- Introducing new Knox Enduro bike - 2023 Husqvarna FE350
In this video, while the bike is brand new and super clean, we take the opportunity to take a close look at the latest addition to our fleet of motorcycles, a Husqvarna FE 350. It joins a growing fleet of excellent quality motorcycles that allow us to put our products through their paces, practice and produce content for UA-cam and the like.
Following on from our GasGas EC350f review, we said it was the best enduro bike we'd ridden. We didn't buy a GasGas but ultimately did put our money where our mouth is and purchased the Husqvarna equivalent.
As its the premium KTM group enduro bike, it has some high end components and also has a few surprises instore as well.
Hope you found this helpful, please like comment and subscribe, we'll see you next time.
Thanks,
Aaron

I have one and it’s fantastic.
I just bought one myself, excited to see what you guys do with it, you always make great videos!
Thanks, enjoy your FE! Loving ours so far, its a fair weapon and absolute wheelie machine! Aaron KNOX
Steering lock built into the frame have always been around, especially at KTM. And the ajustable steering angle as well.
Got a leftover '22 Gas Gas 350 here in the States. Absolutely a joy to ride. Can't wait to see what you do with Husky.
Gasgas is incredible, what a machine. Husky is v similar, but i have been using the different power maps and traction control which have been really good so far. All the best, Aaron Knox
What a lovely bike!! Looking forward to seeing more content with it. 👌🏽
My 40 year old XL250S has a steering lock exactly the same.
So very nearly brought one but went the 701 route so it could do more road work &has much longer service intervals, but the 350nis a awesome bit of kit good choice
Agree 701 is fantastic, brilliant off road and if we werent doing much harder stuff now, would have been perfect to keep it. Aaron KNOX
I live 10 minutes from Appleyards, and have been tempted to look for another enduro bike recently… You’ve inspired me to head down, if only they were open today… 😂
Haha! We've actually just bought another one off them, the new TE300 Pro 2 stroke. Aaron KNOX
@@KnoxArmour awesome!! Would love to hear your thoughts on the difference, debating between 4 stroke and 2 stroke myself at the moment!
@Fishter1 we'll be featuring the new 300 very soon. But initially the new 2024 tbi model is the friendliest 300 2stroke ive ever ridden. Been a bit scared of 300 tpi's in the past, theyre so snappy and powerful, but this new one is super docile and much smoother, more like a super smooth and linear 4 stroke. Its easier to ride hard enduro on it too compared to the 350. Just the right tool for the job... but 1 major major issue is the new fuel tank on 2024 models, its terrible and has a major design flaw meaning you run out of fuel with about 1/4 on a tank left in it and only get about 45 miles... so until a recall is done, its definitely worth considering. Hope that helps, Aaron
9:30 Surely if you got into a tank slapper where the forks were oscillating far enough to hit the steering stops (however much they were extended) then it would be terminal.
Course you're right, not really sure why i said that, but its a cool feature anyway 😅
looking so much forward..8 days..and i have one.. wondering about the baggs that come from the 501, which you recommend. the skitplate bottom i need as well.
Nice!
What are the service intervals?
Too short... about 15 hours for each oil change. 35 hour valve check and then 135 hr for engine rebuild. Thanks, Aaron KNOX
ducati streetfighter v4 so 2 review
Did they get rid of the O2 sensor on the ehaust pipe?
please compare this to the fe501...please please
Hey Aaron or anyone who reads this comment and have an opinion on what I’m going to ask.
I’ve never done a track day or any type of enduro. I ride my motorcycle daily as commuting to work.
I really want to invest in doing more entertaining stuff on a motorcycle.
What do you think is cheaper and easier to start/invest?
A track bike or an enduro bike?
I do have a SV650S which I was planning to do some track days but the problem is track days are quite an investment.
Any inputs will be much appreciated.
Hi Sergio, great question! Best thing is that you are onto getting involved in some of the best things in motorcycling, enduro and track riding! I think if you have an SV650 already, it is pretty easy in reality to get booked onto a track day with the bike you have (assuming you have or could borrow a set of leathers) and just go and have a go! Track days are fairly cheap, £150ish per day and can be cheap thrills. Enduro riding, obviously, you need an enduro bike and know somewhere to go ride it. Like all sports, the more down the rabbit hole you go, the more expensive it can get... what started for us track riding on road bikes on road tyres was pretty cheap, but now its gotten more serious, proper race bikes, expensive tyres etc, but it doesnt have to be like that. Enduro riding is probably cheaper in the long run, bikes are more reasonable, pay and play days are fairly cheap and crash damage... well the bikes are designed to be crashed, so its not much of a consideration. Doesnt really answer your question I suppose, but why not have a go at both and then decide. You could do a track day on your SV650, and also have a go at an Enduro experience centre like Mick Extance or something! Hope that helps, Aaron KNOX
@@KnoxArmour that makes complete sense. I’ll go ahead and book my Bedford autodrome track day. Thank Aaron 🙏🏽.
so pretty much did you swap the 701 for the FE350? which one is better ,i am between this to machines, to be honest I like the FE better just for the way it looks and the light weight but do you think it is a good choose? i would use it 80% road , 20 off road . which one do you recommend me ? thanks , nice video
Chiming in here since I've owned the 701 and now the FE350. For 80% road, definitely get the 701. The maintenance and bad road manners will quickly get tiring. The FE350 is a competition enduro.
Agree with Johannes, if 80% road, the 701 is the king. It will tackle most stuff off road and is phenomenal trail riding bike and is great on road. FE 35o is much more focused for pure Enduro and hard off road terrain where you need a super light, super tough bike. Hope that helps, Aaron KNOX
@@JohannesDalenMC Hi , I saw your videos too , thanks for replying, when I mean 80 20 % that will be in a week probably 6 hours road and 2 hours per week as I won’t use it that much , just to commute to work 10 minutes round trip and maybe off road on weekends. So should I still get the 701 ? Thanks
Yep, 100% based on the information you’ve given. The 701 is a hilariously fun bike on the road as well, the 350 not at all.
hi, can you set Turkish support in subtitles?
Steering locks have been on old Japanese dirtbikes for years
Back in the 80s and 90s. Nothing new there
