It will come with the 4cs and standard rear shock.
This bike on the picture is just a replica of a 350 wich Antonio Cairoli wont race in 2015 gp´s, he will race the 450 against RV
And after his comments from when he used the 450 last I'd be surprised.
This thing is pretty trick!
The Shop
Psychologically that's a blow too... RV is already in his head if that is the case.
The guys over AT MXA is drooling their asses of atm lol
Fuck air. They should go buy a 14 YZ450F, measure the suspension components, build them exactly, not a thing different, and win every bike test from now till then end of time.
It's crazy how different the frame is! Such a steep rise to the head tube. Very honda like, but steel. Also the back part of the cradle is quite different.
Really not a fan of the plastic at the back. The shrouds, mreh, whatever... but the back is awful. All for the sake of grab handles. Who gives a fuck.
I love it and i bought a KTM back in the days just because i thought the look were bad ass and agressive back in 04 , two stroke but the KTM had some exotic stuff like the excel rims, the hydraulic , easy acess to the airfilter, v force. Im amazed how much quality they put out on a stock bike. I want the japanese to make the same switch , Give us hydra and polished stock hubs and et cetera,
in this picture you can see they rehashed the interface between the tank and subrame from the 07 years and made it to fit the plastics on the new bike. They also (obviously) took the number plate combined with the rear fender approach and brought it back. The only thing I think is truly horrible is the front number plate. hopefully if cycra makes one that also cover the lower triple clamps like the factory honda team uses it will look better.
Pit Row
Another one Everts tested back in the 09
It or not.. I have a sneaking suspicion tho that you and Rocket are gonna have to get over it!!
As for the grab handles, you have to remember that KTM is the largest producer of Enduro and off-road bikes, where a good solid grab handle is a must. Most bikes have reinforced rear fender areas but the problem with those is that when you use them, your glove ends up covered in mud from the bottom of the fender. This new design should fix that and be greatly appreciated by that market.
It literally seems like both of the above headlines are accurate (due to the credibility of sources), but I can't imagine why KTM would unveil the 2016 dressed in a graphics package that is identical, sticker for sticker, as AC's 2015 ride (or is it the other way around?)
Is it really necessary for a club level rider to spend 1000's of $$$ on aftermarket suspension in this day and age? not in my opinion- the stock stuff is more than good enough for 99% of riders, just need to find a good suspension tuner! same goes for any bike in that regard though
