I dunno, I think the Factory KTMs took a step back looks-wise and are fugly this year.... not that I wouldn't love one in my pick up.....The TLD bikes look better. The Huskys are the best lookin' bikes this season imnsho...
Horrible as stock, felt like they didnt move at all, but with lower air pressure and about 12 clicks less compression they now work better than any other WP forks I have tried.
Best bike I have ever ridden by a long way. SO easy to ride it fast with minimum effort. With a little effort you go really fast. I have 30 hours on mine and no issues yet except some loose spokes, just need to check them every few rides. Highly recommend it! Light years better than the old generation model...
We spent today at the 2016 KTM SX-F launch just south of Salzburg. Really impressed with how new and improved the bikes feel. Video review to follow but for now here are some photos: Full post here: http://derestricted.com/motorcycles/2016-ktm-sx-f-launch
Yea, they now have all the bikes to test this weekend for everybody. Good day out if you can make it to XBowl. It's Josef Dobes riding in the video, EX Kawasaki MXGP factory rider, I was filming. This is me riding in 2nd part of this vid, not nearly as good as Dobes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TEcd1Q4lEI
I had a 2012 150SX, and my main riding buddy had a 2012 250 SX-F and I found my 150 faster at times, but it was way harder to go fast on it because it didnt seem to handle nearly as well as his bike. I found the new 2016 150 handled way better than my old 150, and the...
It was a little challenging to ride all the bikes (20 minutes on each model and each bike twice) and also run around and capture enough footage for a video in only a day, but anyway, here are my first thoughts on the new 2016 KTM's!
i owned a 150sx for a few years before going to a 350 SX-F. Have also ridden a 250 sx-f quite a few times. the 250 does feel a lot heavier but it is way easier to ride, especially the way the front wheel holds a line. 250f is possibly the easiest bike to ride I have tried but the...
Fully pinned, on the maximum power setting, we were getting something like 20-30 mins max which is a fairly decent moto and then you need to swap out the battery if you want to keep riding straight away, To charge it 100%: 80min / 80%: 50min
Thanks! The clunk is just the suspension bottoming out! Some of the bikes they had were set-up stiffer and didn't bottom out, but the ones with softer suspension handled better and seemed to offer more traction.
A few of us from my work were riding some all morning, was pretty fun! Actually seriously good fun, even in the mud and rain. So easy to ride. We went through a lot of batteries but they always had some more to plug right in. I made a quick and dirty little edit from this morning: http://derestricted.com/motorcycles/ktm-freeride-e-sx-test Will make...
