KTM 380 EXC reviews

I expected this bike to be really powerful but I didn't expect this much! The 380 EXC is as light and nimble as some 125s, yet leaves many 450 4s standing. The bike needs no upgrades to prepare for racing and comes with fantastic quality parts as new. It feels as easy to throw around as some mountain bikes I've had! I'd recommend this bike to anyone who has had plenty of experience on smaller bikes. Even the experienced rider should approach with caution; this bike does take some getting used to before you can put all that power to good use. Ignore the wife - go and buy one now! Show less

I recently purchased a 2002 new from stock. What a machine. I am 6'3 280 and it is perfect for me. I race district 7 hare scrambles and play ride in the woods. I have never been so smooth for an entire 2 hr race. It is an amazing bike. I could out accelerate CRF450's, and all the 2 stroke 250's. And in the corners it was like it was on rails. I have been spoiled in the handleing department by riding an 90 ATK 406 for a couple of years. The KTM handles better. Everything wors well on this bike. It powe4red trough deep muddy sand and roosted the competition in the straights. I highly reccomend it to experienced riders. Show less

The KTM 380EXC is an amazing enduro bike. Slim, strong and responsive, the 380 provides the manuverability of a two stroke with the torque of a four stroke. Performs well in tight trials and open roads. Horse power is not a problem if you like it, it has a lot of give. However, working smart with torque will provide middle RPM smooth and fast rides if you wish. The bike does not require open throttle - typical 2T riding. It provides a riding experience with torque known only to four strokers and manuvarability characeristics known only to two strokers. Great bike, period. Show less
