with its crisp, responsive and idiot-proof
power delivery.
The rest of the machine is normal Husky... which
really means bloody great. I’m going to stick my
neck out and say I prefer the PDS rear suspension
on the KTM to the linkage set-up on the Husky for
enduro work. I’m not sure whether it’s my weight
or what, but for me the PDS system is plusher,
more controlled and more bottom resistant.
By comparison the TE was too soft in Woodhill
sand whoops for me and then a little harsh in
Riverhead’s hard packed clay even with a little
clicker fiddling. However, I’m way over the weight
spec for the standard springs and I’m talking
about subtle differences here, not big ones.
