KTM 300 XC-W TPI vs. KTM 300 SX

In this video, I take my Gnarly Routes KTM 300 XC-W TPI and my personal bike that is a Gnarly Routes KTM 300 SX out for a head to head test at two different riding spots. Since 2020, I've used the SX model for local racing and riding at home in Texas while my XC-W TPI has been used primarily as a trail bike for the Gnarly Routes tours. I've had both bikes in the garage this winter and couldn't pass up the chance to do a test in a variety of conditions to see which bike I am faster on.
