KTM 380 reviews

I just traded my 2006 CRL25 for this bike and it's amazing! Power is great in low end and great on top. It's kind of hard to kick over though if you're short like me. I just lean it up against a tree and start it. It's very reliable, comfort is amazing as it has a wider seat than my 125. It has definitely had quality parts used. It's a very nice bike. Show less

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

My last bike was a Honda XR 650, the 380 is lighter and more nimble and when you want speed you've got it. It is very torquey giving you predictable power. Jetting at 7000' has been interesting -the manual is a good starting point. 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

I have a 2001 380 and it hauls! I have not ridden a bike as fast as it is. It has so much torque! You could pull stumps with this thing. I'll never go back to any other brand. 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

Most powerful Dirt Bike I have ever owned. I'm gearing it slightly lower for woods riding, and riding with my son. Seat cover goes to hell shortly, replaced with Factory EFX gripper. All other parts high quality. Highly recommend adding clutch saver, skid plate, and stiff handguards. Show less
