Yep, the 2-stroke KTM enduro bikes are all EXC, the four strokes are EXC-F.

From memory they come in 125,200,250 and 300 flavours for EXC.

Something like that. Look for the expansion chamber, biggest giveaway.

And a 530 2 stroke may be a 'little much' for green laning (though probably could be tickled along ok, actually).

If you'd like a play on my 200 some time, give me a shout. Not road legal at the moment, however.

A lot of the 200s can be quite peaky and not very user friendly. The 250s and 300s only have a few kg more, but are a lot more user friendly.

Thanks G, mighty fine offer! Will keep an eye out for the 300s, but road legal versions seem to be quite rare at the moment.

Also have a look at the Gas Gas EC range of bikes. Far superior to those nasty orange things

Gas Gas are very reliable engine-wise. The parts are good quality items such as Marzocchi forks, Ohlins rear shock, DID wheels etc.

Some bolts could be better quality but they're good bikes overall.

Incidentally; I'm heading up to Enduroland on Saturday, it's their big 'endurofest'. Think they've got bikes you can try out for a fee - last time I went they had the whole range of KTMs, nut sure this time.
You're welcome to grab a lift with me; you'll probably have to pay to ride the main track, but welcome to ride some laps on my KTM too.

Bendy rode my EXC fine before I did the rear pre-load, after setting it up, I can only just get my feet on the floor.

Should be able to get back a chunk before that - last lap is apparently 4:30 and about an hour an half to get home.

Details are here: https://www.endurofest.co.uk/ if you're bothered by trying specific models, worth giving them a call to see who will be there and what they charge, etc.

£40, should be able to afford that as well. Which route you going to take there?
