True. I rode with 7 KTM's in offroad, forest trails, mud, crosstrack style bumps etc... I did not lack any power, but bike is heavy and you simply cant ride fast enough cause bike wants to throw you over(front dampers can't absorb the bumps and rear jumps up like a mad horse) . I have hyperpro springs front and rear. I rode in mine and bike limits sometimes with them. I have stock gearing and power. Average speeds were around 50km/h in forest. Very twisty and bumpy with soft roads.
