Rumors are some big changes coming:
[List]
* Revised bodywork with narrower tank junction
* Upgraded Air fork valving.
* New Air shock.
* Lighter Aluminum Frame
* Lighter Aluminum fenders
* Bigger 23" front wheel
* Lighter left foot activated starting system
* "No feet" suicide shifting system developed by Ryan Dungey.
* Rigid, lightweight titanium now standard material for both exhaust system and seat foam.
* Solid cooling system as natural next step in thermal transfer evolution after air and liquid.
* New selectable ignition maps inspired by professional tracks from both MXGP and Mario Kart.
* Limited quantity "Red Bull Edition" now comes factory-equipped with works-style spoke skins.
[/list]

I️’ve heard we might know more when we get to 2020 but was told 99.9% chance they will be orange. Another source said .1% chance they won’t be orange. Of course I️ can’t name my sources.

I was at a Temecula MX party last week and was informed by an insider that 2021 KTMs will have a button that makes women melt and drop their panties.

My cousin in Austria is an engineer for KTM and he said they are working on a four stroke that sounds like a two stroke but it won't be ready till 2022 at the earliest.

In all seriousness we should start seeing spy photos of the new Honda at least. 4 years is up on this style.

KTM, hard to tell with how many changes they always make.

I heard KTM got the bike so light that they will be forced to have a mass under the frame. I hear it slides around to change the weight bias.

The FE usually gets revealed in December so we aren't that far away from that.

I would imagine that there will be big changes, a bit like the step from the 2014 to 2015 FE/2016 model.

3 year cycle. 13-15, 16-18, 19-21. So 21.5 should be updated not 20.5

That is the normal models cycle.

Depends on model: 2017 was the first year of the new 85 limited to the white bike, updates came on the 2018 Orange 85.... I’m expected a fuel injected 2021 85, er hoping Wink

Nope. The electric big bikes will be exclusively released under the GasGas brand.
