Quick look: Latest gen WP Pro Components suspension for 50cc and 65cc off-road bikes
WP Suspension announce new aftermarket range for 50cc and 65cc KTM, Husqvarna and GASGAS machines, giving the kids scaled down versions of the Pro Components kit for “next-level control”.
It’s a fact that the a majority of the smallest petrol-powered bikes on race and practice tracks around the world are most commonly from within the KTM Group of brands, whichever off-road discipline you’re talking.
WP being part of that group it’s no surprise the Austrian brand continues to develop the Pro Components suspension to keep in-line with the latest model 50cc and 65cc machines.
The latest XACT Pro Components upgrade, specially designed for the new generation of machines launched by KTM, Husqvarna Motorcycles and GASGAS, is the same “meticulously crafted” front and rear suspension focused on significantly improving the riding experience and handling of the 50cc and 65cc machines.
