Its performance sits between a 250 and a 450.

KTM's own 350 EXC-F is the plated sibling, and Yamaha's WR250F is the Japanese four-stroke off-road rival.
KTM 350 XC-F — specification referenceKeefer Inc Testing asks whether the original 350 was a faster but heavier and poor-handling 250 or a sluggish, less powerful 450, and says the current one puts out plenty of torque and low-end power for riders moving down from a 450 who like to ride a taller gear.
The tester used both the white and green maps depending on the technicality of the sections and toggling was not an issue, and says the bike performs well in moderate-speed single track, tolerates tight slow single track and would be a handful for all but expert riders in anything like hard enduro.
