No, these aren't
Alex Martin's or
Ryan Dungey's
bikes, but they
can be yours.
W
e are only a few months into the year and the 2017
Factory Editions have landed. Compared to previous
Factory Editions, the differences between the stan-
dard models and the FEs are few, but as we soon found out, few
changes or not, they do make a difference on the track.
The revisions come mainly in suspension updates. The WP AER
48 fork has a new air seal, which is more wear resistant and has
less stiction. It's also been designed that, if by some slim chance
it does happen to fail in the middle of a race, the fork will continue
to do its job with little change in performance.
