I don't really see the point in this -aside from the belt drive which could have just been offered as an option on the pro version.

Call me cynical but it is not just a marketing project to sell remaining V2 SE stock by tarting up with bling?

Anyone seen this before with the motor trade..... superseeded models sold with extras at the end of the run to shift stock.

Not knocking it. Hopefully will be the best specced version at keen money. A good buy for the classic 450 market put off by the edgy pro?

wouldn't it be cheaper just to buy a pro head and grips and stick it on your old SE V2......hey presto, 450 sport.

I liked the dust pit. I want one of those

Yes I have to agree with you, but I'm wondering how much cheaper can it be than the pro? Not much I would have thought.

True if you have a V2 and are not buying in to the whole kit but this has to be aimed at a void in Aligns market.

They released the V3 TT upgrade for the V2 at the same time as the launch of the pro. Now a whole kit on the market under the V3 banner.

The V3 has to be aimed at the sports market but the initial TT upgrade for the V2 would only appeal to 3D flyers!?

Some confused messages in marketing from the Align camp i reckon.

Thats just it.... just enough to shift stagnent material held in the factory.

Aimed at a different market. A whistles and bells all round 450 based on a tried and tested best seller.

Just can't see it flying anywhere near as nice as the pro, be interesting if it will come as a full combo like the pro what the price diff is, can't see it being to much myself
