Too bad they went to showing the whole silencer again, in 07-10s they got trashed. The TLD bikes in all orange look much better then the white rears IMO.

Also a side note it looks like Musquin and Hill are wearing FOX gear, Wilson stays Answer, which brings up the question of (like rockstar husky) if the 250 guys are under different rules (must wear team gear [fox]) then the 450 team getting to wear whatever they want.

The TLD bike is amazing! The white rear fender on BTO and Red Bull ruins everything. The side plates makes the FMF pipe look like it's 10ft long.

I like them n i love ktms but i like the older style better. I just got a 15 250sx n i was alil nervous cause i wanted the new FE , but im no longer sweating it. The silencers on the stock 450sxf always looked like a moosecock, now with the smaller # plate the race bike silencer looks like a moosecock! Either way i know their totally f ckin insanly badass bikes. Ive had ktms since 2011 n dont ever c myself going back to a jap bike. Next up, is a husky for me!

I think what everyone is missing is that there will be a 250FE in Feb!

The exhaust mounts to the motor mounts? In theory wouldn't it then give the chassis a different flex depending on the exhaust you had?

They're actually designated as the same year that they come out. These are 2015 models.

To answer the Fox question, the 250 riders are required to run Fox boots and gear for 2015, but are free to choose their helmets and goggles. The 450 riders can choose all their own gear.

Personally I hate it when the seat colour doesn't flow into the rear fender graphics. They should have done it how they did on the Honda, it looked much better. It seems like there are very few teams that do this with their graphics anymoreSad
