@@rockynandorf440 it looks like the Skydio 2 drone to me by the way it's flying (and maybe the beacon he pulls out too that I just noticed :P). Fully autonomous drone that follows you! Will be picking one up for myself soon!
I seems to me that the drone allows for a more dynamic view of the terrain being ridden as far as bumps, steepness of the hills, elevation and direction changes. Helmet cams definitely flatten the terrain and I think the drone fills in many of those gaps you can't see from a pov camera, although I'm sure it still doesn't do it justice compared to actually being there in person. Love the picture in picture views.
I really like the drone footage of the rides! Im sure it is a lot more work for you but it is so much better to see more of the area and just how the bike is handling from those shots. Great work!
Dangit man! That was some of the best bike video I've watched in a while! I am gonna have to watch that a few times! That is one smart drone! Really like the split screen and the synching the sound into the drone shots! Awesome dude!
What drone are you using? It looks like there are some for a decent price, but the battery looks like it lasts a decent amount of time on this one. Just wanted to be sure
I believe it is the Skydio 2 (my best guess on how the flying looks or maybe by the beacon he pulls out too that I just noticed :P). Throw it up and it follows you in different patterns. Great little drone for the sports/outdoors people!
I love this bike my favorite bike I had for desert and trail riding was a 2012 kx250f. I have a 2018 350 exc set up for desert but something about it I don’t like I really miss Japanese bikes, especially the stability and suspension of Kawasaki and Yamaha
Awesome drone footage! As a guy who mostly rode (2-stroke) KX 250s in my motocross career, this bike has a lot of appeal to me...I just like Kawasakis! I don't need a 450 or a 300 2-stroke for the sort of recreational riding I'm into now. Something like this or the Beta 200 really appeals.
The drone really gives a better feel for how the bike is responding to the actual terrain. POV shot is still good to make you feel like your there but the split screen views distract me a little. I would suggest trying one with only full screen switches between POV and drone. Either way this is cutting edge stuff and super cool.
As you were saying I believe the 200 150 and 125 were all the same cases different cranks and cylinders until the demise of the 200 because the new cases could only fit the 150 crank. Not sure if the 125 and 150 are still different cranks and cylinders. Would have been cool to swap pistons and cylinders for a big bore option.
That drone footage is sweet! I was thinking "I need to get me one of those", until I looked up the price of the Skydio II......jeez that's a pricey little toy! What in helmet communications are you using? I need to get something now that my boy is getting good enough on his 50 to do some mild trail riding.
Hey Kyle Great video Just some friendly advice Try getting you elbows a forward, not next to you but as far forward as possible, you will immediately feel the difference, it’s not the most comfortable but adds soo much control. And try using you throttle in a more smooth manner and control with the clutch. Don’t blimp blimp. Try it out, it will improve your speed and control. This is coming from someone who has been coached by roof of africa bronz and gold winner. All this is pro advice
When do we get to see this bike in some slower, more technical terrain? Fast, flowing singles are great and all, but I want to see this bike working harder...
As others had mentioned, the Ktm 200 was built on the 125 chassis and bottom end cases. In 2008 the Ktm 200 shared the 250 frame but kept the 125 bottom and cases. It even received Estart on its final year of production. That’s the unicorn of the Ktm 200s that’s folks chase. I’ve ridden the beta 200 and it’s a great option for the 200cc 2t lovers but with a slightly mellower motor than the Ktm. That’s not a bad thing for those who like traction over wheel spin. Cool video format this time.
Love the drone footage but maybe not constant? Maybe just throw some drone clips in through out here and there. I still like to see the classic shots you get as well
@@sethm.683 it's just outside La Verkin, UT. Off of the road that goes to Zion NP. You can see the trail on Google Earth when you zoom in. It's labeled as the Toquerville Twist. You'll find a ton of video of it on UA-cam. 37.2148125, -113.2412006 Zoom in on this location on google maps or Google Earth and you'll see the trail.
@@brianh8484 Yes! Its passion and performance first, the sound is part of the experience. Respectfully, soon enough they will have E bikes for your type.
You mentioned you wish you had a better way to control the drone manually. If you have the controller as well, that's the best way to fly it manually, although really, it's nothing to write home about with that controller. Any DJI camera drone drone will out fly it manually. What you are using for in this video is its wheelhouse, for sure.
I have the controller for this drone. When flying manually, this is the worst, least capable drone I've ever owned. I've owned like 5 DJI drones, and Autel drones as well. When it's flying with the beacon, like this video, it can do things NO OTHER drone can do. Pretty cool, but it can't replace my other drones for other jobs.
@@DirtBikeChannel Agreed! Really, following the beacon is it's best scenario; during the day, of course, but that's another kettle of fish! The next step, although it literally takes you out of the picture, is FPV, if you want next level cinematic shots.
OMG those views 😍
#1That is a beautiful place to ride!
#2 I think KTM made a mistake by not making the 200 anymore.
#3 The drone footage is off the hook good!
Damn that drone gets some awesome shots
Whooo steearing the drone

Great footage! Sure would love to hear your thoughts on how the KX compares to the 250FX.
The GoPro footage following you is SICK !!! Keep it up !
That’s sick! I love the twister! The drone footage is really sick! I like it :)
Great footage. Both views were so good I did not know which one to watch.
Love the drone footage! Gives a much better view of the terrain. I have a hard time focusing on both views at the same time though.
Hey Kyle, not sure how everyone else feels, but I don’t like the Picture in Picture. Should have sections of each.
I think maybe trying the reverse where the drone shot is the main image and riding is picture-in-picture.
I have it both ways here in this video. Trying new stuff.
@@DirtBikeChannel keep it it's great!!
@@DirtBikeChannel Awesome shots Kyle!!!
I like it but I prefer the small picture to be the helmet cam.
Wow!! That would be an absolute Dream to ride out there. Great videos as always, my son just bought the new 2021 KX250 XC and loves it.
What communications are you using? Love the drone video, what drone is that? Thanks Kyle.
Spectacular footage bike sounds awesome 👍👍
great video, amazing place to ride, what drone are you using, are you happy with it?
Best videos on the tube by far!
Review a Hinson momentum clutch basket in that 250x!
No cap
the best automatic drone video on UA-cam! 👍👍👍👏👏👏
Thanks for the amazing video
Dangit man! That was some of the best bike video I've watched in a while! I am gonna have to watch that a few times! That is one smart drone! Really like the split screen and the synching the sound into the drone shots! Awesome dude!
And oh yeah, that Kawi rips pretty awesome!
I love the new drone ......really like being able to see your riding position
Love the new drone footage! Killer video
Really looking forward to the full review of both of these bikes.
Great riding vid.what drone is that?
Love the drone footage! Super cool for desert stuff!
Very cool video very cool Drone footage and oh yes very cool bikes KX 250XC KTMxc125 love it!!!
👍👍😎
awesome trail... Where is it?
Also, cool drone footage.
Nice POV on great playground, thnx
Drone footage is awesome! I need to get what you have!
Man, that Kawi... oh yeah the desert's unbelievable and the footage is spectacular too...
What drone are you using? It looks like there are some for a decent price, but the battery looks like it lasts a decent amount of time on this one. Just wanted to be sure
You got a nice place to ride, the landscape is so beautiful. Im from a tropical country in asia viewing your videos. Keep safe always
What do you guys use to talk to each other while riding?
Awesome footage mate👍👍
That is a cool video from a drone following you!!! I like that drone view better than on your helmet most of the time!
I need to upgrade my husky!😆 have been loving the kawi vids so cool to see them jump
into the game
I love my Pennsylvania single track but mannnnnnn those views and trail!!!😍
Hey Kyle, what kind of drone?
Love the drone footage!
Great footage !
I love the kx
That drone is awesome the way it records it.
Superb footage.
Great video!
Can we get a Hard Enduro vid with the drone ?
What do you use to talk to the other person ?
What drone are you using?
Does that drone have obstacle avoidance? Looks like it got pretty close to some bushes a few times.
That was pretty dang sweet!
Thinking the 2021 TM 300en two stroke might be the next big 2-stroke for you to test!?
This is some of the best footage I have seen! What drone are you using?!
I believe it is the Skydio 2 (my best guess on how the flying looks or maybe by the beacon he pulls out too that I just noticed :P). Throw it up and it follows you in different patterns. Great little drone for the sports/outdoors people!
That was a lot of great footage. You said it on that...
Love the drone pov.
I like the duel view!
looks like the good old twister
What Drone is that?
Maybe I haven’t seen it in comments but have you mentioned how you like or dislike the juice clutch compared to that of all the KTM’s you ride?
I love this bike my favorite bike I had for desert and trail riding was a 2012 kx250f. I have a 2018 350 exc set up for desert but something about it I don’t like I really miss Japanese bikes, especially the stability and suspension of Kawasaki and Yamaha
I wonder what it would take to get some dirt bike channel gloves?
the drone.. is it 4stroke or 2stroke? 😍😍
That was badass

Gosh I love when you do these riding vids, wonderful scenery.
Where are these trails ?? I recommend to share the locations so other riders can have the experience !!! thanks for the great video KX250 !!!!
What a vid I just brought the 2021 kx 250x and last year I brought the 2020 Ktm 125exc 👍
Where is this riding area?
Cool clip.
Toquerville falls?

Amazing shots! And unbelievably beautiful scenery. Is this somewhere in Utah?

You're correct on the old 125,150,200....same cases, different cranks and cylinders. The newer 125, 150 is just bore size.

Nice!
Some great footage. Of course the helmet cam gives a better perspective as far as difficulty, speed, incline, etc. but was cool to see overhead shots
How often do you see snakes out there?
Whats that drone you are using? It does a god damn great job at auto follow.
Skydio 2.

The earlier ones with the 125 chassis were lighter.
I see you got the Skydio 2 going - awesome drone!
Been using is since Summer of 2020. It's sprinkled in here and there over the last 6 months.
@@DirtBikeChannel - is it auto following, or being controlled?
Cool vid but i still prefer a 450 because i love the power and the deep grunt

The views!
Trail name? Obviously southern Utah but can’t tell what trail it is.
Toquerville twist.
One of my favorite local trails
Where is this trail?
Too bad it's been beat to piss. Literally in my back yard.

@@OldManEnduro Thanks man! Much appreciated! Are there any other trails you would recommend relatively close by this one?
125 and 200 used the same engine case just a different head I'm pretty sure
If only it were 2 stroke! Bring them back kawasaki please!
I smell Skydio R2
KDX300
The thing I've always hated about the 250 four strokes is they make so much damn noise without going anywhere fast.
Agree 100%. Any 250f I've ridden ( 250fx and 250xcf most recently) has been boring and obnoxiously loud. They're not slow. Just boring.
@@brianh8484 They need to ridden on the rev limiter, wakes them right up. Kyle is not riding this bike on the RL.

Please stop with these Japanese bikes. They are all motocross bikes!
It's based on the motocross version but the gearing, suspension and fuel mapping is engineered for trail.
@@smy5607 OMG
It's better than nothing from the Japanese...
