Such a brilliant solution for introducing progression. If I am not mistaken, KTM's motocross models are equipped with a linkage system, so my undeducted guess would be, that the PDS is limited to a certain degree? Or maybe the characteristics are just favorable for motocross? Thanks for the video and thanks for continuing to educate the

Sei bravissimo e chiarissimo! Una bellissima sorpresa il tuo canale! I’m not traslating

Do you have a complete MX suspension valving, tuning, etc seminars/courses?

Looks just like a Huck valve?

I have definitely decided on the Lucky cartidges for my 2022 KTM 500 EXCF, but my greatest challenge are simple washboards on the dirt roads I ride between trails. At 63, my lower back ain't what it used to be. If I do not stand the entire time, my back takes a pounding on washboards. I am wondering if the National shock in the rear might help this, or just a simple re-valving of my stock WP?

Thanks a lot for this. Very nice. Tho I think yourself you don’t use PDS? Would you do another video explaining how linkage works and what advantages it gets you?

What about the rebound drop out system?

The press was going to defend Biden without him asking--no need to make it explicit.

Sole purpose of KTM PDS is the reduction of manufacturing cost. You save all the linkage, axles and bushings, because you do not really need much of the progression. Basically, PDS is doint the same as the rubberblocks by entering additional resistance. If you switch on your brain (instead of copying marketing BS), you will see the big gap between engine/fram and the rear wheel. A great place to get hooked on an obstacle without much of traction to get free again. Here, the linkage provide a much smoother are to glide and touch the wheel at a much better angle to get traction.
In general, WP is a terrible company with the only purpose to have cheap inhouse suspension parts (and control). Nothing is left of the former White Power company (now Tractive), but it's Brand name "WP".
