Default GG with WP

first pic i have seen of a GG with the WP suspenders... (all beit a factory race bike). i then looked and the 2020 enduro models still have KYB (maybe b/c they were all ready making them before the merger.)

either way found it interesting, i hope they stay with the KYB, but i think odds are that they will be looking more and more like red KTM's next year (for better or worse, i have owned KTM as well and they have always been solid bikes).

GG is dead. It lives on in name only.

There is very brief interview with Sauer ktm product manager on page 14 of Australian dirtbike magazine. He confirms that gasgas will not be retaining the kyb suspension..

I've ridden the ktm tpi.. I hated it. Would get used to it after a while though I suppose. It's funny. All my friends that usually ride 4 strokes loved it while regular 2 stroke riders hated it.

I’ve seen an interview on YouTube from an Austrian motorcycle Magazin. The reporter had a talk to Stefan Pierer. He said that KTM will bring this year a red KTM with GasGas stickers. They will also downgrade the bike with cheaper suspension and other cheap components compared to KTM and Huskies. The GasGas will be a cheaper entry level bike.

Here is the link, sorry it’s in German.

Its a pure KTM rallye bike with red plastics and stickers. They already did this two years ago.

Jochi Sauer already said officially that KTM will not use KYB when they own WP.
Here is the interview for all those that haven't seen it yet.... its in English (at least it sounds similar to English)
