Where's all the tin foilers shouting blasphemy that the shock mount is the same?

They sure did make them hideous if nothing else.

They aren't terrible looking, but they aren't good looking either.

So BNG on the 450 and that's it? Cool. Looks like a 23 leftover may be in my near future. How are you guys liking your 23's? Or as I should say, first and foremost how are the forks?

I freaking love the 2023 350 and 300. A lot of suspension work that I would most likely do on other brands but they're both amazing bikes.

Get rid of the orange fenders and the orange seat... it would be a decent looking bike.

Not bashing KTM. Great manufacturer. I've just hated orange my whole life.

Awesome! Thanks man. What suspension work have you done? Just a revalve?

KYB's on the 350sx-f and the WP 6500 kit on the 300xc.

The one thing they got right...went back to an orange rear fender.

I feel like the 2023 looks pretty good, but it would look better with a orange rear fender and possibly a black seat. The 2024 looks bleh to me, even with the addition of the orange rear fender.

Damn, that's not what I wanted to hear. Are people still struggling with the air forks that bad? I thought they were a lot better now. A revalve is one thing, but I'm not looking to drop another $5k in after market forks after spending $11k on a bike

Better isn't the issue. You just have lots of people who have ridden spring setups most of their life and spring and air don't feel the same.

They are better. I race hare scrambles on the 300 and the air forks ramp up pretty quick around the hour mark. I also hate checking air pressure every time I ride.

No, they're not. The XC and XC-F models are going to spring forks.

My guess is people just struggle with setting them up.  I have a 23 250sx, I don't even feel the need to revalve the suspension because it's really good stock.  I know a few guys with 23's as well and they all have no issues.  I think they just got a bad rep early on and people are still running with it.  I know a lot of guys don't even know how to set up forks with springs, air just adds another element for them to get lost with.

Haha, no doubt about that! You know the companies that make the spring conversion kits are kinda bummed.
