ma Whilst we expect the new 250/350 and 450 style motors to make the transition into enduro, gaining six-speed gearboxes and subtle adjustments to tune on the way, we’re not yet certain about whether the new chassis technology will be carried across as well. The 2016 ‘crossers are using hydro-formed frames and air forks. And of course the SXs all have linkage suspension whereas the EXCs traditionally retain PDS. Air forks have yet to appear on enduro models so we have no marker as to whether they’ll work in this environment. More likely for the EXCs would be a switch to the WP 4CS shock, which is currently reserved for the Six Days models (and Husqvarnas), and retention of the PDS - albeit probably with the new frame design as well. And as we’ve already stated we are inching ever closer to tightening emissions regulations that could potentially change our bikes forever. The next significant date in EU legislation is 1 Jan 2017 - actually not for emissions, but for the mandatory application of ABS on all motorcycles registerable for road use. That shouldn’t necessarily be an issue - some might recall how the former (Italian-German) Husqvarna showcased ABS on their TE models and how well that worked with minimal impact on weight or performance; whilst under their new owners, Husky have already released the 701 trailie which features a fullyswitchable ABS system. Many riders - myself included - felt it to be a step forward in terms of safety. So no major issues there.
