Like the other guy said, sx for track only, xc-w for trail only, and xc for a little bit of both track and trail.

so are these bikes really that different?

im a quick rider in the A class and I am leaning towards the XC or SX. Is the SX too much for 3hrs of trails and is the XC enough to get through the ugliest stuff?

[Layton]

If you are an A rider you should know the answer to these questions.

But, since you don't, get the XC. That bike was designed to win GNCC races. The SX was designed for mx. Yes there is a big difference in the bikes.

Layton, just because he's an A rider doesn't mean he knows the difference between KTM models. He's probably coming from the inferior Jap bikes, you should be welcoming him here with open arms.

[Layton]

You are right! I really should have known and for that I apologize.

I guess I'm so use to seeing a sea of orange at the off-road races that I forget there are other compainies attempting to build good bikes. ?

I would think An A rider would know, I'm a B rider and I know, and I own all jap bikes..

I got the XC for all kinds of riding. The SX and the XC have the same motor in 07. The XC has a little taller 4th and 5th gear than the SX. The XCW has the more woods friendly motor and suspension and the wide ratio tranny. It also doesn't have the same triple clamps for changing the offset. If your an A off road rider then the XC is for you. If your an A motocrosser then the SX is the ticket.

what do u ride? mx track? trails? what?

someone should outline all the model differences and make a sticky out of it.

I concur!

man oh man, if you love the trails get the EXC250 instead, like the ones used by two (2) of the best enduro champs in the planet, david knight of england and juha salminen of finland
