DAKAR | CRAIG KEYWORTH<br />
SWB<br />
Rally bikes of old were a good deal longer<br />
wheelbase than a standard enduro model. To<br />
counter lateral movement induced by high speed/<br />
huge (relative) power and in a bid to mitigate the<br />
high-speed tank slapper type crashes, but this<br />
latest incarnation is no longer than my standard<br />
FE. It fits great in the van, but more usefully<br />
handles like an enduro bike.<br />
NON-TRICK WHEELS?!<br />
I do like trick looking wheels. Yet you’ll notice<br />
that pretty much all of the top riders on these<br />
Husqvarna/KTM’s use the ‘standard’ fare. Cast hubs,<br />
c/w cush drive (rubber mounted) sprockets, plain<br />
gauge spokes and DID rims. You probably can’t<br />
go wrong with this for longevity. I’d suggest this<br />
is probably exclusive to the rally bikes. I doubt it’s<br />
contractual. Again, good enough for Toby Price<br />
means good enough for me.<br />
