A few big takeaways compared to my MM450;
If they can get a race class going based on these with a big enough following, they will be a hit. If not, they'll very likely die the same slow death most others have unfortunately. They really need to be doing demos at SX rounds, and be tied in with Monster Energy SX, Promotocross championship, and US Supermoto rounds. Get a scale SX, MX, and SM series going on a national level that is ROAR sanctioned.
- Flywheel is at the bottom of the frame at the lowest possible COG, compared to in the rear wheel on my MM450. The later MM450s had an electric flywheel, and were much easier to control vs the mechanical flywheel in the first gen.
- Flywheel and stability control have different modes, including wheelie mode. Super cool, and I'm wondering and waiting to see in reviews if this solves the low-speed counter steer issue on other bikes.
- Breakaway rear fender. Fenders were the first thing to break on most the first time you looped it.
- Front end designed to give during impacts.
- Rising rate rear suspension so it can be plush for braking bumps etc., and still take the big hits. Much easier suspension tuning.
- Worked with both Dunlop and Pro Line for tires. That may sound simple, but it's HUGE.
- Better battery layout for better balance. The MM450 packs stood vertically in the front right behind the forks, making suspension setup harder.
- They already have a selection of tires, and hopup parts available. And the supermoto tire set looks legit compared to the 1:1
If I end up with one of these, which will definitely happen after I get a plane in the paddock, it will certainly be setup Supermoto. When I first saw it immediately my mind went to “Where I can get slicks?”Tires are in.

Might pick one up and paint like a KTM 500 EXC.
Indeed. Envision speed runs in the future for this package on SuperMoto tires. Flywheel gyro/stabilizing system should make for stable high-speed runs. Be a hoot to do.If I end up with one of these, which will definitely happen after I get a plane in the paddock, it will certainly be setup Supermoto.

I want a sm KTM and a dirt kawasaki. As for slicks, I've been creating my own since a younging. Sweet spot between treads and belts.If I end up with one of these, which will definitely happen after I get a plane in the paddock, it will certainly be setup Supermoto.

Isn't it cool when something comes along and gets the fire going again?After watching the in-depth video and some of the upgrade vids I’m completely blown away! I haven’t been this excited about a surface RC for quite some time. The last thing I need atm is another RC… but this is just too damn cool. I’m seriously thinking of what I can sell, trade or steal in order to get my grubby hands on one of these magnificent pieces of kit!!
Someone please talk me off the ledge..
Nordy: Don't even think about it!......I’m seriously thinking of what I can sell, trade or......
