Pros and Cons in comparison

Royal Enfield Meteor 350 Fireball 2021

Whether as a beginner's bike or a second bike, the Royal Enfield Meteor 350 offers a hell of a lot of motorbike at a more than fair price. But one thing is clear: if you are looking for lap times or home track records, you should get another motorbike. Everyone else is guaranteed not to go wrong with the attractively designed Meteor 350. It's a great bike that could well become a blockbuster without any real competition on the market!

Unbeatable price

engine hugs the throttle well

turn-by-turn navigation

good ergonomics for big and small

highly customisable

coherent concept

Workmanship and material appearance occasionally at a low level

headlights with low luminous efficacy

engine power somewhat weak for motorway journeys.

CFMOTO 450MT 2024

The CFmoto 450MT impresses as a light and comfortable bike for enduro travellers looking for a good balance between size and weight. It offers satisfactory engine performance for off-road use. On-road, the two-cylinder engine needs plenty of revs to get going, yet it still performs confidently. The workmanship and appearance are convincing, and the engine's power delivery is linear and easy to control, apart from the load change reactions. Minor points of criticism concern the suspension, which reaches its limits under intensive use. Overall, the CFmoto 450MT offers good value for money and is an attractive choice for riders looking for a reliable and well-equipped enduro bike.

Lightweight and comfortable for adventure bike use

Good build quality and attractive appearance

Sufficient power for off-road use

Attractive price-performance ratio

Very smooth clutch

Precise transmission

Suspension reaches its limits under intensive use

Minor shortcomings such as not clearly defined rev limiter

Annoying, hardly suppressible load change reactions in tight corners

Front brake could be more precise and powerful

Ergonomics not quite optimal for tall riders
