Chases shock doesn’t fade when jett is out. When jett is racing it fades.
VitalAi.
Yeah obviously. I thought this was widely known. He’s had issues since about round 2 of sx
Once again, we are talking about Chase's shock issues/rebound issues, and it still can't have anything to do with his MX crash this year?

Its proof the GP guys are faster!! GP guys get more airflow due to faster speeds, so no fade! 😉
This will all become more interesting once Vialle and Sexton are able to speak their mind in interviews after moving on.
I don't think you'll hear too much detail from either of them anytime soon, so don't hold your breath.
That being said, Chase is about all out of excuses next year.
Chase don’t give excuses. He usually blames himself.
True, and he actually admitted the factory Honda was not as bad as what was made out so yeah kudos to him !
It’s the basic principle of heat transfer. It’s all about the delta and not the absolute temperature values.
Think about the cooling of turbine blades in a jet engine. The absolute temperature of the cooling gas flow is ridiculously high. But still lower than the temperature in the turbine.
Hard to believe in this day & age they could not resolve the shock issue….should have subbed out shock service to Factory Connection 👍
There have been so many brake failures now too, with Sacha being the latest at MXoN. Surely they can figure that one out.
I think maybe a sabotage mole is within the Ktm camp….lets get our best Mx journalist on this pronto……where is that slowie guy👌
In the FIM sanctioned races they can run prototypes or full factory works bikes. In the US the bikes must be production based. Frame alterations are not allowed and the scope of other modifications is limited.
Oh, dear God. Can you imagine? We'd fry the AI asking it to rule on the left/right whip thing, the "is it a triple or a quad?" thing, and what year's Thor gear was the coolest. I wonder what it would say about the seat bounce?
There’s not really any restrictions on what they can do with forks and shocks in the 450 class.
ITS ALL BULLSHIT, RIDE THE FUCKING BIKE! SICK OF HEARING THE WORD COMFORT, RACING AINT COMFORT ITS RISK AT SPEED
WHY ARE YOU YELLING?
Pit Row
Well, at the beginning of this year the company was in the middle of bankruptcy and those guys didn't know if the rig was going to show up at the next race, much less if they were going to get paid or finish out their contracts.
Would you re-sign with an employer like that when you had other safer options?
Still a little hard of hearing after the MXdN chainsaws and horns
fair point but Bajaj has deep pockets, the checks will clear just fine.
Had a talk with ”Grok”. 😄
Dont read too much into it, just had some fun!
Just showing the best bits, it went on for ever…
Last part is hillarious!
(Sorry for hijacking the thread and sorry for some misspellings…)
Sorry to veer further off topic but this is noteworthy... AI has chosen the best Thor line and I don't think it's offbase... I even bought the pink throwback set back when it came out in 2020. AI is starting to understand moto culture! What would AI ride?
ChatGPT: That’s a fun question — “coolest” depends a lot on what you value: aesthetics, nostalgia, innovation, rarity, etc. But looking at the history of Thor motocross gear, a few years stand out objectively. If I had to pick one, I’d lean toward 1991-1992, the “Fast Boyz” era.
Can the mods clean up the bot Ai slop horseshit posts please?
That AI slop had more objective reasoning than most posters here.
Sorry boomer.
Then marry a chat bot and fuck right off?
Exactly my point.
KTMs chapter 7 screwed all their vendors out a ton of money KTM owed them.
Brembo supplier was one of them.
Who knows what other little parts from vendors being used are no longer the same etc.
Maybe this is going on… on their way to another bailout.
All your riding is the same? Because everyone I know has good days and bad days. Those days where something just clicks and you could ride at 95% for an hour if you wanted to. It's the same for the pro's, they're trying to make every day that "feelin it" day.
