After owning MX bikes, I wanted an enduro bike that would be able to do all the MX tracks, would have more low-down stomp than a 250mx, and still have a decent powerband. The dealer pointed to a crate, telling me that was what i needed. A Husqvarna WR360. This bike was able to clear every jump up worcester supercross, it was tougher that the jap bikes i have been used to, and had lots of good bits as standard. The bottom-end stomp to mid range is silky smoothe, maybe more than YZ400F power, with similar grip too. However, once you have reached the mid-range, the bike goes flat forcing an upshift to go any faster [losing out to the YZ400F which revs more]. The bike does struggle to pull top gear properly due to the lack of power, indeed, a KTM200 exc will be difficult to overtake at all once the KTM is on the pipe. Not something you would expect from 350ccs. The dealer removed the exaust ring restrictor from new, and since the KTM race, i have removed the rubber insert in the reed block which acts to improve bottom end. Removing this livens the bike up somewhat, more mid-range and snappyness , with a tad less bottom end. Top end and revs though are still unaffected. I'm a bit miffed that its not up with the big 4strokes as standard, and that i have to put it into a shop for them to get it going 'properly' at cost to me of course.
