Only thing I can't come to terms with is that muffler. It just looks so big in not sure if it is In fact larger than an FMF or pro circuit but looks dis proportional on that bike.

Its not the muffler its the bike. The new KTM's and Husky's have such small number plates they make the pipes look massive because 95% of the pipe is exposed.

MX 31 front tire? Really???
That has to be wrong? Why would they run an old tire?

Its all about feel for those guys. Maybe Deano is more comfortable with an MX31 front.

interesting that they run a thicker rear disc. Is this because Dean-o is an animal on a 2 stroke?

As far as I know most KTM factory riders use the Moto-Master Flame 4.4mm Rear disc. The standard thickness is 3.5mm. The design of the rotor is also very gentle on brake pad wear.

The only reason I could see for this would be more heat absorption....but also alittle more rotating weight, but who knows.

Did i hear right about the hubs? "Kite hubs that Rog himself designed..." as in The Man? I found that pretty damn cool.
