1. Transmission. Who wouldn’t want a transmission built by Formula 1 supplier Pankl?2. Cylinder head. The 15mm lower Husky/KTM cylinder head is a giant step forward in lessening cam twist. It also makes the bikes feel lighter in the air as the weight is lower in the chassis.3. Sound. The Husky is the quietest production 450. It was only 111.4 dB on the 2-meter-max sound test and 93.2 dB on amateur sound test.4. Weight. At 224 pounds, it is the second lightest 450 on the track.5. Electric starting. You can’t give credit to Honda, Yamaha and Kawasaki for having electric starting without giving credit to the bike that got there first.6. Radiators. The radiators are mounted 12mm lower on the frame, and the water capacity is up 20 percent.7. Handlebars. Every test rider liked the new ProTaper handlebar bend.8. Maps. Even though the black box is the same on the 450SXF and FC450, the two maps feel different. We were told that the black box was tuned to the FC450’s ice-cream-cone restrictor muffler, which explains why we liked the FC450 maps better than the KTM maps.
Witness the proliferation of (EDIT: 4-wheel) anti-lock braking systems in the USA, from bespoke German bits only available in 1985.5 Lincoln Continentals â sorry 1986 Corvette, you lost by 6 months â to standard equipment on GM vehicles by the mid-90s. GM made a big deal about in-house ABS production, translating into ABS as standard equipment (until it was not). If you remember every mid-90s Pontiac with “ABS” emblazoned on their center caps, you know it was a big deal.
I’d rather have a truck that needs a little software update to fix a steering boost, than a truck that will make me replace the motor after 100 k. Ford, you hearing us?
Statistics say that a typical driver will crash every 17.9 years, and every 3-4 years. Some people have 10 crashes, and are essentially outliers that skew the averages much more than the person who has 0 accidents. Therefore the median appears to be significantly less than the average.

The tech Chevy revealed this week was all under the hood. The 2.7-liter turbo engine is a DOHC 16-valve direct-injection design developed specifically for the truck market that yields 310 horsepower and 348 pound-feet of torque. To reach those numbers, the new engine uses a dual-volute turbocharger for instant throttle response. While the dual volute unit is similar to a twin-scroll, there are significant design differences, including routing the airflow through the two scroll shapes into opposite sides of the turbine wheel to avoid interference.
8. If the message wasn’t clear, perhaps the fully adjustable long-travel suspension—nearly 10 inches at each end—will drive the point home. Up front, 47mm Showa cartridge fork soaks up the hits, while twin Öhlins piggyback-reservoir shocks handle the duties out back. The suspension feel leans towards the stiffer side initially. It is more or less on par with ADV options on the market, avoiding the seesawing that leggy off-road machines can sometimes do. Once you’ve taken to the trail and set to work, the suspension moves through the travel in a plush and controlled manner, keeping the chassis in line or helping it settle up quickly over rough spots.
I will add a reason I and many other people find to be equally important. I LOVE driving and take pride in having honed my skills over many decades. I find things like lane departure warnings, blind spot warnings, front and side cameras to be FAR more distracting than helpful. I almost never use cruise control, even on long trips, because I find it makes me lazier in perceiving the traffic flow and what I might need to adjust for in the flow ahead of me – so I surely do not want adaptive cruise control.

Part of the problem is poorly-calibrated systems. My Honda applies the brakes when I charge those tight, perfectly-banked right-handers, and cuts power if I get wheelspin trying to get into a gap in traffic. My old WRX would release the brakes any time I went over a bump (washboard at the end of off-ramps was extremely problematic). On occasion, these systems can make us less safe.
There are more than four million hybrid vehicles in the U.S. All of them are equipped with brakes and wheel bearings. When servicing hybrid vehicles, it is critical that the hybrid or regenerative brake systems be disabled. It should also be a common practice to remove the keys from the vehicle and place them in an area that is far enough away from the vehicle, as some hybrid systems will sense if the key is near. As the driver approaches the vehicle, some vehicles will not only unlock the doors, but also activate systems like brakes and the drivetrain.
