2017 WP OFF-ROAD SUSPENSION
PRODUCT LAUNCH
P130
just how you want them. Our
favorite and the most-impressive
bike transformation of the day for
the single-track course was the
Beta 430 RR. No longer was it
an ultra-squishy, slower speed
single-track bike, with the WP
components it felt more bal-
anced, lighter and more respon-
sive while still providing comfort
and performance. Similarly, the
2017 KTM 250 XC-W on site
turned from a softer trail bike
(stock) to a full-blown race setup
with the high-end WP compo-
nents. Pretty cool.
We didn't have the opportunity
to ride the WP AER48 spring kit,
which drops in easily as a re-
placement and turns the AER48
air fork into a traditional spring
fork, but we are looking forward
to testing it soon.
Anyone can get the most
premium WP components now.
The goods usually reserved for
the Factory KTM and Husqvar-
na racers, or consumers on
those bikes looking for seri-
ous upgrades. And that's big
news. WP's motto is #getinfront,
so if you are a social media lov-
er, check the hashtag, tag your
WP experiences and drool over
what premium suspension is out
there. Maybe you're ready? CN
WP also
offers spring
conversion kits
to change your
air forks into
spring forks.
