The first 2017 KTM bikes are now arriving at CycleBuy KTM Husqvarna in Albany, and the 2017's are 3 pounds lighter than the amazing 2016 450 XC-F. The 2017 KTM 450 XC-F features a revised engine map switch that now selects between two engine maps, operates launch control and activates a new traction control feature to prevent unnecessary wheelspin in slippery conditions. MXA magazine had this to say about the new KTM air forks, "In truth, they are a vast improvement over any other air fork on the market. They offer more overall comfort, ease of use and adjustability than Showa TAC or KYB PSF-2 air forks. They absorb bumps with a suppleness never felt in previous air forks and don't clank through braking bumps (although they make a strange noise when slapped down). And, unlike the typical air fork, the WP AER forks maintain decent contact with the ground--following it as opposed to resisting it. Not only do they work well, but they are the most creative air forks made. There is no playing hopscotch with three different air chambers or Tiddlywinks with a potpourri of unfathomable clickers. The WP AER fork has one Schrader valve, which translates into a single set-it-and-forget-it air pressure. The balance chamber, which controls top-out on the return stroke, has no moving parts and is foolproof and invisible. As for clickers, there is one on the top of the right fork cap and one underneath the right fork leg." Is this the year you get a new KTM?
