TE/TC Two new 2T models for 2017

air forks schmair forks fill em with helium/ noble gas and float over stuff..........
Im going to trust WP on this one like I trusted them on the 4CS forks.........
note a couple of the major suspension tuner companies are building spring retrograde kits for the Japanese KYB and Showa air forks.......sounds a lot like our reconfigure retrograde kits for the 4CS system....

the only new bike that garners my interest is the TX300..........hmmmmm

The present KTM XC tranny only moves first and second up and closer to third, when compared to XC-W. third through sixth stays the same.... so top speed is the same. I can only imagine TX and TE are the same. If you want a 100mph desert sled, you put a 14T CS on it....

TE150 replaces the TE125.

The tx300 looks pretty damn good.

I just reconfigured my TX300 back into TE300 form.....for last few months I had the TC (TX) set up on my TE300 stripped down and clean!
ie no lites , no under fender out back, TC number plate up front.
as seen on other threads- Here's my 2014 TX300............(she's back to 2015/16 TE config now again)

17's have the damn air forks.....

I wonder what it would cost to put Yamaha KYB internals in. It sucks that KTM/Husky are already 1k higher in price and then you get crap forks. The rest of the bikes in all models look awesome!

I have great hope that these WP Aer forks work.......
funny that a few of the major tuners already have reconfigure to spring kits for the Showa and KYB air fork equipped Japanese MX bikes.

I really want these forks to work.....the tech has to be there by now---F1 has had air "spring" valve trains for years now----that's sealed compressible cylinders bouncing around at 20k rpm engine speeds. Lightweight low inertia...perfect for suspension...we pray!!!

I like the cone valve system suggestion best though.....its really what practically all the top tier KTM/Husky racers use.

I have heard from a hydraulic engineer who does race suspension that the cone valve is quicker to react thus better traction (keeps the tire in contact with the ground) but the down side is that the set up is very specific to terrain and rider speed and ability in other words not as forgiving as a shim stack in the SS KYB. That's not necessarily a bad thing but to have it working at a high level you might have to tune your forks a lot more often and have different set ups for nearly every track.

No fuel injection, no oil injection, add these with electric start on a 400cc to 500cc 2T close ratio with XC suspension count me in. NO FUEL MIXING, NO JETTING I'd be in heaven.

HUSQVARNA the LEGEND CONTINUES the next chapter of championships to be won.

After what I saw on a KX450f when he blew both fork seals going downhill and did the biggest lawndart ever.... now you are only going to have one fork filled with air so if it blows your DONE..... Its ride height was like completely bottomed out and was next to impossible to ride back to the truck.... I really want one but man a YZ450FX or CRF450X is looking better and better.... But man the Husky looks sweet

How come no one has developed a fork cartrage that could be setup for exact track. Removed after the race and the one setup for the next track installed. The proper flow and adjustable valving is in each cartrage. Pop out and pop in.

Norm,
Do you have a dyno comparison of the 150 vs the 125? I trust you have done extensive research on these tiddlers.
