Yamaha YZ450F 2017

Yamaha YZ450F 2017

In the 1000PS Hardenduro Test 2018, our testers were completely impressed by the Yamaha models. This also applies to the Yamaha YZ 450 F. Yamaha offers a wide range of accessories for the enduro, with which the YZ 450 F can be tuned to meet any requirements. In addition, there is the Tuning App, with which the YZ 450 F can be adjusted via smartphone. But the Yamaha is also convincing without subsequent tuning. The engine and chassis have good responsiveness and the Nissin brakes also impress with their usual quality.

Honda has hit the jackpot with the new 2021 CRF450R. Through constant further development, we find a true handling monster with the 2021 model year. Comparisons with the 250 in terms of handling cannot be dismissed out of hand. Thanks to electronic aids, the power delivery is no longer as demanding as on 450s.

Very good handling characteristics

equipped with numerous electronic features

chassis perfectly tuned for the hobby pilot

finally hydraulic clutch

Chassis a little too soft for really fast riders in the basic setting

routing of hydraulic hose coupling
