When Cycle World is inviting drivers to KTM Freeride press introduction near San Diego, they're very eager to test this new model.
Coming from a background of the experiment, they can appreciate the ability of bike pure competition.
But there are times when they hope their not-so-special bike for riding free. Have a seat, for beginners, it would be nice.
They also race the AMA Endurocross, and bicycle racing often wish they had more trial-like characteristics for the rough stuff.
With the new Freeride, I feel like the KTM has designed and built the bike of their dreams. Time to take a ride into the future!
