Always a touchy subject the PDS from KTM..
Maybe for the pro-racer the PDS can be a handful but I have to question why the KTM’s do so well in the WEC, FIM indoor and even single races such as Erzberg and last man Standing.
There are always those that froth at the mouth and start jibbering when it comes to the PDS. But really, how many riders here and on other forums would ever take the PDS past its performance limits ? Not many… For the weekend warrior they work well and are almost maintenance free, sure they have got their niggly traits but once you get used to them you know what to look for, and you know when the rear is going to jump around on you..
Quote:equal capacity classes, 500 2t with a mild torquey power delivery in a modern chassis will eat the equivalent 4T alive in MX & SX…I am not sure what the above is, what is equivalent.. capacity ?
.. all you are saying is that if we get a modern bike, whack in a docile 500 2t and it would be fast.. well duh!! Of course it will as it has got more power, less weight and more then likely it can get most of that power to the ground..
In the end it is each to their own.. But when I buy a new bike, I hope you don’t mind if I ignore the PDS bashers and buy another Orange..
