No Linkage !!!

[vazza]

Yeah already have this all over my facebook.

As soon as they are available for preorder I'm in there! Saving big time haha. By far the sexiest bike I have ever seen.

Yamaha did this long ago

[oldskool]

Nice grafix, makes the bike look sharp if anything.

[FlangMasterJ]

What a weapon!

[Katoomer]

So now we just have to wait for a year or so I guess.
If they're available soon I'm keen but I'm not a patient person.
After waiting for the RC4s (07 onwards) to arrive I'm not waiting so long again.

[vazza]

I am told mid next year.. Will be keeping an eye on these that's for sure.

It will be around september again I expect. Some demos may arrive earlier though They are going to be bloody popular so I expect it will be hard to get here like the MX version due to worldwide demand. I met someone a couple of weeks ago who couldn't be bothered waiting so he bought one in from the States.

Word is May/June production for July arrival although there may be a delay due to the ADR (Aussie Design Rule) compliance KTM NZ are looking at bringing in the XC version to do away with extra cost and delay What does everyone think? Do we need lights and a road kit?

[vazza]

The XC version would have a linkage no?

[Reckless]

Now that would almost tempt me to go four stroke!!

Very nice!

[takitimu]

The XC version would have a linkage no?

Would that worry you ?

[peadub]

The XC version would have a linkage no?

Most likely as they're based on the SX!

sweet, much prefer the sx type setup without extra lights and handlebar switches.

had a sit on the 350sx at TSS last weekend, just felt so much smaller and lighter than my 450exc. but would prefer a slightly detuned version for hopefully a longer life and less maintenance.

semi serious about finding another job just so i can cash in my holiday pay to put toward it.

[vazza]

Would that worry you ?

I would prefer PDS to be honest.

I dunno, probably doesn't matter. It's just one more thing to maintain. Getting your linkage done isn't exactly cheap.

Engine wise what would the difference be between the 350XC & 350EXC-F? Just ratios slightly different?

[flyingcr250]

this time i will be the first one on the list at my local bike shop!!!!

[green machine]

Be good if they came with all the extra fruit like the one in the photos

[Honda136]

That's a photo of the factory one, I don't think it would come with any of those bits. Especially not the exhaust system, factory SXS suspension, Renthal Twinwall's, the graphic kit and factory wheel set etc.


I think it would like very similar to that of a standard 2011 KTM 350SXF, obviously with the enduro set up.

KTM 350EXC-F

For those of you who cant (or are too fat) make a 250f scream, are too scared of the smooth (boring) power of a 450, and cant handle the power of a two stroke, we have created the perfect pansy bike (ask Mike Allessi, the biggest pansy of all).

Limited edition pink model, for those man enough to admit their riding a chicks bike

First 100 orders come with 2 KTM friendship bracelets, a limited edition pink KTM toaster, and a 12" big black KTM branded dildo

From what I've read, the PDS linkless system works much better in XC use than SX (possibly came from KTM talking about the 350SX-F). So I'd expect the EXC and XC both to be linkless PDS.

as long as the XC version is cheaper than the EXC version due to not having lights and road gearing......

[little.whittle]

They should be the same price as the SX The only extra component is the sidestand The 150 XC and SX currently have the same list price
