I just noticed this. Look at the top of the forks. Those dont look like KTM fork caps, more like Honda and those are Honda fork guards. But if you look at the bottom of the fork tube it has the ring that KTM has. I wonder if they took the forks off his Honda, they were grey too.

The fork guards are the 2015 style. Can't comment or not about the actual forks. They might be the new 4CS.

I was going off of this...

Front suspension
(NEW)

For the United States, the SX model range features the WP 4CS fork. The completely new four chamber fork has been specifically designed and tested for motocross. The advanced 4CS fork offers improved damping, is lighter than previous models and can be adjusted easily for compression and rebound via the dials on the top of the fork tubes.

Not the FE with no orange frame? Would think they would start with that as a base?

I was told by his brother/ mechanic Greg, that they were testing the honda forks on it. They were looking for same feel, to make transition easier, and they were already setup.

Those guards are not like the ones on my 14.5 FE 450, the forks are not the 4CS either. They look like Honda set up to me.

I don't think they are 4cs. I went and looked at pictures of his honda and he wasn't running air forks. Those caps match the ones on his honda.

So now I know the criteria for belonging here! Not having a clue what you're talking about! Laughing

Some days I qualify.

Anyone else think the graphics are making it look like a Honda? Maybe Bryar just took his Crossland graphics and made it fit a KTM but the lines on the tank make it look 13+ Honda.

His forks definitly look like his honda forks.bike looks incredibly stock, says alot about ktm. Hes also smart enough to get rid of the wp stuff. The 4cs is better than the cc stuff but its gna be awhile before tuners have a handle on them. My ohlins will be on every ktm i own!

Hard to tell which forks those are. Anyone find a more clear photo? I was going to say the forks will be the most difficult thing for Jimmy to get used to. I hope he does well!

I thought the same thing the instant I looked at the photo above. Granted, I look at Honda graphics all day.

They are probably trying to be consistent with the look he's been running in Supercross.

Jim Lewis of Merge Racing Technologies setup the suspension, so with his innovating ideas, it is not going to be stock..... "Suspension and Engine Guru".
