Have used an Ohlins 2.1 on my current 250xcw for a few years now, they're great units, but there is a loss of just a couple degrees of steering sweep, noticeable in tight off-road conditions on occasion, likely not apparent for anything moto or XC related. Requires careful set up otherwise the...

Guessing it'll be fiddly & likely require serious re-engineering to fit a damper. I asked about the phone needing to be in place & was told that yes, it has to be there to operate the bike. Uh-oh. Also was told that the upper steering stem bearing is same size as KTM, So maybe by hook or...

I think those were just on the 'show bike', & not on the ones ridden at the media event. Likely 3D printed of some sort of stainless. A neat engineering / artistic exercise but way too $$ for production. Also looks to be challenge to get a proper fork cap wrench on those .. channelocks for one...

For me the TE bars are kind of a must, they mitigate sharp/medium/large impacts very well, there's also front-to-back forces in play that go unnoticed until one tries a system that moves in those directions. For some folks the flexible or moving bar systems aren't precise enough, too mushy &...

Yes those, along with hinged & dampened bar mounts & Dal Soggio CC inserts. On the rare occasion that I ride someone else's bike it feels like a rigid front end. Have the 4X version. Wadded it up pretty good on several occasions & bars have held up fine so far. .. nobody wants a face full...

Forty thousand dollars worth of battery to get 2 bikes to the finish .. you guys are serious about competing ! Had a 250cc gas Freeride for a couple years & modified most everything in an effort to create a 205lb enduro bike. Two words for those chassis ; steering damper.

Hope the phone interface is wireless as I run a carbon composite flexible handlebar set-up ( reconstructed rotator cuff & left wrist ), the system requires a proprietary top clamp which allows for bark busters. Hoping the phone can go in a backpack. Or .. I'll have to reengineer something if...

Imagine the Horn that could be powered with all those amps of power .. ! Thinking train horn complete with a compressor, 200db, screw the weight, it'd be worth it.

Why yes, yes I do .. A locking momentary button type switch. In 'on' position I'd guess it would reverse polarity & spin everything backwards ? Mount it about anywhere, it's not needed on the fly ; throttle off / push button / reverse engages with throttle application @ highly reduced...

fsfs - in a word ; Reverse ! Give us reverse please. beep-beep-beep

What does the phrase ; 'adopted by mainstream racing' mean ? Allowed by the governing bodies - FIM, AMA & so on. ? Or .. the riding / buying public in general ? Will it be dismissed far & wide for lack of a clutch ? Guess time will tell. I have a particularly steep ravine composed of loose...

Most everything gleaned from the many 6/10 reviews is highly encouraging to say the least. Stark made available a handful of modern 450 ICE bikes for comparison purposes - what manufacturer does THAT ? Gutsy, confident decision. Of the tests I watched, no one preferred the gas bike to the...

I'm new to E-bikes & just this side of clueless, but wasn't one of the warts of the Alta an overheating issue ? So here's a manufacturer thats addressing that very problem during initial design & some want to dismiss it for various reasons ? Surely I'm missing something pertinent to that...

No - didn't modify mid. Mine was an early Flow & info was quite scarce, the dramatic difference experienced once I bolted the TTX44 on left me pretty uninterested in that Flow shock. Being fair, the Flow did work far better than any of 2 re-valves & a bladder install on the WP shock, but that...

An interesting journey .. had a similar experience when I put a 'Flow' shock on my bike. Couldn't get it to the point of being that 'bolt on magic' that the previous TTX44 iteration was. So I eventually ferreted out a 44, had it refreshed & abracadabra ; the chassis immediately felt 25% better...

To be fair, Stark has expressed interest in competing in MX & SX, don't recall hearing about the longer distance events as a focus of their competitive efforts. Those are 30min+ at their longest & it could very well be ( as stated ) that their current configuration allows for that even at the...

My only interest is in the machines performance ; chassis geometry, suspension, power modulation & weight are the things I care about.

In a recent interview on PulpMx, the company founder stated that 5000 units were sold in the 1st 6 weeks. 5000 units is quite impressive in that it factors to 60 million in sales @ 12K each, all in one and a half months ! Likely the best selling vehicle of any kind during that time. If...

Happy chubby lobos ! Perhaps the efficiencies needed for production will result in a net lowering of OA weight if only slightly. Hooray if true. Reasoning for the raised eyebrow when 'production ready components' are mentioned ; The 1997/98 KTM 200. They introduced that all new, much...

The other shoe as it were ... ? Let's just hope that the production models don't 'evolve' as a 20 lb heavier machine vis-a-vis those production ready components. That 242 claimed weight is likely an important component driving the apparent avalanche of pre-orders & overall positive industry buzz.
