Big Issue? Does the new 2024.5 Factory Edition KTM fix this?

The media narrative early on was the new 2023 KTM frames were too stiff and needed to be softer / more flexible. While there maybe some merit to that, the majority of riders, testers, and tuners have overlooked the main critical flaw in the 2023 frame design which is how tight the chain gets as the shock / swing arm compresses through its motion. The issue of the chain getting absurdly tight is the key contributor to why the frame "feels" stiff, it is because the shock is not able to be a responsive and plush as it can be. The shocks performance is heavily limited by the chain tensioning affect. Until this gets resolved there is a limit to how good the KTM WP shock will perform.
