250 looks a little luscious. How have the 250's been holding up?

the big change is the AER forks, other then that they get an aftermarket silencer again and the typical orange anodized parts and bolt ons (triple clamps, disc guard, holeshot device, ect) and factory graphics.

I like how the 250 actually looks like the TLD 250s rather than just copy the Red Bull KTM graphics from the 450.

Agreed, although the number plate/airbox cover combo is godawful IMO

The 2016 European 450 with AER forks weighs 100.4 kg = 221 pounds. Without fuel.

The FE will probably be a bit lighter with the Akrapovic silencer.

I would presume with the Silencer and the forks plus whatever other lightweight modifications that may have been made, both bikes should be significantly lighter.

Those look different than the current TLD graphics I wonder if TLD is switching it up for this year.

Anyone know how much lighter the Akrapovic exhaust is than the stock exhaust?

Is it just me or does the Orange color on the 250 have a red hue to it when comparing to the 450?

After all- they run a custom paint shop, and are sponsored by PPG.

IMHO: The TLD bikes look way better than Dungey's ride. That GoPro check must be nice! Woohoo
