sectionone Report post Posted December 21, 2019 That would mean they will not supply parts for the pre KTM models like they did with Husky. Their business model is to use the same components across their brands so it wouldn't make sense for them to support the Pro motor. Maybe they will use the Freeride motor as the starting point. I'd like them to use their 150 motor which is as light as the Pro. Bored out to 180cc it would be the bike for the masses. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think that's pretty exciting. I want one now! Does it? A new engine? why would they do that and how could they justify developmental costs vs. sales?

Whenever Trials is mentioned it is specifically called out as Trials. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sherco70 Report post Posted December 27, 2019 (edited) Trials riding is more about the rider, especially for me. Getting a new machine is not that much of an issue. All makes need a variety of products to generate income. To give Gasgas credit they do have the electric. And I got the Contact.

cascao Report post Posted December 29, 2019 I do not belive in KTM spending money in a new motor. Maybe some minor tweaks and (why not?) a tpi in a few years. Most likely to happen is Brembo brakes and (why not 2?) WP forks in a few years. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
