I played around with the seat position when I was getting mine sorted out. I wound up moving it further back from the bars a little bit, the angle makes a difference too.

1st thing I did when I brought mine home was swap on the seat I was comfortable with from my ancient Miata hardtail MTB. Tested it, rotated the bars back until same angle as the forks. Tested it again and moved/tilted the seat for less pressure on the family jewels. Then replaced the 30mm rise stock bars with 80mm rise and better grips. Took it to Tahoe like that and ended up adjusting the seat again, but it wasn't cutting it on real trails. Went with my buddy to REI and saw some other seats that looked promising and took pix. When I got home, I bought 1 of the seats I saw at REI and cut 1" off bar ends. Feels about perfect now 👍

Now if we only had good weather to ride it I'd be a happy camper.

I already have a KTM air fork pump will it work on these?

Not enough PSI only goes to 175.  Fox pump goes to 300, some others to 400.

This bicycle is crazy easy to work on! Grips are clamp on so that part was simple and only needed the tiny tool kit and the pipe cutter that I have used many many times trimming motorcycle bars.

I Raised the bar clamp the remaining 2 - 5mm rings so its 10mm higher now and cut the bars 25mm and its definitely better but I might go ahead and cut the remaining 5mm
