Рет қаралды 21,657
2 ай бұрынOur final comparison test of the year is in the books, as we recently wrapped up testing for our 2024 Edition Shootout. Swapmoto Live test riders spent their final day of testing out at LACR, where they ultimately ranked each manufacture in the order they would choose to purchase them. Press play to see what Pat Foster, Donn Maeda, Tallon LaFountaine, and Kyle Puerner had to say about this year's Husqvarna FC450 Rockstar Edition, KTM 450 SX-F Factory Edition, Honda CRF450R Works Edition, and GasGas MC 450F Factory Edition!

It is beautiful. I've got my first KTM and it's beyond great but there's that Honda feel and sound. My KTM is awesome but man, it sounds like it doesn't have oil in it 😕 compared to Honda. Clearly Honda is going to have to step up their game. Good for you and me.

Got my 2024.5 KTM 450 FE to accompany my 24' SX300 (two stroke). Man, once I reduced the engine braking, that thing was so smooth on the corners and manageable throttle! I did put a Renthal Fatbar 839 on both with Renthal grips and a Works Connection throttle tube.

Did you get the cuo without the new front fender? I’m looking to get it for my 23 fc350 I only want the mapping / app not the GPS / fender
@offroadrepairman 2 ай бұрын
@E63s_Scott, yes I only got the cu. I didn’t want the fender and gps either. Also, the instructions aren’t very clear. Once you use make a different map, and install it. The map you make is active with the green light on map switch. White light is a softer version of your new map and more closely resembles the stock tune.

Would be nice to actually be shown the differences in each Austrian bike and what they are like when Identical? I understand this test...but when you have 3 brands from 1 company then the differences are important.... Basically if you make then identical they are the same...and what is the price differences between them? and who keeps their bikes Stock? Factory Editions get upgrades or personal changes in products a rider likes...no racing bike is identical... Seems to be a biased test ?? Everyone agrees on the top 3?? 🤔 🇨🇦🤓🤟
