Best of both worlds
Race Tech’s Paul Thede wanted to get his son Brandon back out on a bike, so he thought he’d look into a bike they could ride on the trail, street, and even the occasional vet moto track. Brandon hadn’t ridden motocross in years, so he needed a bike he could cruise around on with his dad but also connect some pavement with some dirt roads. Paul purchased a used 2019 KTM 350 EXC-F because the 350 simply weighs less than a 450 and is less intimidating. However, once Paul and Brandon received the bike, they quickly found out how slow the stock 350 off-road bikes are, so they wanted to get some power back while maintaining the friendly 350 character.
