Touratech Oryx

[Mutley]

I have been looking at the new GX650 and alternatives when i stumbled across this kit from Touratech. Has anyone built one? It seems quite pricy for what it is but I think it would be more satisfying building one than just buying another bike

All I know is that someone rode one at the dawn to dusk last year and it looked good. Looked as though it handled as well.

They are claiming 115kg dry but with oil for a fully kitted one. That seems quite light for a 650 but it is pricey. I like the looks and the idea of each kit being relatively simple to fit.

Personally I think the styling is a bit mank but the suspension upgrade are good. Seems that TT only put good effort into the R1***GS styling.

The kit is very similar to the kit for the rallye bike in some respects too

Oryx write up on Touratech

Not sure if you've already seen it but there is a write up on the Touratech site from when they entered a couple Oryx bikes to the 12 hour Enduro event in Wales... some good action pics as well:
