I was excited for a second. I thought someone finally took that god awful WP suspension off and put on the good KYB suspension.
I think some of you have let the internet brainwash you #WP. You think Chad Reed of all people will ride subpar suspension!?

Chad has requested a hold on the #22 for AMA Racing in 2023. I think there's a chance you see Chad do at least one US Supercross to become the first rider over 40 to make a main.
I'm more on board for this type of thing as opposed to the elder ex pros cherry picking Lorettas for monetary gain....

All comments aside, that's a good-looking bike. Does anyone know what the 3rd "stem" is for? [img]https://p.vitalmx.com/photos/forums/2022/09/15/568539/s1200_Inkeds1600_reedworldsxbike.jpg[/img]

You ever heard of Rim Locks?

Guy is retired and still lives the Motolife. I think he deserves the respect to ride and race whatever he wants. One of the best SX racers of all time.

I hope Chad can pull this off.

You see a guy like Tom Brady do it, so it’s technically possible to perform at the top level over 40-( although Reed probably has a ways to go before he is as fit as Brady)

This is just sad to me... first that Chad is even still racing ... why is he not retired?????? if pro mx'ers make sooo much money, why is he still risking his life on the weekends??? ... and two.. that now he's just not very fast... thusly wasting a factory KTM for some up and comer....
I don't think he's doing it for the money man, think he actually loves it.

Re: motor, its a Factory Services engine, its not necessarily free, or 'wasted' for an up and comer. I would guess a similar program to what BBMX were on back in the day, they weren't free.

I’ve been around Moto my whole life…. I’m kinda with this guy. Is it a double rim lock then? Because bikes I’ve rode had a valve stem and a single rim lock.
