VOLUME ISSUE OCTOBER , P97
MAY THE
BIKE WIN
For this comparison, we picked a broad
range of riders with varying ages, weights
and skill levels for their fair and diverse opin-
ions across our multi-day comparison test.
We also enlisted former 125cc Supercross
Champion and off-road legend Ty Davis for
his opinions, tapping into his many years of
motorcycle experience and racing success.
Cahuilla Creek MX and Fox Raceway pro
-
vided the battlegrounds.
Two capable machines, the Suzuki RM-
Z450 and the Beta 450 RX, did not make their
way to the spotlight this time around. Due
to time constraints on our shootout, neither
bike was available for our comparison.
