How Good Is The Honda CRF 450 At Enduro Riding???

So how good is the honda crf 450 at enduro riding? Well, I decided to find out. I took the crf 450 dirt bike on a hard enduro ride to find out the pros and cons. We did some difficult single track, woods riding and some deep muddy stuff. In this video i give you my honest review of what the crf 450 is like to ride in the rough terrain. It is a 450 motocross bike at the end of the day so let's see how she does.

Change your sprockets around for more bottom end if your always stalling it.

Get radiator fans will keep the bike a bit cooler in the slower sections

I’ve got a 2005 crf 250 that I’ve been doing up, it’s a lovely bike to ride and start, I love it.
I’ve also got a 2002 crf 450 and the power is great, brill Mx bike but if you stall it it’s an absolute pig to start, job to beat it on a mx track but in those conditions I’d use my 250 crf .

I put the 2 finger clutch lever by 1Finger on my RX and love it! Gave me excellent clutch control, comfortable, can pull lever with one or 2 fingers now and because of this improvement in clutch control I hardly stall anymore in the woods. I’m also running a Hinson clutch which has stiffer springs, how awesome is I researched for ever and really wanted to stay away from an auto clutch, this did it boyz! This lever took 40 to 50% off my clutch pull and keeps more fingers on the grips which is huge, also gave me the ability to feel the clutch. I race Harescrambles up here in Michigan with this bike and am a force to be reckoned with 🤘🏻

2 shroke are better for enduro I think

I have an 09 450 and love it in the woods. Turned up the idle and changed out the clutch and she doesn't stall. I don't have an issue with overheating. I love the bike. Great video and feedback

I really like my rm250 on trails, plenty of power, light, nimble, 2 stroke does get hot as easy as the crf450r and the clutch is nice and light. I dislike this bike on a track tho, 4 stroke easier to ride for me.

Fantastic video! I have a 2018 CRF450RX with recluse clutch and a heavier flywheel.
I will be adding a trail tech fan. I'm enjoying it so very much.
I also have a Baja light kit. It's a street legal dirt bike!😂

Easier bikes to go tight and technical with but I love putting round pegs in square holes. Great video. 450r’s are much fun

You need to look further ahead of your front tire and get comfortable enough to trust the bike and your riding form to make up for mistakes at least if it's not super rough then when you get use to it you will have a easier time I can tell your struggling using more energy than needed

[mnovinger]

have an evans coolant in it...no fan has NEVER overheated and I'm not kind to it....

[steelyc]

thats why the enduro bikes have built in fsns to cool them down as there isnt much air in woods and when your just riding about slowly

[uk_siren]

Dude the places you go are awesome! Bikes looking 🔥

Hi there . Which one is more capable (better) off road : Honda crf 450 or Yamaha WR 450? Which one is more realiable?i am 190 cm tall and robust 125 kg i don't know which is better for me. Very good video, nice review in these off road muddy conditions😎👍

[ridehead]

I'd take a 2 stroke 125 for trailing any day

[richardgardiner]

i have a crf 450r its not good for enduro its a handful and just wants to go. 1st gear crawling along is a nightmare on them they are designed to fly lol good workout though on tricky trails lol better of with a husky 350 for enduro

[HyperRidemx]

that's quite the technical trail, good ride review!

[gregengelhardt]

I just bought a 2019 crf 450 and will be using it for trails and the track but for trails is it good on fuel and does it overheat like really easily

[mxriderstrokebraaap]

Great video!👌 Maybe a set of radiator fans to keep the bike from overheating?
