    Well, I gotta say the Advert guys at Peirer Ind. are brilliant. The vision of the brand is crystal clear. For sure we are in a renaissance of the marque. Glad I'm on board this train.

    In a cycle news interview w/Peirer a few months back, he said big enduro changes for MY17, MXers change for 16...looking forward to seeing the changes the mx bikes get, on the enduro bikes in a year!

    I may redo my plastics to get the "new" look BNG style. But truth is I still like the 2014 graphics better than the 15&16 look.

    So the husky line still uses the old frame and the KTMs get the new frame based on the dungey replica stuff? Basically same as last year with some updates?

    I personally think your looks better. Not loving that odd blue and yellow rad shroud on the new ones. Looks old to me.

    Only the 125sx got the new frame. All 250/300 2st including mx models are still unchange. Also, ktm 4 stroke enduro bikes.are old models. Apparently mx is first and the following year enduro bikes get the major updates

    I'm excited to see the changes on big bore 2 strokes for ktm husky next year. Think about it, they're already lighter then the competition beta/sherco. Really wonder if they can/will respond considering their bikes are pretty new still. KTM really seems to have drastically raised the bar on the new 2 and 4 strokes.

    Sad to see the triple clamp offset moved to 22. The 20s turn like crazy in the tight east coast stuff.

    On all 2016 enduro bikes a new lighter 22 mm front axle with optimised axle clamp dimensions replace the previous 26 mm axle to offer improved stability and better front-end feel. Shorter axle clamp offset also helps improve fork function.

    If I'm reading this right they moved the front axle rearward in the clamping area while moving the triple clamp offset forward. I'm guessing axle moves back 2mm while triple offset moves forward 2mm. In the end it's a wash.

    Yup, offset increase to nullify axle decrease so net is 0.

    Well, look at the bright side of things! While Ktm has a year to work the bugs out of there new line up.
    That's when all that tech flows over and should be solid.
    Hope they move that 150 over to the Husky line up!

    I'd like to see them put out a 200 Husky based on the new 125/150 motor.

    I would too... No TC150, much less a TE200. I would have thought that when KTM dropped the the 150XC for '15, they would have had Husky do a TE150... no go! I pretty sure KTM is afraid that, if there is a TE200; that 200EXC/XC-W sales will plummet! A fair number of KTM guys, buy 150's and then convert them to 200's, to have a linkage 200. I bought all the parts to do a 125 to 150, from a guy who was doing just this.
