The purpose for that type of seat is for you to shift your weight according to your terrain. On ruff choppy sections/ obstacles you want to sit back a little to keep the front wheel light. For cornering and accelerating with more control you want your weight in front of the power. The seat is long and flat so you can shift your weight quickly and easily. ( watch motocross a bit you’ll see).

Supermotos are the bee's knees! When they're this good, they're awesome. When they're shite (like my previous AJP PR3 240 Supermoto) they're still awesome. I regret not filming some motovlogs on the thing - it had terrible reliability but was fun as hell. You can't beat those ergos and that lack of weight! 26:17 - 28:02 That thing looks beautiful, KTM really know how to make good looking bikes.

I've got the 2014 690 smcr with an akrapovic exhaust, it sounds great and it changes the riding experience a lot, bangs and pops for for the ages

Best maintenance friendly powerfull lightweight fun bike on the market right now!👍

The reason the dash doesn't turn off is because it's not running off the bikes power. It's got it's own standalone battery. The 701 and this bike are essentially the same except the 701 has less features. The dash on both are exactly the same. They do in fact turn off after a short period of time.

Hey chase, could you explain how you take those detailed smooth shots of motorcycles and what gear you use? Love your vedios🙂

BOOTIFUL BIKE like really i like the color it is amazing

You should be sitting way up front. It puts your body in the center of the bike. Sitting back on the seat allows dramatic weight transfer. In motocross, it's used to change the weight from balanced to rear and increase the traction through burms, etc. Sitting back will also cause you to wheelie easier. You'd likely have a better experience overall sitting forward on the seat.

More Chase and Yummy series please, I loved that series it was so funny. Love the Vids keep up boiiiiiii.

If you ever get a chance to try out the ktm 125 exc with sumo tires, pls try it. It’s so fun since the power comes only whem you are at the high rpm. And damm does it wheelie! Great video btw👍🏼

I have the 2018 Enduro R (same bike more or less minus electronics and SM wheels) and the biggest complaint is false neutrals. that said, you get used to it after it scares you the first half dozen times. But it's a total hoot. Like you i don't really go off-road so i am thinking of ordering the kit to convert it to SM. Other than that, no complaints and I'm pretty fortunate it to have it.

I think the people saying it’s heaving are comparing it to 450’S and 250 dualsports with aluminum frames built for supercross tracks

Do a first ride on the 701!

lmao the dash is like from 1960s, one of the hardest seats are there and very high up sitting, there is options for aftermarket seats also like seat concepts, and come on KTM by now you would expect a freaking gear indicator but no they had to use a way smaller dash lol nice review obviously very quiet with that stock can definitely worth a aftermarket exhaust

You’re better off buying the Enduro R and buying a set of SMC rims. Then you have the best of both worlds. The SMC is not convertible like the Enduro. Did that with my 2016 and I love it. 15 minute swap from SMC to Enduro. Oh and get a Wings exhaust, seat concepts seat, Scott’s Damper.

Do you film this ride twice? Once with camera car and one without? It boggles my mind with the transitions essentially hiding a camera car.

Would you ever consider trading your WR for one of these? Or getting one in addition to it?
