I like KTMs. I have been riding one for two years and its great. But how long must we complain about the air forks. Haha. I'm going back to Yamaha just for the KYB springs.
At this point the only reason KTM could be holding onto the air fork is to arrogantly make a point that they can be competitive regardless of everyone disliking it.
@@Andy-wo9bm it is! I dropped in the WP6500 kit for my 450 SXF. Head and shoulders better than the air fork. A tad bit better biting resistance than the KYB kit. I rode them both and went with the WP
On KTM I would want Vialle or Sexton to comment on it. Just like I would want Jett and Hunter Lawrence to review Honda. But not these folks who lack skills
@@fred_00 Actually you want a variety from novice, vets, on up. There’s too much red tape for a current model racer/rep to cut to even know if it would be honest. Not to mention their actual race bikes are most likely quite different. I think this review actually had a good mix of riders, I especially appreciate the insight that the bike needs to be pushed to feel good on the track, the consumer base at large needs to hear that kind of stuff and if you’re a pro level rider, you’re not even going notice that a ton.
@@Andy-wo9bm So my comment is concise; pretty much means any bike is good for folks who want to just ride. When I say Sexton or Jett I mean those guys ride these bikes to full potential even though their bikes are are not stock. I remember Jett saying CRF 250R or CRF 450R I don't remember which one exactly, that the bike just need after market exhaust then it is good to go. But when you listen to these other guys will tell a lot of things that you do not need. All of us ride different. Just get one bike, any bike, ride it for years you will ride it good eventually.

The weight is a huge reason too. I'd take 3 more pounds with awesome KYB over the WP any day!
But they gave the off-road line up the spring forks stock 😡
@@fugginrambo That’s all I hear from everyone!
@@stevesmith756 And I’m hearing it is phenomenal, some specifically saying it’s better than the KYB stuff they’ve had.
