On this special edition of PREMIX we take a look at a very unique project build from the folks at Seat Concepts. his project was the brain child of Seat Concepts owner Lendon Smith and will be his personal trail machine providing we actually give it back to him. Why did KTM stop making the 200? We have no idea but this project from Seat Concepts would be a very popular model if it was mass produced. This machine started life as a 125SX model, the frame was highly modified making room for a brand new 200cc power plant equipped with an electric start. Lendon Smith wanted to keep the styling stock but as you can see there are some upgrades in key areas.Larger IMS Core pegs and an oversized IMS fuel tank were a must of this off-road project.The stock seat was naturally replace with a complete Seat Concepts model that included a ribbed gripper cover.Internally the engine remained stock but a Trail Tech radiator fan kit, Lectron carburetor and some custom fitted silicone radiator hoses were added.An FMF Q-Stealth silencer was teamed with an FMF Gnarly pipe for a little more performance.Electric start on the trail is almost a necessity nowadays and Lendon made sure that the brand new KTM200 complete engine he got from Solid Performance was equipped with one. Using OEM KTM parts and some very targeted aftermarket bolt-on parts from companies like IMS Products, FMF, Pro Moto Billet, TM Designworks, Lectron and T-Racing Suspension the crew at Seat Concepts made a modern day 200 XC-W
