Warning: this is now a very old vid with horrible resolution 🤣 Thinking of buying a KTM Freeride 350? Two riders put the Freeride through its paces to see what KTM has come up with in this trials/trail hybrid. The Freeride 350 is a lot cheaper than the KTM 350EXC but will it suit dirt riders? This is a very old video now from back when we were just filming our dirt rides - eventually we created a separate enduro channel and this became our adventure riding channel! ︱


Please note these two KTM Freeride 350 riders have very little in the way of rider skills, and pretty much no idea what they are talking about with test rides and reviews. You have been warned... But there are times when free riding I wish my trials bike wasn't so specialized. In back, a link-less WP PDS shock. The KTM Freeride controls and brakes are supplied by Formula and Braking, while Maxxis Trialmaxx tires are used front and rear. The torquey powerplant is a carbureted 250cc two-stroke single based loosely on a KTM 250 XC motor. It has electric start only, and there's no power valve. In addition to being quieter, the KTM Freeride exhaust is smaller and tucked away better. Having a seat, for starters, would be nice. It has a smaller carburetor, lower compression, and less horsepower than the 250 XC motor, but it makes great torque and will chug lower than any enduro bike without stalling. This new Freeride bridges the gap between a full-size enduro and a trials bike. It has a relatively low seat height of 36 inches and a claimed dry weight of only 204 pounds, which helps make it a great playbike. Most riders will find that the compact size inspires confidence in difficult terrain. I also race AMA EnduroCross and often wish my racebike had some more trials-like characteristics for the rough stuff. We score a decent test ride of both the KTM Freeride 350 and the KTM Freeride 250R in the perfect terrain - creek beds, tight single track, steep hill climbs and gnarly decents. This test review and comparison of the four stroke and two stroke KTM Freerides includes reviews from the infamous Rabs, who managed to bend both KTM Freerides during his test ride. The KTM Freeride bikes concerned were a 2014 Freeride 250R and a 2013 Freeride 350. Coming from a trials background, you can appreciate the capabilities of a purebred competition motorcycle. In short, the Freeride motor feels very trials-like. It makes mellow usable power early in the range then signs off quickly. With the new Freeride 250R, I feel as if KTM has designed and built the bike of my dreams. Time to take a ride into the future! The KTM Freeride chassis is unique. It uses a perimeter frame made of chrome-moly steel and aluminum. In front, there's an inverted 43mm WP fork.
