As I slowly transform the 500 to a long range off road vehicle I have a gap for a single track play thing. Two stroke with none of the downsides.
Badge engineered KTM... ![Grin ;D](https://www.autos.ca/forum/Smileys/CarTalk/grin.gif)
Haha more than that:
1) Linkage > PDS shock.
2) Also free preload adjusters for the fork. Great little addition if using on the street as it takes some of the dive away when playing motard. These generally come on the 6 days editions on the KTMs
But the XC vs XC-W have linkage vs PDS, don't they...and I think you have a choice on other models too, don't you?
And as you point out, the pre load is available on the 6 Days.
I don't think it's unfair to say badge engineered IMO...it's basically a 6 Days with the XC linkage to differentiate (somewhat) from the KTM. Or a fuel injected XC with pre-load adjusters.

Also...many of these roll out of the same KTM factory. Is that the case with these?
Oh...And white and yellow!
