Slapped together and converted some power numbers. Please don't trust me but here they are. Remember Quantya beat Zero at Mini Moto SX in 2009 so power is not everything...

Quantya Power:

     Torque:    23.23 ft-lbs (31.5 Nm)
    HP:             16.09 HP (12 kW)
        weight:     195 lbs

Zero MX:
    Torque     50 ft-lbs
    HP         23 bhp
        weight:      126 lbs


KTM:
    Torque     33 ft-lbs
    HP             30 bhp
        weight        198.4 lbs

There appears to be a primary and secondary drive similar to what Quantya is doing with the strada and MX.

Interesting single crown fork on the Supermoto.

That`s what I like. The optic of the "Crosser" is what I like to see, the performance seems to be okay, but we must wait and see the original dates in Tokyo.
OT: does anybody know something about Suzuki and Electric MX Bike?

Thanks for the pics!!!

looks to be a latch on top and the seat might swing for access to batt.

Yeah, I don't see any other way to get the battery out. I wrote up a summary of my observations here...

Do those rims look smaller than full size MX rims? I'm talking width.

Look at this pic...



You can see a hinge below the "instrument cluster"?

Not sure Id use the term "hot swapable" in your write up. I think just removable will do. I don't think you will be changing out the battery as you "ride" hence the HOT part doesn't apply.

rims look like norm moto dirt rims to me, most are skinny.

[skadamo]

Good points, thanks for the input.

"hot swapable" guess your right. That term is thrown around kind of loosely. I will update.

Of note is the brake setup. Im a little shocked KTM went with that setup. Talking of the lack of foot brake. Zero went the other way for its new line and added the foot brake.

It also surprises me, specially after testing the Quantya at the track. I think 80% of the users would prefer a foot brake

[skadamo]

I would personally like the hand brake. The only reason is I prefer it for wheelies. Never figured out the back brake on my dirtbike while wheelieing.
