User Reviews of KLX450R

5 Rating

Unstoppable trail-shredding beast!

Took this purely for serious off road riding and dirt tracks, and the power is absolutely brutal. The torque from that 449cc engine pulls like a tractor through deep mud, sand, and steep inclines. On wide open stretches, it easily blasts up to a 150 kmph top speed, though maintaining that on dirt takes serious skill. The long travel suspension soaks up massive jumps without bottoming out. It’s an expensive, non-road-legal competition machine meant exclusively for hardcore trails, but for pure off road adrenaline, it is the best.

A Clean Setup For Off Road Riding

The digital speedometer keeps things simple when I am riding the KLX450R. I can quickly check my speed without dealing with a busy display. The LED tail light also fits the bike nicely and keeps the rear looking clean. I prefer this kind of setup on an off road motorcycle because I want to focus more on the trail than the console. The KLX450R keeps the important things easy to understand while letting its rugged character do the talking.

Good Fuel Efficiency

The KLX450R surprised me with its good fuel efficiency. It does not need frequent refueling. Even during long off-road trips it saves fuel. This is a plus point if you love exploring remote areas.

Comfortable for Long Rides

This bike is comfortable even for long rides. The seat is soft and the riding position is relaxed. Suspension absorbs bumps well. I did not feel tired even after hours of riding in the mountains.
