At the intro it looked like Eli some type of WP forks. Lewis indicated on LVK that Eli was using WP and was happy with it. AP stated in his interview with Josh (MXA) that WP was bringing all new stuff to test this week. Yes, WP has had issues, but since we know exactly nothing there is no point speculating beyond what has already occurred here.
Does anyone know what forks Eli was using?
Any insights on new WP components?
What I find interesting is it looks like from the pictures all the ktm guys are running the stock tapered outer tubes not the more rigid straight wall xact pro ones.
This could also mean absolutely nothing and they could be a completely different thickness and nothing like the stock ones at all.
I said this in another thread. Something new it is, maybe trying to resemble KYB more. Oil level in WP Pro has been 400ml+ last generations.
320 is more KYB and showa level so probably different spring perches.
eli is an airfork guy right? should help the transition.
anyone see that social media post of prado's collapsed rear suspension?
Difference in oil level could be the outer tubes, they not running the pro tubes by the looks.

Those are spring forks.
Let me ask it another way………are these WP forks Oil forks.
They all have oil damping. Are they like KYB’s? Probably are similar to KYB and Showa, but only the KTM techs know for sure.
They look to be spring forks on that side at least, and the oil level would indicate its a bigger cartridge than typical cone valve forks. So could definitely be KYB's or WP's own version of a similar fork. It would kinda make sense that he is testing Sexton's KYB forks since he has always liked KYB's...
I did compare caps to a pic of Chase’s KYB and these are not the same. I did not see the lugs.
ah i see the label yeah and i guess the preload ring idk. that's damning isnt it in that case? he prefers kyb air but wp spring over wp air? odd
They have been running 400 in both 6500 and Xact Pro (440) installations.
The current spring forks on the off-road KTMs are KYB copies or very close to a copy.
