KTM Factory Shop Tour | INSANE Attention To Detail! - Motocross Feature

The famous wall of engines. Every race engine is broken down and rebuilt by the same engine tech assigned to one rider.

Practice bikes and race bikes are identical, meaning a rider could never say they like a setting they found on the practice track better than what they have on race day.

No doubt things where cleaned up for our tour, but the shop is spotless. They have plenty of machining capabilities to make almost any custom part they need or want to try.

Roger DeCoster has an office... That he is never in. Most days you can find him in the shop somewhere. If he isn't working directly on a bike, he can be found making custom parts for the semi trucks or awnings. True story, he machined better awning cover corners to make the awning tighter and not sag. Perfection is the target, always.

A look at the all-new KTM/Husqvarna frame, subframe, and swingarm.

To make sure to account for as many variables as possible, there is a 450 and 250 dyno chassis that engines are mounted into for dyno runs.

Cases ready for reassembly.

Ti and aluminum fasters are ready for a bike to be assembled.

New longer footpegs.

More mechanic porn.

Other than factory KTM, who's out there with these stands?

Marv's MXoN boots that he never used. Notice that the ribbing in the center of the boot is not there, but the soft leather section is colored in such a way to make it look like it is.

Now we move into the Factory KTM Semi. Mechanics need there own space too.

Sure, our tool box looks the same...

Everything has it's place.

Can you imagine if you accounted for each individual part how much all of this would be worth?

Even something as simple as graphics has had plenty of optimization. Obviously, these laser-cut foam drawers are all new for the new body work. Plus, to make sure they don't curl up in hot and humid weather, they cut plexiglass to match and that holds the graphics flat.
