A 125 0r 200 will work just light weight . So far the KTM150 is the most interesting under 200 pounds .

If all your hung up on is the lightest and not performance your probably on the wrong forum.

I know everyone else was thinking it.

My Xtrainer is incredibly light. I think it is a little heavier than my 2005 KTM 200 EXC but it feels just as light. That is amazing since it has e-start and oil injection; two features the KTM did not have.

out of curiousity, what is your motivation for finding the lightest enduro bike?

I'd venture to guess that a KTM 150sx, with an 18" rear wheel and flywheel would be your lightest bet.

I am a buyer of bikes that got old sick n weak so lighter is better . I ride the trials bikes mostly and also on the rode the last few years but want a 190 pound real enduro bike . If it has a KTM , Sherco ,gasgas , Husky, HondA , yAMAHA IT DOES NOT MATTER THE NAME ON THE BIKE TO ME in my 60 years i have owned all of the brands mentioned . If most of the guys that read my post thought I was being some kind of weaselly wise guy so be it I was looking for an honest answer not what the factory says but what YOU own . Thanks for your feed back now what does the lightest Beta weigh ?

The new 200 sounds like it will tick the lightest weight box as far as Beta , real world I’d say the Yamaha’s wet weight and performance of the 250x is hard to beat . Add the fact it’s the cheapest , your closer to the target 190 lbs. Problem is light often has drawbacks, Ktm has lighter engines , but I have seen questionable damage to cases over the years , and things like exhaust flange braces pointing to maybe been “too” light . The Yamaha has no e start , something that can be a game changer .

E-start a requirement? if so, i'd say a stripped down 200RR would probably be the best enduro type bike. I'd pull off the lighting, and anything else that isn't necessary. KTM makes the lightest bikes currently though. I've ridden an enduro'ize 150SX a bit recently, lots of fun, and pulled down low harder than i would have expected. However, i'd still give the 200RR a hard look. No clue how much it weighs yet though. Never seen one in real life (yet)

My 125rr was 207 lbs. right out of the crate all fluids except fuel. The 200rr has a little lighter forks but i'd guess the OI and E start would add at least 10 lbs. to that.

Thank you that sounds good does your 125 work good in the single track that is were I would be ridding . I am 6 1 and 142 so my size may work with the 125 as I am switching to a 19 Scorpa 125 factory trials bike and looking at a Sherco 125 demo bike and getting to test a new husky 125 . I am reverting back to my younger days when bikes were light .
