KTM Freeride

Anybody familiar with these? A combination, hybrid, trail/trials bike. Looks like too much fun to me.

Anyone know if they are importing them to the States?

If you want to see me demo'ing one of these, skip to 4:15

Looking forward to any input.

This article indicates that it has received EPA and CARB approval. I don't see it listed anywhere as actually being available. It sure looks like fun. Too bad it doesn't come with lights so it can be ridden on the street to the trails.

Only a matter of time then. I notice they come with headlights on some models, but you're correct about full street level lighting.

At 222 lbs. I'll throw it on my back and ride the Feej to an appropriate off road site.

Still looks like more fun than a middle aged man should be allowed to have. Short of Sofia Vegara that is.

It is definitely an interesting bike but it does have issues already. One big one is the starter. It is an electric start only. No kick back up. There have been other issues with them too if you search around but I think it would be a fun bike in certain areas.
