Yes, the $1K price increase for this model would be my choice if I were to buy a Husky. The Pro-Tapers look very similar to a McGrath bend which is cool.
Another great video on a new bike ! On an FYI side note though, whoever is editing , please pay attention to the add-in music volume, The music is always a little too loud, and I could not even hear what you were saying at the end of the video. Thanks
It looks like a nice bike! It’s crazy to think you pay 11.5k and you still need to pay for a subscription on top of that to tap into all of its features…
Great to see the 250 Factory bikes back… I almost went 22.5 250SX-F after a life on two strokes… until they announced the 23 300SX. So I bought that and turned it into a 22.5 250 Factory replica. 🤘😄 Our local motocross track is now closed though…🥹
Ignore the grammar errors below, but…. A serious question for us normies that ride a lot but aren’t testers or A guys with great speed and feel. And by ride a lot, I do 100+hr /year for instance. Not 3 track days and some trail riding. If no one ever alluded to the more rigid frame and chassis components on the ‘23 bikes, what would us B/C amateurs (majority of racers I’d suspect) actually say the difference was between a ‘22 to ‘23 and now the ‘23 to ‘24.5/‘25? It’s a serious question - would we feel more rigidity in the bars/hands/seat, more left and right deflection from the front and rear, better or worse corner stability, harder or easier lean in, less or more front lean angle traction, less or more rear lean angle traction under acceleration?
Cool bike I find it more fun to personalize a bike myself tho. Sure it loaded. You dont see em at tracks tho likely because price is high and availability
Now that the austrian group is putting spring forks on the cross country racer line (like the XC-F models), why don't they put them on the motocross models? I know it will add some extra weight, but after already gaining weight last year who cares. Outside of MXA, most of the other outlets all make mention of not being fans of the air forks and wishing they would go back to a conventional spring fork. I think if they did that and really got a good setting dialed in, then these bikes would be top of the class.
My only gripe is they install technology on the bike that you pay for. Then they want you to pay a monthly or yearly fee to use your equipment. Blasphemy
Is it though just think how much this unit cost to develop. Also you still get updates for the next 15ish years so i think it’s actually a cheap thing. Well there might be a option to one time pay but keep in mind the sum is way higher than what you’d like.
Expensive…really pleased with the telemetry like element though…MXA do you see this type of technology being used in the sport in the near future…a la moto gp
We definitely see it being used more. Some riders will love it and some riders won't use it at all. Just depends on how analytical you are and if you like paying attention to details like that.
Is the Husky going to look the same forever? The bike gets redesigned every couple years or so, but still somehow looks exactly the same as it did when KTM first took it over.
