1. Transmission. Not just better gears but Pankl gears.2. Exhaust. We love the slip-fit in the mid-pipe that allows us to remove the shock without having to remove the pipe.3. Clutch. Nothing holds a candle to the Brembo clutch.4. Cylinder head. Lowering the head by 15mm means that the cam is lower, cam towers are stronger, valve stems are shorter and weight is reduced by 1 pound. Lowering the center of gravity made the bike feel lighter in the air.5. Sound. The KTM blew a nice 113.0 dB on the 2-meter-max test and 93 dB on the Amateur sound test.6. Weight. The 223-pound 2019 KTM 450SXF is lighter than several 250 four-strokes (and all the other 450s).7. Electric starting. KTM has had electric starting for 20 years.8. Radiators. The radiators are 12mm lower and the chassis is narrower at the fuel tank.9. Air filter. Until you see a KTM air filter, you can’t appreciate how cool it is.
The peanut gallery likes to root for the perennial winner to lose. It’s human nature. Tom Brady has enemies. Louis Hamilton has enemies. The New York Yankees have enemies. And KTM has enemies. However, to choose any other brand as the 2019 winner would require the MXA test riders to ignore the superior brakes, bulletproof clutch, design innovations, light weight, wide powerband, adjustable suspension, sleek ergonomics and no-fuss handling. It’s no secret that it will cost you a lot of money to fix the flaws of the FC450, CRF450, YZ450F, KX450 and RM-Z450 to make them better overall bikes than the 2019 KTM 450SXF. If our friends asked us which 2019 450cc motocross bike they should buy, the KTM 450SXF would be our answer. Like it or not, the KTM 450SXF is the 2019 450 shootout winner. Full test of the 2019 KTM 450SXF.
ABS can turn into a liability as well in super low traction situations, although when you reach that point, I’d more so question whether the tires were right for the situation, or whether it’s even safe at all to be driving on the road in the first place (ice storm or the like).
Backup cameras fall somewhere in the middle gray zone, because while they do protect others, it’s only in situations where the driver is too stupid or in too much of a hurry to do the right thing, and it happens at slow speeds.
If an older vehicle is safely operational (brakes, tires, suspension, lights, etc) but doesn’t have any of the new active systems, or say even stability or traction control, would it past muster to drive alongside your children on the road? I live in Indiana (no inspections of any kind) and see some really scary stuff as far as tires down down to cords, detached leaf springs on the highway, etc. I’m no more a fan of THAT kind of unsafe car than you are. Would I force a low income person driving an older car with a Check engine light off the road? No. Would I force operationally safe older cars that lack these active safety systems off the road? Absolutely not.
We then surmised that the seals in the master cylinder and slave cylinder were worn and should be replaced. We replaced both components and bled and adjusted the pedal. This solved the problem, and we sent our customer on his way.

Bleeding the system took forever, as I hadn’t bench-bled the master cylinder, so there was tons of air in the system. Still, it wasn’t rocket science.

The answer, I’ve been told, is because that’s not what truck buyer’s want; truck buyers want the same thing they bought before—but new. And certainly Sierra buyers will be pleased with not only the capability and comfort of the new truck, but the myriad ways it can be put together and the option for some cool and unique (if pricey) features.
