the insider info I have on them is yes, berg like but different and VERY good. Not surprising as the Bergs have always been very good. I was super close to owning a FE390 and I LOVED that bike. I am just sad we have one less unique choice. the funkiness was part of the draw for me. I;m sure the new "husqvarnas" will be great bikes just like the KTM and Bergs are now.
I hope the new Huskys don't come with the weird to me anyway ergos. My son had two and I've ridden a few others and never liked how they felt under me.
This is the finished Dirtbikemagazine project bike, TE300. Coming soon to DBM, can't wait to read the article.
Take the tank and plastic off and it is virtually the same bike. Well the berg has a different (plastic) subframe and different suspension. Based on the same bikes but lots of different part numbers.
I'd like the Berg more than the KTM if it had the linkage (and 300 less stickers ) . I just prefer linkage bikes. Does Berg (soon to be husky) have linkage bikes?
Interesting to see nearly all the manufacturers migrating back to silver rims. Is that just a fashion trend or some other reason?
The engine is hopped up more on the Berg, 3 more hp stock. And it has a wider ratio transmission built more for enduro than the mx track (wider than xc-w). I am pretty sure the PDS stays. Though I prefer the Berg's pds, it is highly refined and feels a lot like the linkage on the 449s.
My favorite PDS was on the FE390 Berg. Seems to work great stock. The Bergs seem to lay the shock down at a more radical angle or at least they did on the 70 degree motor bikes. - and what I was asking is does berg make a linkage model like KTM does? And might that continue on a husky version?
The 690 has a composite sub frame/fuel tank and I head from an owner of one that the mounting holes go after awhile and need new bushings. I don't like the idea of my butt or my fuel riding on a composite sub frame.
They have probably noticed that all say that of them look the "same", so it is starting to separate them. In fact, at least I look forward to seeing what comes from Husqvarna
That's not going to go over well. People are already mad about putting a few hundred into a Husky that was 1500 less then the comparable KTM, not to mention the fire sale bikes lol.
