Carb, we won't see the port injected added to the MX models for a couple years.

The most exciting thing is that we are about 3-4 months from the 2019 release!

Rene Hofer's actually been riding the 2019 since December i think it was - I remember seeing pics of his bike on his Instagram. Not sure why i thought somebody had already posted the pics on here...

Wonder if they will get the new thicker down tube like the 4 strokes will recieve? Mxa reported that they upsized the downtube to be 10% stiffer on the factory edition/rockstar edition to reduce failures in that area. We have seen plenty of pics of this failure lately and it's something that I don't want to experience. And I sometimes hit 4th gear booters so it's a concern of mine. I was thinking about picking up a great deal on an 18 250sx but may wait to see if the frame gets the same upgrades as the 4 bangers.

Is it safe to say they are testing and feeling things out with the enduro TPI models? I find it odd they didn't offer a TPI model across the entire two stroke range (XC, SX being excluded)

Sounds like all the Motocross bikes will have the new updated chassis.

Jwack, Can you post info/pics or link on the downtube failure? Is it on the 17-18 250sx model? thanks...

It's in the latest issue of mxa in the rockstar fc450 review.

New KTM looks okay. The new Husky looks terrible to me though. If that means a deal can be had later in the year on a 18 TC125 then I may pick one up and sell my SX150.

Geometry is the same but just beefed up. I like that. I'm hoping for that and some steel engine case spacers at the swingarm pivot. But that would be weight gain!

They should be getting the same chasis as the Rockstar and FE Bike. I haven't heard any engine changes though...

Can you elaborate on these pics? I have only seen the broken linkage picture so far.

I rode one, it calms things down a bit too much. For instance, Graham Jarvis, long time 300 guy swapped to a 450 cause he wasn’t agreeing with the power output of the 300 TPI...

To bring it to Moto will still take a bit of work and the price jump is gonna be noticeable.

As far as I’m aware, the 125 SX and 250 SX will just receive frame, bodywork and suspension updates. They both got major engine overhauls in recent years.

I'm not trying to turn this into a crap on ktm frame thread as I'm thinkin of buying another ktm smoker. I just find it interesting that it was mentioned in mxa that the down tube was beefed up on the new frame due to failures.

I would bet a lot of money on that.
