We tested each bike in its stock form, and put 20 hours on each bike to, try to make them ultimately comparable to each other and to keep things equal we installed the same tires on each bike Read More...

This is the first-ever GasGas Factory Edition, but let’s not get too misty-eyed about the GasGas version of the Factory Edition because it is just a red version of the 2023-1/2 KTM 450SXF Factory Edition Read More...
