Saenz swaps but keeps...

[AZRickD]

Dateline Barcelona -- X-Games Gold Medalist, Spaniard Saenz trades her Gas Gas for KTM ("for several reasons," said the Brit announcer), but she traded the KTM's WP forks for her old Gasser's Marzocchi 48mm units.

Does this point to the superiority of the Zokes or is it merely an issue of her suspension tuner being more familiar with the Zokes vs WP ?

That Enduro race was awesome to watch. She wrecked on the start....putting her basically in last place. But not for long. Her determination and come back was amazing. She "man" handled that bike.

And on top of it she is racing the WEC Enduro in Portugal at the same time. Tough Chick

I wonder what were her "several reasons" for dropping Gas Gas ?

Money, money and more money, enough reasons?!

And keeping the Zoke forks?

And keeping the Zoke forks?

If she's not a factory KTM rider she would be under no obligation to use WP components. If you're an independent rider or team you use what you're familiar with, what you're comfortable with, what's paid for, or what you can get support for.
