The 1963 Triumph Tiger Cub Scrambler was the “Factory Edition” of 50 years ago. Why not? It’s selling like crazy, is the exact same price as a KX450 or YZ450F and just take a look at it-it’s clean, sleek and blessed with all the Austrian traits that the Japanese brands wished they had (222-pound weight, billet steel hydraulic clutch, Brembo brakes, braided steel brake lines interchangeable throttle cams, foolproof air filter cage, CNC-machined hubs and that ultra-broad KTM engine). You can call it a “Red KTM” all you want because that doesn’t hurt anyone in Austria’s feelings. The GasGas MC 450F was the talk of the town this winter. And those are just the bike test! We also have a revealing interview with Steve Stackable, a feature on how MXA won the 24-Hours of Glen Helen endurance race (with the help of Mitch Payton), flashback about the original Factory Edition-the 1963 Triumph Tiger Cub Scrambler and lots, lots more.
