Frame looks flatter maybe, on the main spars? I dig the lines of the body plastic. Looks aggressive. Seems like they shortened up the front fender a bit, like the YZ (and Stark.) The exhaust obviously has that expansion.

Normally Brembo rear brake locked and he is putting more play in it.

It’s a 350, so that’s a plus.

Frame, tank, bodywork, exhaust are different

The seat is like 5/8ths of a current seat…if you slide up too far in a corner you’re on plastic

By 2030 the front shrouds will extend beyond the front fender. (yes, I know the bars are turned). 

Is the rear plastic more for hiding things or is that probably the final look?

It gets more edgy, pointed and ugly with each new model.

Underrated.

Of 11 bikes i owned, the only 2 with constantly loose spokes were Ktm and GasGas. 
The red one, which i own at the moment, usually takes more hours before they get loose but maybe because it’s newer

Lol

Apparently unpopular opinion, but I agree, the shrouds are well on their way to the tip of the front fender.  Then again, I like the more subtle shrouds on the current CR (and KXs) which everyone says are ugly.  The shrouds above to me just make me want to say "SHAZAM!" out loud.

I'm also a fan of smaller shrouds.

Triumph has a 350 prototype going around. No decision made if they are going to bring it to market.

My local Dealer said Street Legal Dual Sports are to be released mid year 2026, 450 and a 350. Expecting a offroad 350, no date set......

New seat, plastic, split clamp and frame. The front lower cradle of the frame looks like it maybe be I-beam shaped.

This short front fender theme is horrible on all bikes.

I don't understand how they can get so many things "right" (although I understand that's somewhat debatable since 2022) and then fail to address something that should be so simple to fix like spokes.
