  • @finrampe

    I think you should review tpi 150 (with tsp head & map). I consider it as a perfect tool for beginner in extreme - way better than 250 at least but I haven't gone into 300 yet.. I would also love to hear your thoughts about 350 4-stroke used in hard enduro. You can choose the color from ktm, husky or gas gas

    You should try the RG3 Suspension revalve - it handles the little stuff while not blowing thru on the bigger stuff. I was 17 seconds faster on a 3 minute loop using the revised suspension.
    Not so much hard enduro - but I’m sure you would benefit as well.

    Luv your review videos, please keep them coming !! interesting comment you made about gearing, I have a 20 300 ecw, I tried 13/52 and found I got more wheel spin with it so I went back to 13/50, much prefer 2nd and 3rd gear with that setting, even 1st gear is better, less snappy, I'm a muppet rider so maybe that's why? :-(

    • @mas4133
      @mas4133 3 роки тому

      Although 13/50 might have been OEM on many wide ratio KTMs owned, I've gravitated to 14/52 to keep ratios similar yet ease wear on CS sprockets and chains! IMHO :-(

    • @vasilisdedes5100
      @vasilisdedes5100 3 роки тому

      Rieju got the rights to produce the original Gas Gas EC 300 and also supply the spare parts for the existing models. MR 300 is a carburated engine, avoiding so the complexity of TPI system. It has top guality components (KYB, Nissin, Magura etc) and a lot of usable power. I posses the 2019 Gas Gas EC 300 and I'm totally pleased by the bike. I have more than 220 hrs of soft and hard enduro in stock form, without a single issue!
