Description
image

Derived from the MX Championship-winning CRF450R, and engineered for awe-inspiring, off-road performance, the CRF450X takes trail-riding to a whole new level. Retuned to tame the toughest terrain with broader torque, wider gear ratios and enduro-spec suspension, the electric-start CRF450X is quite simply the ultimate open-class off-road machine.

Yes. You may have to change the Valves to KibbleWhites, but overall this is the best trail bike on the market.

Runs fantastic once uncorked and rejetted. Suspension is superb especially after re-spring and re-valve.

This is a great bike, but I\'ve had some problems with the handling, and the valves. I don\'t know what it is about this bike, but I can never get confident in tight turns, espesially flat turns. It always feels like it wants to wash out. I\'ve tried several different tires, but nothing has really helped. It may be that I am used to the handling of a 250f, and it just takes more effort to get this hog around rocks, and logs. I also had the dreaded valve problem after about 100 hours. Spent nearly $1000 putting in stainless valves, and getting the valve seats cut.
