The last KTM I rode was a '14, so not tpi or new frame model. However, I have ridden a '15 Sherco 300 with 5 hrs on it & sold my Beta RR300 - which I owned for 2 years - recently to get a Gas Gas 2018 250.
In my opinion, the Gasser is a better bike from any perspective. Just as light now as the competition, handles just as good as the admittedly brilliant Beta in tight terrain, has a stronger motor than all of them (300).
I have had a couple of mates who own 300's ride my 250 & say it's hard to tell the difference off the bottom between their bikes & mine. I have 13/50 on it, so make of that what you will. My Beta was a 250 before I put a 300 kit on it & I can safely say the EC250 has miles more torque & mid-range than the RR250.
On the flip side, it would be disappointing to say the least if ANY 2018 bike was not a step forward compared to the previous models.
