It doesn't appear to have any steering....given the ground clearance, that's probably wise.

Appears to be twin cow horn things - not attached to a central steering stem like regular bars.

It's possibly on air bags..... but it isn't going round corners on those tyres

[KungFooBob]

They ride it at the end, but there's not many corners.

The suspension is adjustable to compensate for the weight of the rider.

It’s so cool the block in the blazer/cardigan ensemble has to play with his willy while he looks at it.





And why stop there!

Needs more CARBON!!!!!













At least it's got RWU forks.

[Jody]

They've gone to a lot of effort, I wonder why they didn't go for a full tank cover?

[Yorick]

Me and my enduro pals are just discussing this. If it was on this island one of us would have bought it.
But we're not sure how good an auto box is on an enduro bike ???

Eccentric adjuster on left side and conventional on the right. That's odd. (ha)

Husky had a lot of success with autos in the eighties. Can't remember the name of the guy that rode for them but I;m sure they won championships. Larry Roesler maybe...?

I think the advert is misleading. Can't find any auto Huskies. He probably has the auto clutch thingy

Rekluse are great, especially in tight technical going. Take a bit of getting used to but once you 'get them' they make life so much easier.

The clutch cover is worth it on its own. A lot stronger than standard and increases the oil capacity.

Do you lose engine braking ?

[KungFooBob]

IIRC it's centrifugal, the clutch only activates when the revs drop to tick over. So you should still get engine braking... until the revs drop.

Cool. I'm having trouble with left hand and fingers, but ATM it's good exercise. But maybe in future.

Thats the bit that takes some getting used to. As long as the revs are up, then no you don't lose engine braking, however if you let the revs drop then the clutch disengages which is fun on really steep descents as the bike takes off, only requires a blip of throttle then it re-engages and you've got engine braking. Once you get used to it it's not an issue.

They really come into their own on rocky bits as you just don't bother with the clutch, like riding a twist and go scooter.

The clutch is still there if you want to use it like a normal one, even now I use the lever for pulling away on the road, force of habit.

Pop over and I'll show you some terrain you've never ridden
