That does look very nice for off-road.

Now if you could just give one with each KTM road bike you sell - - - - - - ;)

I like that alot. :)

I never thought that I'd say this, but KTM have produced a bike that has at last caught my eye.

First glance at the photo I thought that it looked like a Focus Thron, but a quick look at the Thron, the similarities are aren't really there at all.

Ugly and bulky headstock shape aside, it looks to be a very nice bike.
Nice and un cluttered looking frame shape.
Ground clearance appears good, although it could benefit from a bash plate to the motor.
The wheelbase also appears to be nice and short, and I'm guessing 27.5 wheels.
The rear shock looks nice and tight to the frame, so should keep reasonably crud free.
Rocket Ron's are a very good choice of OE tyres. It would have been lovely to have seen it sitting on a pair of Crank Brothers Iodine 3 wheels, but that would add to cost.
Orange and black... After owning an EXC200 a who couldn't like that colour. :)

Priced competitively it should sell very well indeed.

In relation to price, assuming that it is priced between 3k-3.5k German market buying aside, it will be pitched against the...

Cube stereo which is amazing value for money with Fox front and rear end. Price 3.2k

The Haibike FS AMT 26", which in the scheme of things is nice, but doesn't rock, and also runs 26" price 3.5k

The Moustache Samedi FS 27 I know nothing about. Price 3.4k

Along with the Cube, the Giant Full-E is probably the next threat. The Yamaha motor looks superb, and with 60Nm of torque and an 11.1ah battery it has much to offer. Price 3.6k

The Focus Thron is an 'S' spec, so that can be discounted.

At the moment we don't have much info on it.

It will have a 400w battery, and I'm confident it will be performance line Bosch, and uk road legal.

Price is set to be less than €4000 so we're hoping under 3.5k in £

It's a top spec, fox, xtr etc etc so we are confident it'll be good value.

I will post more details as soon as we have them.

Cheers
