I've known Jeremy Wilkey at MX-Tech for a LONGGG time and he has NEVER paid for a review. He's good enough with KTM suspension to be the factory's choice for their National SuperMoto team. If you are going to smear a company's reputation out here you damn sure better get your facts straight.

I know for sure it was NOT a paid review, like an advertisement !!!
That was a good article But it did not even mention that Jeremy sent out 2 KTM 250 SXF's for the test . One moded out and one completely stock to give an honest back to back comparison .
I agree with Rich , get your facts straight

sorry guys, but you cant have it both ways. MXA is constantly blasted by this website for its substandard tech articles and bike reviews. then they review a company that is affiliated with this site and they give it a good review and all is well!\

i am sure the MXT KTM suspension is world class, but i seem to remember the review said they used $2000 works WP forks.....i bet if you put $2000 into the suspension of any bike it would be pretty damn good.

He can rip MXA all he wants because I don't think their recommendation means SQUAT due to their totally substandard approach to testing. I would have the same objections if he had said Enzo or Factory Connection paid for a review.

Unlike some out here I don't buy into the grand conspiracy that MXA sells reviews to anyone. I think their decisions are based more on whim and whimsy than any sort of consistent or reliable test method. My guess is they are honest but clueless in a lot of ways.

When someone comes out here and accuses ANY hard working company of backhanded BS, I'll consistently throw the flag.

i had no intention of putting down any company..wrong wording from me...excuse..but not everyone has the bucks to purchase the setup that was reviewed and it does not fall into the catagory of the average joe motocrosser budget,what type of rider was this setup intended for,someone who could not afford Ohlins...just throwing out food for thought...only wanted feedback from riders on a budget who do not have the TRY AND TOSS money...sorry


Posted by: Pete Payne---------------------

Food for thought --These are the standard issue forks for the 07 KTM SX's and SXF's .


Posted by: lynch racing---------------------

KTM had that fork on it`s 2006 VM bikes last year(Pichon,Tortelli,Barragan),we have been seeing the new 2007 models over here for a year now,there are already USED 2007 models for sale over here.Of course it would show up over there on the next model run,Doesn`t matter ,it was what was needed and KTM and WP stepped up to the plate and and delivered.Not slagging MX-tech at all-OK!
