New?? That thing is more than a year old. I've ridden it in january this year already on a endurotrack in France. It's nothing special...

Would love to hear more about it from a regular guy, it really is new to most of us that race as far as actually riding it or even seeing one on track.

Rode it today. It`s in enduro trim, soft suspension and a BIG silencer but to me, I really liked the geometry of the bike. Hers a pick...

I’m sticking with my KTM, but with some god suspension and in race trim it would me god. Grate in corners.

so panic revving is outa the question if you come up short? I understand that the single swingarm pivot/countershaft arrangement doesn't stiffen up the suspension like we are use to. Sounds scary.

Yeah, Didnt you know that panic revving magically thickens your shock fluid and stiffens your shock spring? Magic I tell you.

thats the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. you rev the bike when youre going to be short to make the bike drive forward when it hits as opposed to coming to a dead stop.
