Honda CRF450X

摘要

The wait is over. Well, just about, anyway. It's been three years since the CRF450R was introduced, and now Honda has taken the number-one motbcross bike (a Cycle World Ten Best winner three years running) and turned it into a full-fledged enduro machine. Understanding that off-road riding and racing differ drastically from closed-course motocross competition, Honda's engineers took their sweet time to make sure everything was perfect. Virtually every single component from the CRF450R was changed to meet the unique demands placed on the CRF450X. Sure, you could take a motocross bike, add an electric starter, lighting system, flywheel weight and a set of wider gearbox ratios and then head to the hills. It might even be a great bike-but it surely won't be at the apex of off-road performance.
