So can a KTM fernatic please explain something

Looking at the 350exc-f on the KTM page and saw their is a 6 day extreme model this year, so I did a comparison between the 2 350’s and on paper they are exactly the same, except the normal 350 has 8mm more travel in the front forks ?

Just interested to know what the actual difference is besides the cosmetic stuff

The 6 day model has a different fork “4CS”, the fork has a better feel, its easier to work on (respring, revalve etc) and is lighter. The same as the Bergs fork.

Heavier duty wheels and hubs too.

It seems that standard KTM’s have become the base model. The 6 day is the model with the decent fork and the significantly higher price tag and the Berg has it all at a lower price. Why would anyone shopping for one of these buy the KTM over the Berg?

Good sir you have raised a valid point and may have saved me from team orange … unless Honda bring out a 350 I’m jumping ships … this Honda one is sinking with the prehistoric set up

So when they tell their nonriding mates i’m fully sick I ride a KTM they know what you are talking about. When you say I ride a Husaberg you just get a blank stare.

Or maybe they just like orange

Yep just did!

Swapped my 2012 350 Kato + 4k for a brand new spanker 350 Berg with all the tricky forks, triple clamps, frame, rims, fans, etc etc …… the day before they announced that Berg will disappear back into Husky!

Oh well at least there will be lots of parts for it via the KTM line of ISDT bikes. The only custom bit is the super light poly subframe.

But thats probably the reason why Bergs are cheap; it seems the 2014 Berg will be the final model before they are re united with Husqvarna from whence they originally came.

There are some very very good deals on the 2013 Bergs if anyone is interested Not sure what the difference between 2013 and 2014 models is???

Answer; I didn’t wanna deal with local Berg Dealer, stitched me up on my old berg when it had issues after I sold it, offered zero support.

Plus love the KTMs, never given me trouble. I had not ridden standard 2014 300 EXC so dunno the handling diff, just know I’m very happy with mine and its trail ready nothing to buy, such as radiator guards, pipe guard, bash plate, gripper seat, etc.
