[QUOTE="KTM400MAN, post: 134779, member: 19758"] KTM does know what they're doing, and they are putting the proper equipment on the enduro models. I was just talking with my good friend and Pro mx'er Craig Davis about the new forks and shock on the 2002's. He already has been racing with the 2002 setup for three months now, and he says that the larger forks arent really much better, and that only pro-level racers could tell the difference anyway. He says that they were really made for jumpy SX style tracks and are really a little too rigid for mx style tracks. He said that you should have some flex in the forks on rough tracks and gp style courses and that bigger isn't always better. He said that the most noticeable improvement is in the new shock. As for the swing arm, KTM had problems with swingarms breaking on the sx models from hard landings on huge jumps. The average trail rider or enduro racer isn't casing from coming up short on 90 ft jumps. Maybe KTM will phase out the exc style swingarms over time though. As for the new bodywork, trust me, you aren't missing anything. The seat and tank are too narrow and the tank doesn't hold enough fuel for a short trailride. It is MX specific only. The EXC style seat and tank are much more user friendly. As for the 520sx and a six speed? Forget it! It's just not necessary for mx racing. Erik [/QUOTE]
