From my experience dealers have little to no information in regards to what the manufacturers are actually doing. Its been a while but I used to work for a multi manufacture dealer, Kawi/Honda/KTM/Can Am (BRP) and we never knew what was going on with new models until it was time to send in orders, and most of that info was not passed down to the actual employees you are talking to. I was there for the first year of the FI CRF line and we didnt even know they were coming until I read it in a magazine and then found out later from Honda. I am not saying dealers have no info but I would not consider them the experts most think they should be. Also take into account who you are talking to, in my experience the sales staff on the floor were the least informed of all.

Does any of it matter? GG enduro bikes won't ever be the real GG ever again under KTM. <sigh>

Like it or not. GasGas would be dead without KTM's intervention.
Sad that there's no accountability for the management team that caused this.

You misunderstand. GG are dead. Slapping GG on the side of a KTM does not save the bikes we love.

True.
We can just say that they are extinct.

Just confirmed in our latest dirt bike magazine that gasgas/ktm will no longer have kyb. I was hoping there was a slim chance they would keep it on the new bikes but it is now confirmed it will be wp front n rear like all other ktm bikes..

Supposedly, (Before the KTM acquisition) GasGas was set to release an all new engine in 2021.
I wonder what happened to that engine?
