This bike is engineered to compete in the EMX 125 championship, so its jumping right into the deep end of the pool. Poletti Suspension is a well known suspension shop in Italy, this is their suspension engineering firm ( at least 1 of my Italian MX friends was sponsored by them in the past). Chassis looks Honda, Suz, Kaw, TM style, swing arm looks Japanese/or TM design type. no need to reinvent the wheel. all else you can see looks aftermarket supplier stuff. I want to see more of the engine, a clone? a CR125/KX125/YZ/TM/Husky ????? Clone?? or an all new design?
Is this designed by the Swedish Husqvarna and husaberg engineers? I like the swingarm it's a rectangle box. Lots of strength and more control less flexing. The engine doesn't sound too bad too. We never know who's gonna rock the dirtbike world next with a better bike. Me personally would like to see a Swedish built bike again. Let's hope so.
Ron that's where I was at as well. Honda CR125. Maybe reverse engineered, why not? I would do the same all the engineering costs are already spent by Honda .....just clone their best 125 or whichever one you want to use. That branch of the Honda tree is dead so take a piece and graft onto your tree. This is just a guess, because the late model TMs have a Honda style twin spar alloy perimeter chassis as well. BTW TM does sell their engines to the right buyer, meaning, in quantity.
They are partnered with these suspension tuning guys (very well known in Italia and EU) http://www.polettiracing.it/Sospensioni.htm They also mention on their youtube channel that they are using this product in their engine (It's added into the fuel with the normal oil mix). 1 time treatment according to what is instructed. http://www.rvsmaster.com/products.html#2stroke
Japan patterns last 10 years just like the front brake hose routing..... CR was a great bike.... something weird with the plastic/graphics almost looks photoshopped
Little article on it in today's racerX. Looks like no previous Husky or Husaberg folks were involved. http://racerxonline.com/2017/07/31/where-are-they-now-anders-ljunggren
I should of known better that the older husky and berg engineers wouldn't be involved there probably too old now.
From my understanding anyone can buy a replacement Tm engine right now in stock with the USA Tm importer..looked at a 17 this weekend.... Ridiculous clutch pull....enough to rule bike out of my future... Otherwise nice but frame (there own..) Is getting old school as well...
well they plan to race at the Swede Udevalla MXGP this month in the FIM EMX125 class.....that's deep waters to join the swim in.
I would love more info. Power plant? Frame & swingarm? Are they copies or original designs? Guess we'll have to wait to see....
Looks old school cr125(plastics/frame/brake discs). Wish them well I'm sure the production bike will look a lot more modern. Enduro bikes too(250 could easily become a 300!)
