When another big name manufacturer besides KTM starts to put R&D into 2-strokes, then they might come back

The 2015 KTM300XC I rode in West Virginia was brilliant, they still have plenty of potential and purpose

How come no one has built a KTM powered hybrid? Direct injection, electric start.

There were a few guys on the ktm forum that had the 360 motors in the xc frames too, and a 12 300 motor in one.
