BTW, what're em'Foks on der?
Fork Guards and Fasteners are a give-away, too.
Makes perfect sense plus it'll be identical to Dungey's bike ....re-brand husky with a name like Chad Reed, its a win win for both sides, Chad will make A LOT of money and Husky will benefit from a healthy happy Chad Reed when it comes to making Husky a household name again. PLUS since Husqvarna is technically a separate mfg (while still owned by KTM) Chad could do exactly what Dungey did last year and have a "Chad Reed Replica" TC450 they can use the exemption rue race a full on works bike
He would be able to ride/race a 2015 model KTM/Husky because technically he can ride a pre production bike with the changes KTM plans on making to the 2015 model call it a 2014 1/2 TC450 CR Replica. Also, having Reed on a Husky will keep KTM from being spread too thin as they have a lot of factory or factory supported teams as it is.....ANNNNND he could likely get a teammate for 22 racing FINALLY.
Again KTM/Husky will have a lot of money behind this effort so Reed could get himself a pretty big name rider as a teammate. What KTM is doing is pure genius and I applaud them....maybe just maybe Reedy will ride the 2 stoke at a round in SX after the title has been wrapped up oooohhhh that 300 in SX would be suh-weeeet a factory KTM/Husky 250 2 stroke could do quite well in SX with a rider like Chad on the bike as opposed to the outdoors ....yet another marketing windfall.
Oh and did I mention that he will be reunited with Roger Decoster? Yep theres that too......
Look at the post above yours...
Even though the new TC450 will be a carbon copy of the 450sx which run WP suspension I wonder if they (Husky) will run WP or KYB....with the previous owner they did run KYB but this is a different ball of wax entirely since its a KTM with white plastics ...
We all know the current 450sx is a great bke and I also am a firm believer in the steel frame....me thinks Chad will gel with the steel frame as he liked the YZ frame abefore it went aluminium although the parity of the bikes (YZ 2 stroke vs TC450sx) isnt even comparable I think the steel frame is highly under-appreciated............ next year will be a good year for Team TwoTwo

KTM/HUSKY stamp it!
dumbgeon yet ??
Post a reply to: Chad to KTM....?
