This year, we rented Cahuilla Creek MX, invited the manufacturers to come out and help set up their bikes for each test rider, and set five test riders loose on the new Gas Gas MX450F Factory Editon, Honda CRF4500R Works Edition, Husqvarna FC450 Rockstar Edition, Kawasaki KX450 Special Racer, and KTM 450 SX-F Factory Edition. To ensure consistent traction, we outfitted all of the machines with new Dunlop MX33 tires and used high-quality Motul lubricants in all of the bikes.
