I don't understand why they keep making the frames stiffer , knowing that everyone doesn't like it. Maybe they should just make the factory editions this stiff and the regular production bikes like the 16-18 models.
I always have liked the stiffness of my YZ450 on track and thought KTMs were a bit flexy if that makes sense. Is this the reasoning for stiffing up the frame? I race with some guys who love the flex, it just never suited me. Great vid tho Josh, KTM sure are good looking bikes.
I’m right there with ya man, it seems a stiff alum framed bike handles better the harder you ride. Whereas my steel framed husky handled worse when I pushed it due to flex characteristics
This frame on the new Gen KTMs '22+ are much more rigid. Like any other Alum frame I guess for most part. The engine is phenomenal on '23 450 SXF & won't change for '24 thankfully! Can't go wrong w/KTM/Husky/GasGas in my opinion.
@@vlllntynn20 Alum frame is the way to go esp on these high HP 450cc bikes. KTM nailed it engine wise on this Gen for sure. Very strong, smooth power & rock solid dependability.
59-60hp is all i need to hear! Wow. Not a Honda fan. It's factory edition is making similar hp but engine isnt as smooth or linear as KTMs. I think KTM nailed it on this newer Gen 450 an the '23 model is nicely refined. *No perfect bikes out there but all are very good esp for this Vet rider* ! #KTM #Maxima #Motul
I don't know why KTM doesn't put a full titanium system on their factory editions when Honda and Kawasaki both have full titanium systems for exhaust You're going to spend that extra pennies on it might as well just give me a full f****** exhaust not just a slip-on
Looks like it is not settled very well coming down hills, at least with this rider and track conditions. Track was not very rough, and looked like it rained or had been watered in nicely. So they either need to get clickers set better for this rider, or the rider is not having that much fun under braking and into corners.
KTM have been doing Factory Editon's well before Dungey joined. In Europe I owned a 2010 450SXF Factory Editon...
KTM was producing fuel injected SXF 450s in 2011 and also released the factory edition in 2010.
This is a sweet machine I loved it Ryan dungey started riding KTM since 2012 lot of upgrades on it
Thanks for your honest opinion

@@vlllntynn20 I agree my friend
@@vlllntynn20 gap and crack filler in the frame! Try it....

Those are not X-Trig clamps. They are KTM Powerparts clamps.
Yeah I got a little excited there on the intro… but I got it right later!😆
It looks nice but like he said it's the same as the regular and it cheaper to get those after market part yourself
you cant buy all them parts for under 1200 that's all I know lmaoo
@Conner Burger you are correct, not even close🤙
I have a 2021 KTM 450 and I was wondering if the 23 has a different rear shock?
I think its been heavily revised.
i have the same bike! got it yesterday love the power

KTMs are best bikes on track these days hands dwn.
You guys REALLY need to learn how to pronounce that exhaust properly........
