KTM suspension has been rated very low in past years because they were always set-up fo enduro type desert racing and the suspension sucked for short course stuff. KTM has re-desgned their suspension for 2008 and it is supposed to be some of the best stuff out there right now.

DAVO · 11-26-2007, 10:11 AM

tigmaster · 11-26-2007, 11:04 AM

just sx in general.

Ktm Was King Of The Desert Long Before They Really Focused On The Short Stuff So They Had Good Bikes But The Suspension Lacked Refinement For The Race Stuff. Therfore The Sx Did Suffer A Little Unless You Were Riding It In The Desert.

in the mag ive got they tested it on a short twisted track they said it would do better on longer tracks

tigmaster · 11-26-2007, 03:38 PM

i see, i just assumed ktm was good.

DAVO · 11-26-2007, 03:46 PM

if the linkage less supension was good then why do they have plans to toss it next year.

i havent heard that but change is good i guess. And yea, when i first started riding i alaways thought that KTM were hot stuff for somereason. Maybe because they cost more i guess. but that is what makes them good i guess because of all the parts they get put on them
