KTM 125 SX 2017 vs. Husqvarna TE 250 2024

Practical chassis setup for a wide range of use

Precise lines

Low vibration level in the saddle

Robust overall appearance

Very practical details

Low weight

Great ergonomics in the saddle

Plenty of room to move on the bike

High-quality chassis

Light-footed overall impression

Engine does not have much power at low revs, but runs stable and predictable

2-stroke engine with really good engine tuning

Very good running culture from the engine

Very great performance on steep slopes - good traction, surprisingly low wheelie tendency

Plastics in the boot area quickly look very worn

Prices are normally always a matter of opinion - in this case, however, the whole range seems good but expensive

The recessed grip on the seat is too far forward

Stand has to be folded out a bit fiddly

A bit tiring to ride on longer passages
