ross brown Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 Off topoc, but that is one serious clutch mod on the Yamaha right there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
collyolly Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 What is the clutch mod ? Is that not a reservoir for the rear shock ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddie_lejeune Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 What is the clutch mod ? Is that not a reservoir for the rear shock ? Yes that is the rear shock reservoir. But if you look close you can see beta parts in there. That yamaha is a nice modification of the old scorpa, that pic I think is about 4 years old but in reality all it is ever is or will be is a highly modified scorpa or a bitsa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadof2 Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 If they wanted to, KTM would have no problem making a trials bike either 2T or 4T. I once heard the KTM make or made the BETA 4T trial engines, anyone know if that is true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biffsgasgas Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 KTM Has already made a trials bike. It was called a penton. --Biff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cascao Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 Best start with GasGas tecnology than trying something 100% new. Look that Freeride 350.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_earle Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 KTM should buy GG and make them the same as they are.. They could even make them Orange and sticker them as KTM and people, including me, will still buy them as they are a proven design by a big company and not a fly by night new brand. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miner Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 KTM trials bike would be an interesting proposition.... coming from Honda road bikes, to KTM enduro bikes and onto my first trials bike in the form of a Gas Gas (partly what was available here, partly fond memories of watching Raga on Eurosport doing the indoor events), I'd be glad to see a GG that comes with KTM style owners and workshop manuals (including excellent jetting tables), online parts fiche, easy access to dealers and spares all round the world, not having to wait months if you crack a rim... sounds great! Honda much the same... less upkeep, don't care if Toni Bou is riding one though, those big tractors don't excite me. Freeride gets mixed reviews on KTM forums but guess they are looking at it from an OE-blinged up Enduro/MX perspective.... watched a promo video of James Whittam and one of the Lowes brothers having a ball on them round some woodlands.... looked great. Think unfortunately the best new bike KTM could make has already been invented by Vertigo though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brewtus Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 This is on the Trials thread on ADV as well. The Orange Kool-Aid drinkers are all agog over it, some even saying that a Katoom Trialer would increase interest in the sport "by 50%". Yeah, okay. Evidently there is a prototype (the one in the pic posted earlier is not it), but no guarantees that KTM will move forward with it. We'll see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcrhino Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 Could it be that Stefan Pierer convinced Joan Gurt to sell Ossa...? KTM has the knowledge and money to improve the Ossa and make it orange. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
