Husqvarna FE 450 2015

Still the golden mean. Much easier to ride than a 350. Not quite as nervous, but just a tad more ponderous. It has no end of power and torque. The 501 is frankly superfluous. This bike is not too weak for anyone. Probably not the coolest choice, 450 was "mainstream" for years, but in the course of a hard enduro week the best partner you could wish for. The few extra kilos are quickly forgotten on the leisurely connecting stages. During the test we also rode it with a Rekluse automatic clutch. This worked great and saved power.
KTM 450 EXC 2016

The KTM 450 EXC is a very mature and perfectly implemented hard enduro. It has an almost infinite amount of experience. It is reliable and extremely confident in every situation. A faithful companion for off-road use which also performs its service extremely reliably.
