Here's the simple answer, I'm not at the races, I tell David Bulmer what tech photos to shoot based on what I hear or what I can theorize might be different on some bikes.

Why we don't have photos of Tanel Leok's bike? I had no clue he was getting any support or any sort in that way.

I asked for photos of the bike this week. We'll see what we get.

Maybe the new frame? Took these from Pit Bits. There's speculation maybe Husky will get an FE type bike.

You can see new head on that Leok Husky. Water pipe comes different place and exhaust mountin directing more down as old was more upright and bent was done in pipe. Looks also more narrow/lighter desing.
Swing arm is all new also if you compare it to 2016-18 models.
Plastic doenst seems to fit upper part where two part meets and radiators are lower/longer.
WP shocks pic one has name Jami (Numminen) belongs to Iceone rider using Husky 2-stroke at EMX300/250 series.

hopefully they put their R&D money into lightweight parts and suspension and not into electronics ''no need for fuel&ignition map changing via phone app'' .

R&D is one thing, cost of parts and manufacturing another. Wifi-units can make debugging easier as well for workshops and people owning the bike, and it is a nice gimmick.

Current limited debug/tuning device was like $700 (US , and they stopped selling it last year. Mechanical workshop equipment is a shit-ton of money more.

Considering how busy the workshops are, and their lack of interest to bring in MX-bikes into the workshops for debugging i think anything that makes it easier for a consumer to find a problem on the bike is good.

Dont know how many riders that has had electronic issues last 2 years when bikes start to reach 80+ hours, and it is a nightmare to try and fix it with current setup.
