Show #511 - WP Suspension Comparison on KTM 450 FE

Keefer grabs his KTMN 450 Factory Edition and rides a couple different sets of suspension to diagnose what each strengths and weaknesses are out on several different types of tracks. Slapping on a set of WP Cone Valve/AER forks and Traxx/bladder style shocks, back to back, was the only way to see how each reacted so Keefer discuses the findings in this episode. Should you keep your AER set up on your bike? Orrrr is the Pro Components on your FE actually worth the money?
