BTW where do you purchase a fan kit ?
 
Having ridden both bikes and owned a 570, and now a FX450 I would say get the Berg. It's basically a KTM with a forward firing engine so the reliability is very good. And the FI works better then the carb system on the 530 IMO.
You Berg dealer can get the fan kit in for you. Have them install it before you even pick the bike up.
You won't regret buying the blue ktm! :mrgreen:
 
Had the 09 530 for 4 months then one ride on the 570 and I sold the 530 and bought the 570

FI beats the carby hands down, and the handling of the Berg is all what the hype says and more.
 
Riding my Berg all day yesterday, and with a big smile on my face! Would you consider a smaller displacement? Why not the FX 450. I have a 390 with motocross/Worcs set up on the suspension and super happy with the bike. I can go on and on.... Buy the Berg
 
Yeah I prefer my FX450 over my FE570. I know alot of guys love there 390's but for me coming from the 570 the 390 just wasn't what I was looking for. I feel the 450 is just about the 450 perfect bike to compete in enduros.
 
really youwouldnt go with the 570? why its practically the same weight only diffrence is the torq and the fuel efficiency? would the 450 be enough for my size im a big guy, will it get me up really hard hill climbs ?? sorry for being soo anoying i just dont want to choose the wrong bike heh
 
I'm 265lbs fully geared up. And my FX450 has no problems getting up hills. Don't get me wrong, I loved my 570. And I ride mostly tight technical single track stuff. It's just as the day wore on or race when I started to get tired the extra power wasn't helpful. More times then not it got me into trouble. The 450 I can just ride more aggressive without getting tired as fast. Even though the scale says they weigh about the same they do handle a bit different also.
If you rode mostly more open style trails or desert riding I'd say get the 570 but for technical riding I recommend the 450. Oh and a Rekluse Pro or Core EXP :mrgreen:
 
Many of us have different opinions, however I still believe the 450 is the way to go with you weigh 110 kg. Open space/desert riding maybe the 570. Just buy the 450 FE or the FX. Today I would buy the FX for the type of suspension it comes with stock.

bah i was so sure on the 570 now im doubting !!! so i guess the 530 is out of the picture was geting a great deal on it tooo
 
Is there anyway you could try and 450 and a 570? That's really the only way you can tell is to ride them for yourself. I did love the power of my 570 though. But as I've said before, for racing enduro's it did more harm then good.
 
I rode all three 4 stroke models in a row over the weekend. I could feel a large difference between the 570 and 450 in the way it handled.It would really show it rotating mass in corners. Power wise the 570 was too much down low and flat up top(Although very controllable). The 390 had a fantastic soft bottom end and was a really nice bike to ride especially in coners, but it lacked that bit of punch in the midrange the 450 gives.. In the end I went with the 450 being the best compromise between the other models.. The track was a small enduro loop mixed with a few MX track corners.
 
I doubt the "Racer Kit" is being offered in Peru. The would be a little pricey to ship your suspension off to Factory Connection to have it set up :lol:
 
Very pleased with service and work from Factory Connection. I sure like the incentives on the FX from Husaberg. Good choice!
 
Yeah I would have loved to try out the Factory Connections suspension but it wasn't offered to your friends to the north (Canada) :cuss: Go figure!
