Well I finally rode my friends 2012 KTM 300XC, i was really surprised how much more I like my GasGas. I thought the Gasser has more motor bottom to mid, I liked the way the Gasser turned, seemed easier and more confident. The suspension was even better but I think he did not have his set up as good as it could have been. We were in tight single track with some open stuff.
Like I said very surprised, got to say just love the GasGas, what a great bike!
