The Nambos use Sachs forks with TTX internals.

The Ohlins 888 appears to be a higher quality shock from the Ohlins USA website.

Yes the 50's are very sensitive in the seal area when it comes to dirt...

The 45 Zokes are a known quantity...if missing out a bit on the "street cred of the 50mm ones"

Hey Scot just so we know...The EC's will actually be XC's ???

will these have speedo and lights(headlamp and tail) ??


or I guess Clay will answer this in a few days?

EC's will be XC's ...due to emission regulations the bikes will come in as "competition" or "off-road only" bikes.

To qualify, the government lays out some somewhat sketchy rules related to lights, seats, warranty and so on. The XC's sneak a headlight in as an integral part of the bodywork, but the high beam is disabled.

I have a kit that adds back the high beam function, adds an LED brakelight/taillight, horn and switchgear ... enough to get legal in states like Michigan.

Thank you

I guess a guy can add a LED tailamp /mudguard and a trailtech meter during set up...I dont need to be street legal....but off road legal is a given...and to keep track of miles traveled is also nessesary

I see on the six days that the bars are renthal.....and those are not on the EC

Viet Nambo,
All of the 2011 Gas Gas offroad bikes will come with a headlight. I am still uncertain on the speedo. The spec sheet I got did not have that info. I was told there was more infor coming. Maybe it will have that info. If not, I will ask. The first two containers are scheduled to be in Savannah next week on the 7th. The arrival date was supposed to be the 5th but we were told the ship is doding that freakin hurricane! Go figure.
Sorry for no clear answer. I'll figure it out....eventually!
Clay
