What we actually found

The 350 EXC-F sits between KTM's 250 and 450 enduros and is a favourite with experienced UK lane riders. Around 107kg without fuel and fully adjustable WP suspension with 300mm of travel make steep, muddy, rocky lanes feel far easier than on a trail bike. It is built to race, though, so servicing is counted in engine hours, it's uncomfortable on long road links, and the 963mm seat is very tall. KTM doesn't publish its power, so we haven't quoted a figure.

Pros for green laning

Very light: KTM quotes 107kg without fuel, far lighter than any trail or adventure bike here.
Top-end WP suspension: 48mm XACT forks with 300mm travel and a PDS rear shock with 310mm.
347mm ground clearance clears rocks and ruts that ground out trail bikes.
Fuel injection with a map switch and traction control setting for slippery climbs.

Cons and limitations

Servicing by engine hours, so running costs are much higher than a trail bike's.
963mm seat: one of the tallest bikes you can buy.
Small 8.5L tank and a firm, narrow seat make long road links hard work.
Needs a genuinely road-registered example; check your licence covers its registered power.

Based on manufacturer specifications and independent motorcycle press reviews.

Remember: a rank here assumes reasonable stock tyres and a competent rider in decent conditions. The right tyres, or the wrong weather, can move a lane from easy to genuinely hard regardless of what bike you're on. Check a lane's own difficulty and hazards on the map before you go, don't rely on a bike score alone.
