Yes. Exactly what OTR are selling, minus the disc and sprocket.

The disc and sprocket are KTM EXC pattern, and probably about �50-60 to buy separately.

I had no particular concerns about giving my money to Talon based on their reputation, and I'm still not really concerned having read the thread on the link posted, because it seems to relate entirely to 9x0 twins.

The Talon cush-drive setup is the de facto standard for Dakar. JMo had exactly the same rear wheel I am ordering and did the Heroes-Legend.

It may turn out that Talon have made a mistake and not beefed the design up enough for the 100+bhp twins - no conclusions seem to have been aired on that thread, so presumably they're still engaged in private discussion with the people they've sold wheels to.

However for a <50bhp single, I'm not worried. I've still ordered a spare set of rubbers (as well as bearings and seals) to take with me to the US though
