MOTOCROSS ACTION’S 2025 450 SHOOTOUT

The 2025 MXA 450 Shootout ranks all seven of the major 450 four-stroke dirt bikes, helping you make a better-educated decision with your hard-earned money. The MXA wrecking crew rides, races, and tests bikes year-round. While each rider has their favorite bike, this video represents the accumulated opinion of Motocross Action. For 2025, five of the seven models received big updates. Honda has a new frame, Yamaha has updated suspension settings and a different linkage, and the Austrian bikes (KTM, Husky, GasGas) have updated frames as well. The Kawasaki saw minor changes, and the tried-and-true Suzuki stayed the same.

Although we strive to jam-pack this video with as much detail as possible, the video is still a highlight version of our Shootout.
