I ride a lot of fast open trails with some single trail thrown in so wanted the power. The 500 is getting more into light adventure style bike which I'm not interested in, I have spoken to a few people in the know that have said the 450 actually puts out more power and revs harder than the 500 as well, and from my test rides on both, I found the 500 to be quite lazy with the power, and not just the power, the bike feels a bit lazy too. The 450 feels like a proper enduro race bike. My opinion is it really depends on what style of riding you're doing; fast open trails with some singletrack = 450, tight and technical singletrack with some fast bits = 350, longer distances and mostly open trails and the ability to get some luggage on there = 500.
Hi mate, where can I find that skid plate?
Nice man.
What tyres ya gona use??
I got a 2017. Max tyres are no good ay
Is the fmf road legal?
Hey mate, any reason in particular you chose the 450 over the 350 or 500? Im currently tossing up which way to go
