Australasian Dirt Bike – May 2019

http://www.adbmag.com MAY 2019 | 65

Magura brakes worked well for our test

Our testers like the WP fork but racers need it firmer

Plenty of grip and neutrally positioned

Keeping white plastics fresh, ain’t easy!

Black annodised sprockets come standard

They said it

MITCH LEES

I like the taller

’bar on the

Husky as I

am a taller

guy. Again, the engine

is just so easy to use

and its almost like an

electric motor in the

way it rolls on. I prefer

the monoshock linkage

as I find it remains a bit

more settled. Adjustable

preload on the fork is

handy too.

BEN GRABHAM:

This bike is

generally a

nice package.

There is

nothing really that stands

out as it does everything

so effortlessly. The power

is awesome and the

suspension, while soft, is

solid and overall, they’re

just a really nice bike. It is

expensive, though.

SHAUN LONEGRAN:

Like the KTM,

the engine is

very strong.

Suspension

is nice. I like the map

switch. The bike is very

fast, especially on the

fast map and the traction

control is a nice touch if

you were to get stuck on

a snotty hill.

CHRIS SPRINGETT:

Like the KTM,

it’s just easy

to ride and I

never really

had any issues on it. The

map switch is awesome

and the fast map blew me

away. Being a heavier guy,

I need heavier springs

than the stock ones.
