New ktm?

Kind of random but I’m curious if they’re going to start coming with Cone Valve forks and Trax shock. 

Looks like that’s what’s on the bike, wouldn’t make sense for them to be testing the new chassis with those forks and shock if they’re not going to be equipped with them. Unless they’re just testing them for FE’s. 

Looks like it. That exhaust is grotesque 

Glad I pulled the trigger on a Stark 😂

Did it sound like a drill when you pulled it? 😄

i would say 100% a new bike. you can see all the disguises on it witch is typical of ktm

Or air flow for the shock?

Get used to it, the sound rules are gonna do horrible things to bikes soon..

Goggle strap is heading for the moon! 

My guess is 27 will be same as 26 except different exhaust and airbox and probably orange frame 

As someone who looks for land to have their own moto ranch to ride on, it would be nice to have quieter bikes where you could buy 15or 20 acres and not worry about the house beside it complaining about the noise.   Not interested in electric bikes at this time.  

Tank and seat juncture is different. Maybe we’ll get a better preview with the GP bikes?

This is by far the most upsetting thing

Might as well just shape the pipe to look exactly like an expansion chamber at this point...it'd be better than that imho

Side panels look quite a bit different, the seat to tank area in the front looks different and the silencer also looks larger almost like the big ugly Kawasaki pipes. 

AP7 said he likes the pipe and it feels more brappish

New sound regulations?

FMF to the rescue?

MXGP can’t start soon enough so we can get a glimpse of this warlock. 

Not entirely related, but what shock is this? None of the others are using it.

Looks like a production version of the Akrapovic exhaust the factory guys have been running. 

Which one is having the fading/failing problems? 

It’s mind blowing that the shock problem wasn’t solved in the first few months. Whatever’s wrong can’t be that technically challenging to fix, and it’s gotta suck to head out on the track with low confidence in your bike..

Hope it’s good now

There was some info going around that Sexton was asking for the shock to be set up in a way that was outside of the capabilities or parameters of the shock and that’s why he was having problems. 

might have heard it from REP. Can’t quite recall. 

Its not an issue to make the problem go away. 

Keeping behavior and feeling, and making the problem go away is the real issue. 

3 stroke exhaust

A new bike, but still can’t figure out their shock lol

There was one at MXON with the exhaust - pretty trick
