BK officially a KTM ambassador. Now we wait to see if he finally gets that Supercross start he’s always wanted

Good luck with that! BK can ride a dirt bike, but he's no Palmer.

Maybe they'll let him race with the KTM supercross futures.Wink

Harry Molloy to Continental Nukeproof? 

Based on anything?

It looks like it's a team they are building if they're managed to get Ronan Dunne to stay, so Harry as an experienced rider/manager/coach could be a good fit, especially if Vero also comes. Harry and Chris Cummins were riding together in Morzine this summer.

It’s a shame there isn’t more value in what the 50:01 guys do. After downhill racing, the stuff they do is what i love watching the most. I gladly paid for their most recent video. Really wish there were more raw skate/bmx style MTB vids. MTB doesn’t have as much of a “core” audience as bmx and skate, so i get why the YT/influencer type stuff works, but would love to see a shift in content towards stuff like 50:01 vids, tea and biscuit vids, even the vital raw stuff is cooler to watch than most MTB content.  Let the riding speak for itself in 2023. 

Each to their own, but I think they're lucky to be able to make a living off what they do. Compare it to what BMX riders are churning out on a regular basis and the riding and production is pretty basic.

He was riding what looked to be a Nukeproof on his Instagram story, could be nothing though Dry

Also you can just see the front of a renthal stem. I know of one company that uses renthal on their builds. YT.

Holy cow. It might not be the stem you need to pay attention to.
That looks like a specialized cannibal tyre!!!! 

That would be because it is a Maxxis Minion DHR II and the Cannibal closely resembles a DHR II.

Actually, they don't. They are just licensing the KTM brand name to another company (which makes mountainbikes).

I’ve noticed that Ronan is on rockshox components now. Maybe they bring the factory seam team into with booker and hill and Ronan? That’s a pretty stacked team. And Louis Anne

I believe KTM was once a company that produced both motor and non motor bikes.

The company split and left two independent companies that can use the name/logo.

No buisness ties between them !

As far as I know, and it has been discussed here a lot (with Gwin riding KTM bikes and loads of speculation flying around HE will go to KTM in years past), the brands were always separate. It has always been a brand licensing deal. And KTM bikes have been around for almost 20 years, I remember Austrian XC guys (on national and regional races) riding them over 15 years ago when I was still an XC grom.

no they don’t. ktm bicycles is a complete different brand. ktm is owned by a group though which also owns several bike brands, but not ktm bicycles.

Wrong , KTM made motorcycles , radiators and bicycles for many years and then went bankrupt and was saved  by financial creditors , one company being Farioli (Italian KTM importer), the company was then split into 4 separate companies , motorcycles , bicycles, radiators and tooling

KTM cycles is not a licensing company ….

anyway roll on team rumours……move on!

Chris Cummins was seen here in South Africa hanging around with Ike, Niko and Angel for quite a while towards the end of last year...

vero widmann just posted a story on a train going basicly to her 2023 news. my first guess was nukeproof since she resides in the uk and since she‘s dating harry molloy that kinda confirms it IMO.

The way Kasper worded his previous IG post, had me assuming that he was staying put. Interesting development...

I'm going to guess that Kasper goes to a Canadian brand, Rocky, WAO, Chromag..?
