It keeps being written that this bike tracks well and has very good traction ... Maybe there is something to that
according to Xoffroad in rained all day throughout the 9 hours of racing, this was the final round of the German nat enduro championship. http://www.enduro-dm.de/news_402.html Salvini with his signature powder blu helmet is shown in background of the show/extreme/indoor type section http://www.enduro-dm.de/rr.html?veranstaltung=rr_10_zschopau notice how many people are spectating even out in the woods in the rain. Enduro is huge in EU. Also nice mix of machines Husaberg, KTM, Honda, Husky etc.
