if you liked them better for your desert racing.
It has been awhile since I've looked into Ohlins or had anyone I know run them. 5-10 years ago a few guys I rode with were sponsored by Ohlins and did not speak highly of them. They may be better today but I haven't seen anyone out west run them in awhile. I'd like to try them to find out.
I do hear the BlackJack fork by MX Tech is amazing. You can get the inserts and drop them into the stock fork tubes. I have briefly ridden a 300XC with the inserts and they felt great.
Dal Soggio inserts are rumored to be even better (for enduro/rocks) but I have zero experience riding them.
@@56DannyF56 I recently bought a set and they are amazing however I don’t have your knowledge into it to compare them. My other bike has gold valves but set up for hard enduro and don’t hold the feel of stability like the Ohlins. Thanks for your response, and a great video.
Did you re set your sag for each fork? Since the cv had a shorter over All length
On my experience and testing I have found the same.. CV can be great but always felt it’s better if I’m racing and set for a specific terrain. But not a good trail ride fork or as versatile as a shim fork.
Stock is good. Way better revalve. But lacks that at speed confidence
My Cone Valves are the same length as the stock 24 KTM XC forks so I didn't have any issues with different length forks. Good point on checking the sag though. I'd like to see if there is a difference in rider sag between the two.
@@56DannyF56 Just curious - how is that possible? As Ive understood it the forks are longer on the new chassi...
KTM needs to just suck it up and put spring forks on OEM. Dump that crappy air fork
All the KTM/Husky off-road bikes from ‘24 on have a closed cartridge spring fork. Every bit as good as a KYB.
@@slidewide1999 wish the SXF models had it. Had to suck it up and buy the 6500 kit
