RIDE REVIEW I 2021 HONDA CRF450RX
enough time racing them, but we held our own pretty
nicely before we started dumping it. A lot can happen
in six hours and a lot did to our team. But we still man-
aged a smile at the end of the day.
The bike's flaws aren't as easy to isolate. The bike
rips away from competitors if you're able to hang on.
It is blisteringly fast and gets pretty good traction, to
boot. We all messed around with map settings going
from mellow to aggressive and the differences are very
noticeable. I raced in all of them over six hours. That's
the beauty of super long races, I guess!
If you're an off-
roader who still likes
to moto and race
faster-style GPs, the
CRF450RX covers all
the bases nicely.
