First Ride on the All New 2016 KTM’s

As all of the North American media gathered at Ironman Raceway in Crawfordsville, IN today for the official 2016 KTM press launch, there was a lot of excitement surrounding these brand new bikes. With changes such as better handling, more power and reduced weight, these 2016 KTM’s are on the cutting edge of technology. With this being a two day press launch, all of the media had today and also tomorrow to put these bikes through their paces.

Today I spent time on the 2016 KTM 450 SX-F, the 350 SX-F and also the 250 SX-F, each new bike while different in a few obvious ways, all shared the same great handling, smooth and easy to use power and also the strongest brakes I’ve ever felt. On a track that feature deep rutted corners, large jumps and power robbing hills, the super light 2016 KTM’s performed amazing in all areas. Look for a full write next week on all of the new bikes from the Orange Brigade, however in the meantime here are some cool photos from today taken by legendary photographer Simon Cudby.
