  • Comparing the 2024 KTM 350 SX-F vs. KTM 450 SX-F

Since 1948, Barnett has been manufacturing American made clutches with the finest, cutting edge materials available. The new Barnett C22 Carbon and K22 Kevlar friction materials are made exclusively for Barnett and no other manufacturer- foreign or domestic. Barnett was the first to introduce the Kevlar friction material to the industry in 1991 and the Carbon friction material in 2000. Today Barnett continues to be run by three generations of the Barnett family at the Ventura, California facility. Built with passion, driven by performance.

It's the great debate! The old saying goes that there's no replacement for displacement but KTM has offered their 350 SX-F machine for over a decade as an in between option for riders wanting more than a 250 has to offer but not needing the power of a 450. Kris Keefer has put many hours on both the KTM 350 SX-F and KTM 450 SX-F machines over the years and with the 2023 models, he decided to dial in both bikes with everything he thinks each of them need to be real winners. Today he invites good friend Greg Loup, mechanic Eddie Laret, and Gypsy Tales' Jace Macalpine out to Cahuilla Creek MX Park to truly compare the two machines. Each rider will do laps on both bikes and only see what times they ran after Keefer reveals it to them. They all dissect what is good and bad about both machines to try to conclude whether the 350 or 450 is better for them.
