Ktm freeride questions

Congrats on sticking with it, @Rocketz152 !!!

Coming back from an injury is not easy. Take it slow and prioritize your health first. If you need to ride a smaller bike, so be it. I was out for many years after a knee injury. After that, I realized that I still do not enjoy anything as much as motocross. So I first trained on mountain bikes 2-3 times a week and then on my CR250 for a few months until the knee stopped swelling up and became stronger. Then bought a CRF250, which felt like a moped, but this was exactly what I needed at that time. Then I bought bigger bikes to challenge me physically, which was fun, but then I sold them when I bought my first Alta!

Getting her dialed in... Just upgraded the suspension. Need to gear it up and put better tires on it...

what did you end up doing with suspension??

I ordered new fork springs and shock spring from racetech for my weight. Side note, I had to gear it back down because the bike lost too much power to only gain 3 mph.

I'm back to stock gearing (12 front 48 rear if I remember correctly).

Tires are a huge upgrade on them! I went with the Dunlop ATM. It's been a good all around tire so far this riding season.

Great bike for the back yard track only . Lot's of fun though .

Pretty sure the Freeride will massively disappoint. Not at all designed for what you want to do, that’s Alta/Varg territory.

Wrong bike for that application, that's like racing a xr200 on a mx track...lol.

Where did you get the silicone water hoses for it ?

I just bought some hose that looked to have the right curve to it . Then cut to length .

You will love the mountains. Leave it in map 3 and it will go far in single track and technical obstacle terrain

I find on single technical trails mode 2 is most effective with it linear power curve, but mode 3 is a lot of fun if riding more hard enduro stuff, easier to loft the front wheel.

Which one did you buy ? I'm trying to match it up but having a hard time since I can't physically match them up ?

Hey there-
I’ve been developing the KTM Freeride as a Supermini MX bike For 12-16 yr olds for the last few years. We run air forks and revalved rear shock and race competively at tracks in SoCal. Maybe you can benefit from our setup info.
