CFMOTO 450MT 2024

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

Suzuki DR-Z4SM 2026

Suzuki DR-Z4SM 2026

With its 398cc single cylinder and geometry, the Suzuki DR-Z4SM provides plenty of riding pleasure. Easy handling, height agility, decent acceleration. It is a real fun bike, especially in winding areas, on short distances or in city traffic. With the 8.7-litre tank, it can theoretically cover 256 km, but a stress-free 200 km to the next stop is always realistic. Yet there are points of criticism. At 9,699 euros in Germany and 9,990 euros in Austria, it is priced in the premium segment. At this price, we would have expected more: more power, sixth gear, quickshifter, adjustable levers or a more comfortable seat. The bottom line is that the DR-Z4SM is a stylish, agile A2 supermoto with reasonable maintenance intervals, which is great fun in the city and on the track, but still has air at high rpms in terms of price-performance ratio.

Cleanly tuned engine, sufficient acceleration
