Will be interesting to see how these fare reliability wise compared to the TPI bikes. It seems like the TPIs are pretty long lasting but also can be finicky and hard to diagnose issues on. If/when you guys do a full review on the XCW/TE I’d be curious to see how the range/fuel economy compares to a TPI bike as well - seemed like the ‘23 XCs without oil injection were getting significantly less range.
You said that you have never ridden the Explor suspension on the previous 2018-2023 generation bikes. Without that baseline it is difficult to make informed judgements about the new gen XCW vs the previous model. While your comments are helpful, it would be much better to have the tester be an experienced XCW enduro rider.
We hope to get a long term test bike in the near future for this exact reason, but we do feel confident in the stock components and their potential/performance.
Geez really good quick review.
Glad you liked it!
Nice review, thanks.

now im curious if this bike will be ok on an MX track
It depends on your speed and the track. But there would obviously be better bikes for tracks.
You have to get the host a better microphone. He can barely be heard without turning the volume way up.

the best bike is xcf-w 350 but ktm sell only in Europe
This kind of sounds like the guys who say "the best hondas are the ones sold in japan! Gotta import one some day!"
