Yamaha WR450F 2016

The Yamaha WR 450 F is a great all-in-one package. Its single-cylinder engine provides powerful propulsion while remaining easy to control. Thanks to the high torque, the power unit pulls the rider up even the steepest hills. In terms of chassis, our testers could only rave about the great responsiveness and easy handling. Only the brakes of the Yamaha WR 450 F could be a little sharper for one of our testers. A great all-rounder for ambitious enduro riders.
