Is there any news on a release date for next years model? Seems like it was Feb for this years bike if I remember correctly.
Looking to make a return after a 5-6 yr break......
Thanks....

Might just have to look for a left over 2017.5..
thanks Digger.
But the demand of the bikes will probably be massive just like in 2015 and 2016 so that you'll be lucky to get one.
I guess that we in Europe wont see them since US needs them because of the homologation rules? Anyways, i will wait for the regular 2019 models that will show up the summer of 2018.
The Shop
FE doesn't have many changes.
just started looking, but cant locate one around my neck of the woods...
52MM Cone Valve FORKS PLEASE!
- A 250SX (two stroke) factory edition with cone valve forks
- To be 19 again
- Carrie Bolling
I'll take any two of the above. Come to think of it, I don't really need a 250SX....
Even then, I couldn't keep up with ML ripping on a damn KTM 125
Go buy the 17.5. you will be a happy camper regardless...
Is the 2018 all new for sure?? Heard that might be pushed back to 2019?
Because who ever set up the stock WP AER forks were high. They are junk in stock form.
On the 250f I could go for a strong engine off the bottom and if possible it could drop a few pounds?
I heard a rumor that Johnny Depp might be on to something.
Pit Row
But in stock form I couldn't get them to work well at all. Very vague feeling and no real progression until further in the stroke. Either rock hard or too soft but nothing much in between IMO
Bottoming resistance is good, one good area of the fork to me.
Did you do anything to your shock?? or still in stock form?
Change the front fender design
Shock it stock, 102mm sag and I would have to check my notes for everything else lol. I am 175-180lbs, depending on pizza consumption, in my birthday suit. I've got 30+A speed for about 3 laps, where the bike works really well. It seems the faster I go, the better the shock works. A lowering link would probably benefit this KTM chassis a bunch as I feel it rides a bit high in the rear.
Let me know how your re-valve works, I will probably put up with it until the end of the year....But definitely plan on doing something over the winter.
Edit: 145 is what I meant, not 135...fat finger syndrom
...are you saying that you run AER 48 at 135 PSI ? I weigh 178, and I have to run them at least 153 PSI (10.6 Bar) to keep them from bottoming on even the smallest of jumps, did you change your oil level?
I'm sure we're not far away from these bikes reaching $15K (electric will be $20k). Not too long after - $20K (electric $25K). Man if I only got raises like that at work
Make too much fun of our Platypus, and we'll make you hold a Male one where he can get his Poisonous Leg Spurs into you.
You'll be pretty bloody crook / squealing in pain, after that, you smartarses!
I don't think it'll be the last year though, at least not that I've heard.
There'll be both a FE 450 and 250 for the winter.
