Sorry, not for MTB. It's a pretty sick looking fork though.

I agree on the sorta. I'm as stoked for an e-dirtbike as anyone but I think I'll wait a few years for weight & price to come down and range to go up. I just bought a 300XC to hold me over.

So dope! This will make such an awesome DH trainer

Indeed, it seems perfect, nice and light, smallish tires. Too bad its a KTM so it costs a fortune.

^Indeed, hopefully the Japs wil get into the market soon.
That little SuMo bike looks perfect for a little, in-town commuter bike. 45mph top end and 1.5 hr charge time is ideal. The single crown looks goofy but i could get used to it real quick...

KTM says they will cost about the same as current Enduro bikes, figure $7,000.

This will make such an awesome DH trainer.

Imagine it with a freewheel on the rear sprocket and faster rolling tires.

 

[spocomptonrider]

I'm sure it will be north of 7000,

"What will the KTM “Freeride” motorcycle cost?
The price has not yet been finalized; however, the aim is to stay under € 10,000 and to settle on a price comparable to a conventional, high-quality, sport Enduro."

 

[Lelandjt]

That's the pricing in Europe. Bikes are cheaper in America. Their current top enduro bikes cost about 9000 Euros there and $7000-$8000 here.

hahahahah 10K+ for 45mph. thats ****ing wack.

There are ways my man! The backup 450 dual sport in the garage is my best friend or at least it's plates are! If I had those bikes.

 

[tlproject7]

wait, why single crown? why why why?

 

[xy9ine]

mad barspins & tailwhips of course.

 

[Sandwich]

yeah and while you're waiting in line at the RMV I can drive my glorified moped on the sidewalk and park it where I want....depending on state of course.

I don't know, I think just for looks. The stripped down front end does look pretty sick.

 

[4xBoy]

My choice for mayhem, and yes it has a plate.
