    Great review. I'm on the GG EC250, I don't like brakes that crap too much, I have the stock braketec brakes and I prefer them to the Brembo , and the clutch I think is better than the Brembo, the modulation point never changes with heat, never get clutch drag, there great.

    My friend was pretty disappointed when the Husky he ordered came in with Braketec, he founds some Brembos for a good price on a snowbike web site. Some people build a snowbike and don't ever plan on putting the wheels back on and sell off the wheels and brakes for a good price.

    Thanks for your video, its very interesting and good explain. For me this brake are very expensive, I have a money for the live and the broken motorbike parts 😅. In front I put a nissin the old gas-gas bike and brake very strong more than new brembo braked Im very happy. In otherside I think If you use a 12-tooth sprocket, you will quickly wear out the chain sliders. For the suspension chapter, I use softer springs, more suited for enduro. The stock springs that come with the bike are motocross springs. So, there's always a part of the suspension that we don't use, even on the hardest descents. For the rear suspension, there's a rod parts in aftermarket with a Casima coating that can be replaced and re-valved it is not expensive suspension rod. It looks like in motorbike. Additionally, in the front suspension, by removing the stock motocross springs, you can install cone Valve forks just the tubes, which come with a black anti-friction system, (looks more like in husky pro version with black chassis) and take the opportunity to re-valve. I hope these comments help you in your research on suspensions. Greetings from the north of Spain

The theory (common knowledge from internet ;-)) is that fixed rotor and floating caliper is the way to go on dirt bike. The reason i am asking is that I consider changing rotor size in my Honda CRF250L and aftermarket/bigger rotors avalilable to me are usually floating. Tkank you

    Hey! One question regarding lugging the bike without moving it on a steep uphill, when you've lost momentum but just want to hold the bike on the clutch so that it doesn't roll down - what can you suggest apart from the usual clutch drills to improve my problem... When I'm on quite steep stuff with limestone/silt on top of it, or similar, I seem to struggle holding the bike on the clutch, because if I give a bit too much gas or let the clutch out a bit too much the tire spins, whilst if I try to hold the clutch in decently but give small throttle so that rpms are nice and low, I usually stall the bike and then, as you can understand, the situation become bad quite fast... Do I just need to give more throttle with the clutch almost completely in to provide enough power to the engine so that it doesn't stall whilst at the same time because of the clutch almost in only tiny bit of power is transferred to the ground to not break traction, or is there something else I should be doing/practicing? Thanks!

Couldn't even imagine them doing that since the brakes are shipped on them. I really do think the gasgas were just spare parts that year and they ran out of braketec.

"making the worst, the best' not "replacing with the best".. I'd be bummed if I spent $10K on a Brand New bike, then had to add another $1000 just to get the brakes to work :(

    Another keyboard internet lame attempt to make a good point. When it comes to KTM and China, KTM is only moving assembly production of one street bike, not any of it's dirt bikes.. Also, Braktec is not china. And last, the KTM group provides different choices on their bikes so people don't have the exact same set up on every model. Regardless KTM looks to go back to Brembo on Husky in 2025, a lot of non pro Husky's for 2023 did come with Brembo. And last, all KTM models are already Brembo equipped.
