Jamen reviews the ALL NEW 2023 TX300 from Husqvarna!! Take a ride through the desert as Jamen gives his first thoughts and impressions of the TX300 and TBI motor.
Yeah. As a young man of 63, I’ll never complain about the power of my last four WR 450’s in the last seven years. Just bought a new Beta 300RR. Can’t wait for the snow to melt up here in Canada so I can take it for a rip.
Being a fl resident (building out is wiping out most riding) the combo of the drone, onboard, and scenery is spot on , let alone the interest I've got in this KTM/husky/gasgas tbi 300 . Well done. 🤘🏽
Great video man besides the fantastic terrain you ride on we appreciate how you explain most of the things we want to hear about newly developed bikes like TBi can't wait for more juicy content!❤
Sweet bike, I'm excited to try a TBI. I love my 22 Gas Gas EC300 which I also purchased from RM in St. George. Ive actually been really impressed with my braketech breaks, they are lacking a little bite from the brembos especially the front brakes but I think I actually prefer the braketech rears. And I think the braketech clutch is better than the Brembo in my opinion at least for my riding style and the technical single track I usually ride. I was riding the same area three weeks ago over thanksgiving break. Sucks they skimped out and put a cheap chain on my stock chain on my 22 is still in great shape, with how excited you are about the motor it really makes me want to ride one, I have got used to not mixing gas in my TPI bike though and I like that
Nice ride! I know it’s starting to get warmer in STG now… do you ride any slower, techie stuff? I’d like to hear your opinion on it when the speed is low and the temp is 100°+ . Thanks for the great video 👍makes me want to move back to St. George
Check your chain. Disappointed to discover my TX came with Braktec brakes and non o-ring chain. Can’t wait to find out what else Husqvarna skimped out on.
I cant decide this or a 350 FE. Plate or no Plate. Smoke or no smoke. Ive had my kx100 for about 5 years i for sure need a bigger bike but these TBI 2 Strokes Husqvarna and KTM Brang they are just so appealing to me 😵
The all new 300 TBI engine really stands out - I feel the same way about my '23 300XC - hard not to talk so much about this engine...it really is that good! Did you TX300 come with a DID VT2 o-ring chain or regular chain? Seems like some '23 TX300's are coming with non o-ring chains.
It came with a crappy Moto chain. Between the surprise braktecs and the chain it’s been a bit upsetting. My neighbors XC300 also came with the junk chain.
@@XploreEnduro Perhaps KTM is having supply issues with DID VT2 o-ring chains. My '23 KTM 300XC came with DID VT2 x-ring chain and don't get mad....Brembo's too! How do the Braktec brakes feel compared to Brembo? Just as powerful but more modulation? I have heard from a friend that (2) dealers around him claim they have 2023 Husky TX300's arriving in December that will have Brembo brakes. Interesting the crates identify the Husky TX300BT...I've never seen a brake spec tagged to the model number - makes me think there could be Brembo TX300's in 2023.
@@mxengineer1 haha lucky! The braktec rear and clutch are fine. The front is tough. It doesn’t start braking until the lever hits your fingers on the grip and there’s no solid way to adjust that. It works ok but it’s definitely a few steps below brembo quality! I didn’t want to comment much in the video as I want to bleed it and work on it a bit more before calling it an absolute turd of a brake.
Engine braking? That’s for 4 strokes! 😂 It runs cleaner and falls off much smoother when you let off the gas unlike a TPI. It’s a Skydio, coolest thing I own.
@@XploreEnduro hahah well of chores i guess engine brakeing is the wrong term. i would assume because of the way these motors are set up there would be more resistance when letting off the throttle. yeah that drone seems so sick. i want one.
I was wondering if you could please identify the location where you’re riding? I’m so tired of the muddy, slippery, root infested trails up here in Washington and wherever your at looks like an incredible place to have a great ride. I definitely want to check it out!
It’s generally 10mm but the sites seem to be more like 7mm shorter than the ktm on this model. In person and riding them, it feels like an inch or two.
I agree, clutch and rear brake are fine, front brake sucks. Lever is half way to the bar before it grabs. Along with bleeding, try spreading the pads several times. It helps but still not the same as a Brembo. So far my first Husqvarna experience is disappointing.
@@Trex-ds5nw it’s upsetting considering Husqvarna is supposed to be the “premier brand”. Pay an extra $100 and get brakes that are worth $1000 less in performance!
@@XploreEnduro awesome, great to hear. I was reading some people were having issues. Not sure how many are and how many aren’t. I want to get one. The fun you’re having in the video is contagious.
They might depending on your setup but you couldn’t pay me $ to ride a carb bike over these new TBI. I also don’t think many people are saying that haha
Awesome video J Man.... way better than watching old men complain about bikes having too much power
Haha 😂😂 Ohh and this bike goes in a straight line just fine!

Thank you, that is very appreciated! Thanks for watching.
So glad to see great reviews! Can’t wait to get my own!
You’ll love it man!

Excellent review you say it as we are thinking it! All the questions are answered.
Awesome job Jamen. Your thoughts are very consistent with mine on my new 250. Great job with the video.
Thanks Mike!! They are a super fun improvement for us 2 stroke lovers
Very excellent. I had a 2018 and regret selling it. Nice vid way to go!
Awesome video!
One wicked bike for sure bud Love my 23 TX300 Heritage
Love to try these new TBI bikes. Thinking of grabbing the husky TC 250. Cheers man

We ride the same areas. That’s backyard. Great vid. I just picked up my xc300 from RM yesterday. Hopefully see ya around

So good
Thanks Morgan
Awesome video! Would this bike be suitable for a weekend warrior vet rider riding desert AZ trails? Or would the TE be easier to manage and learn on?
You definitely sold it to me brother. I'm definitely going to get my hands on one brother. Thank you for this awesome video
New subscriber here! I’m also a subscriber to Morgan at Highland cycle. I’m thinking about getting a husky TX 300 this year. Thanks for the info.
Awesome! Morgan is a great friend. Even tho I dislike Orange, I would recommend the KTM so you don't have to worry about bad brakes.
Check your chain. Disappointed to discover my TX came with Braktec brakes and non o-ring chain. Can’t wait to find out what else Husqvarna skimped out on.
Mine is the same! It’s pretty annoying, I agree it makes me wonder what they skimped on in the engine!

Grahm Jarvis bike 👍 excellent riding area
Great video, please tell me that you tried the green map at some point!
I did during this ride and didn’t notice much of a difference in the sand! I have since tried it a couple times and it is quite the punch! 💪🏼
@@XploreEnduro new subscriber! Keep the videos coming!
@@PezRacer thank you very much! I will have a new video about the bike up within a few days!
Now thats how u test a freshy. 👊🏼✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼
Seems like the bike I’m looking for I want one bike that can do it all and do it well 😂 …..slow tec ,open desert,glamis ,local hills
It’s hard to beat the 300 for a do it all! Especially with this new motor!

@@XploreEnduro i hear the braktec clutch pull is much lighter though! NICE
where you hear that??!! 🙂
bike is sick! do you feel like the engine braking is different then any other 2 stroke? also what drone is that?

@@Dtay630 the TPIs had a harsh down sputter when you cut the throttle, this bike seems just clean coasting like a carbed bike.
Did you manage to bleed your front brake? I just picked my tx 300 up and the front brake pulls all the way into the handle bar
Also you talk a lot about the power did you try the different power maps?
I was wondering if you could please identify the location where you’re riding? I’m so tired of the muddy, slippery, root infested trails up here in Washington and wherever your at looks like an incredible place to have a great ride. I definitely want to check it out!
St George Utah
Iol I was thinking the same thing after my ride in the rain today in b.c.
How much lower is the seat height over the orange bikes?
It’s generally 10mm but the sites seem to be more like 7mm shorter than the ktm on this model. In person and riding them, it feels like an inch or two.
How does the clutch and brakes compare to the Brembos?
Clutch and rear brake are good and the same! The front brake is pretty bad and Husky should be ashamed for sending them out on a race bike.
I agree, clutch and rear brake are fine, front brake sucks. Lever is half way to the bar before it grabs. Along with bleeding, try spreading the pads several times. It helps but still not the same as a Brembo. So far my first Husqvarna experience is disappointing.
@@Trex-ds5nw it’s upsetting considering Husqvarna is supposed to be the “premier brand”. Pay an extra $100 and get brakes that are worth $1000 less in performance!
You can do all the same on a stock yz250 for half the cost, is it worth??
I promise you can’t. Rode this bike back to back with a 2022 YZ250 and the Husky blew its doors off.
So some of the TX's came with Brembo and some did not?
Sounds like the majority in the US is shipping with Braktec. Lucky few are getting brembos as originally advertised
23:56 were you on the white map?
Yes! The entire ride was on the white map, gonna test out green soon but it is more aggressive.
@@XploreEnduro Lol. Wow.
Have you had any tbi issues since this video?
No. The TBI is easily the best 2 stroke ever made in my opinion.
@@XploreEnduro awesome, great to hear. I was reading some people were having issues. Not sure how many are and how many aren’t. I want to get one. The fun you’re having in the video is contagious.
TBI lol my 89 gmc 5.7l v8 had that lol old tech.
Are you near cedar city?
Yes
One year later and people are saying the carb bikes have more power.
They might depending on your setup but you couldn’t pay me $ to ride a carb bike over these new TBI. I also don’t think many people are saying that haha
Most people call them Husq-a-varna?
No, it’s a simple mistake a lot of us Americans make. Sometimes I get it right and sometimes I add an A. Thanks for your outstanding comment!
Mix gas, haul ass. Awesome Jamen
