the friggan thing just shreds....and thats all i gotta say about that. Im still spooled up after todays ride post socal rain-with pure hero dirt and only one other crew mate on his kato400exc.
here I joined a little end of the day finish ride for a menage a trois Husky ride after my kato 400 crew member split for the casa 1 TE450(Luke) 1 TE449(Ahmed) and the little old TXC310R(Accio)... H cam on Lukes 06 TE450 for our viewing pleasure. trails were rained on and lots had no tracks!! just bitchen. 310 rails!!! View: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7d1O4pONb3w&feature=youtu.be
I enjoyed that ride thanx for bringing me along. The 310 looks interesting, hope we can still buy one. LOL.
I would have also taken option B near the end of the ride. Those rock mountains : I would be scared for me and my bike! Thanks for posting it up and you three with your e-start bikes.....I'm jealous.
Pretty much what my brother said about our 310R after the first race at Eddieville, 6 Hour Team endurance....and that is after riding a 511 last year !! Bone stock power so far, FMF silencer goes on this week.
The 2012 TXC is fantastic and if the 13 is better it is to bad they are ending the line. The KYB fork and shock are the main reason, then the motor is a close second.
I would have taken the hard route at the end lol it looked pretty do able! but than again I live in the east coast where nasty knarly terrain is the norm lol and we like that kind of stuff, plus I ride a 310
The TXC310 just took the overall at a local race here in WA, in a 2-1/2 hour hare scramble on a sandy wide open desert course... The bike must be slow to beat all those 450's in the pro class. Later,
Its just speculation, but its very likely to happen. Stefan Pierer (KTM ceo) wants to use common platforms to build different brands. Husaberg's 70deg engine was discontinued last year and replaced with the KTM 350... same is likely to happen to the TE310R. Perhaps in 2015 it will be a te350.
I don't think we'll see the KTM engines in the Husky's, they've got away with it once with Berg but it would just be rediculous to try it again. I really think we'll see Husky going along a separate path, maybe R&D will be linked but end product will be different.
Unfortunately I think your wrong. The new owner says a lot of sharing and the motor is the super expensive hard to make your money back part so when he says share he means motors. The glimmer of hope is maybe he realizes how fantastic that little motor is and continues it. We will see.
Merge racing RRS were recomended to me by MikeB. They are worth the $50 and 15 mins it takes to put them in the forks. Adds plushness and traction without causing it to bottom out. I was tottaly impressed with them when I put them in. I would rate them as a must on the KYBs makes a great fork outstanding.
I kinda scared myself on my 12TXC310 last weekend. A right hander snuck up on me going too fast, so while waiting for the crash I threw it into the turn & next thing I know I'm getting ready for the next turn wondering what the hell happened
Since motor development is the most expensive part of development. It seem to me that they would take the best of what husky already has and continue to refine it ? If the development of the 14 Husky's was already done. I think we are going to see those bikes. We will know for sure in a couple months
