The 350 is simply the new golden mean. In tough terrain on uphill sections, it is strong enough to compensate for a lack of riding skills with the throttle grip. But not too strong that it throws you off like a rodeo ox if you use it too hard. Downhill, it's light enough that you won't leave skid marks in your enduro underwear, even on rocky passages.

The EXC 250 is the 1000PS recommendation for all riders of really tough enduro races. As in previous years, the 250 EXC is not a machine that will gather dust in the dealer's storage room and then be sold off. It is rather quickly out of stock and should be ordered quickly.

Good-natured when making mistakes at the throttle

agile engine

meticulous chassis

immaculate gearbox

high-quality brakes.

Further stretches very strenuous to drive.
