Stock suspension is limiting and it is noticeable for intermediate riders up like me. I have a pair of closed cartridge forks specially tuned, it’s like riding on a cloud when hitting whoops. I understand why people bag out this kind of upgrade, but in my opinion, it is a personal thing and worth it if you have the money to spend. Note, I would not be spending this money in a hard enduro bike, it will make no difference in your performance. However for fast enduro it will make a difference and is worth it.
Or you can change bike brands and get a bike with decent suspension already fitted. Heaps of adjustability on KYB gear and two Euro brands run it. It CAN be raced stock and capable of winning.
My question is why does the pro suspension have to be adjusted via a screwdriver compared to standard that can be adjusted via a knob? is it so that others can't stuff up your settings before a race as easy?
I LOVE KTMs nerve 🙂 Make bikes with junk suspension that even average Joe has to have tuned to ride it, make them feel like that's totally normal, then offer VERY expensive upgrade parts to bolt onto your expensive new bike! Hilarious 😁👌 Buy a Euro bike fitted with KYBs and ride happy!
KTM/Husky jumped the Shark - I have a 2018 FE 450 - spent $1000 to de smog & get fuel/air correct. (Love the Vortex ECU) Spent another $2300 on suspension (USA funds). Thinking of trying a Beta next time !
$16700 on the road for a 300 Husky/ktm/gasgas blah blah , add 800 for protection , then still stuck with WP that need tuning or throwing away and before you know it you're at 20k ! Hav'nt even covered the TPI yet .
This video deserves far more views, thank you for the video.

because of external forces might mess it
if youre spending $16k on a bike, surely it should have at least some of these features as standard.
considering Yamahas KYB cartage forks that come stock

Sad dude.
Look into the Sherco range. I'm on my 3rd one and love the bikes.
KTM is Austrian. That’s about as “euro” as it gets.
Shite fork in stock trim.
