Jeremy went on to win championships on the steel framed Yamaha's. RC won a stack of races and championships on steel before and after the aluminum framed Honda days. Yamaha hasn't exactly been killing it on aluminum. Lighter than aluminum and easier to access the mechanicals to properly maintain a race bike. Works for me. You totally throw out the window where KTM comes from. The brand was build on european soil. Doesn't matter which starting gate you're looking at here, it's mostly orange behind.

I love that the fact they are doing it with steel trellis and their own suspension. Chad Reed became a motocross champion in on a steel framed Yamaha. The next year on the aluminium framed bike was a disaster.
The frames were inconsistent and very sensitive to having parts bolted on them. I actually have both a steel framed and an aluminium framed YZ. But the steel one has more of those days more often. Take a look at the bicycle industry. The cheap bikes are made from aluminium. People will pay extra for well made steel, titanium, or carbon frames. Spoiler alert, very rarely. WP now has and, well…. Honda ran Showa suspension not in-house brand, but a firm with close ties forever. This Brno result was a shocker!
When the wife told me the results and rider, my first thought was, rain race. The paddock and web experts have been blasting steel frames and WP suspension from the beginning. They could tune the feel so well as long as they had the welders and suppliers. Good to see KTM finally bringing a day in the sun to these geniuses! I had an expensive carbon fiber bicycle that I loved, but then began riding a second bike made from steel. Ended up enjoying the ride of the steel framed bicycle so much, I gave away the carbon bike to my son.
I sold my carbon hard tail fat bike in favor of a titanium one. The Ti bike is a little heavier. Carbon is a very engineer-able material. That said, there are some fantastic aluminum bikes being made. Steel can be soooooo classy.
