And there's only one way to find out—we rode them. We took them into the trees and into the desert in search of answers. But first. To keep things on an even playing field, we installed Dunlop AT81 off-road tires on both bikes to evaluate trail perfor- mance for this test. And the EXC got a KTM PowerParts skid plate. Otherwise, we rode them in showroom stock condition. 2020 K TM 350 EXC-F VS. 350 XCF -W COMPARISON P34 THE ANSWER TO THE MYSTERY OF WHICH KTM IS BEST IS SIMPLE. OR NOT.
