If your buying an enduro bike your going to have all the short intervals with it. If you want an enduro bike with road bike service intervals your screwed as there isn't one Seriously though it depends on what type of riding you intend doing. If your just looking at the odd trail to ride when on a country road ride i'd be looking at a KTM690 Husky 701 or the Gas Gas 700 all the same bike, oodles of power and around 7000 mile service intervals but they do have a few teething issues that are easy to sort, probably already done if your buying second hand. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boboneleg Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 No enduro bike comes with long service intervals. Having said that if you’re only trail riding then you won’t have to do it as much as you would if you were racing. The KTM 350/500 exc’s are light and powerful, just change the oil every 1000 miles and they will be fine . 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 What do you mean by road work on it, @Six30? You take roadbikes on a van, so get an EXC and drive it to near where you want to ride. Here people ride any WRF or CRF or EXC with average care, and they seem to be ok and pretty much bulletproof. There’s a guy on Sofia’s town that rides a CRF250F to commute locally and it keeps going around. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
