MOTOCROSS ACTION’S 2020 450 FOUR-STROKE SHOOTOUT VIDEO

Make no mistake about it; Motocross Action Magazine isn’t looking at all six 450 motocross models for their play riding, enduro, or off-road riding abilities. To us, these are pure-bred race bikes, and that’s how we tested and rated them. Our information is just a suggestion. If you don’t like our test, you can find lots of other shootouts with different results – perhaps one of those will make you feel better about your own bike. But, be forewarned, we are the only media company that raced all six bikes every week, dyno’ed all six bikes, weighed all six bikes, broke things on all six bikes and spent five months doing our shootout. We use ten different test riders of varying ability and politeness who also raced all six bikes in classes from Novice to Vet to Pro.

The goal of MXA’s 2020 450 Shootout isn’t to make everyone feel warm and fuzzy inside, but we do care about what serious motocross racers think because they push the bikes they own to the best of their ability and really that’s our true audience because that’s also us.
