Because there is really so much to say about the 2019 Honda CRF450F WE, the KTM 450 SX-F Factory Edition, and the Husqvarna Rockstar Edition FC 450…

In 2019, consumers have the chance to own something truly special when it comes to motocross machinery. Three manufacturers – Honda, Husqvarna, and KTM – produce special edition versions of their popular 450 motocross bikes that offer greater value and performance than the standard versions. We gathered the 2019 Honda CRF450R Works Edition, the 2019.5 Husqvarna Rockstar Edition FC 450, and the 2019.5 KTM 450 SX0F Factory Edition machines, and compared them back to back with a testing crew of four riders of varying size, age, and skill. While Broc Tickle brought the star power, the testing experience shared by Editor in Chief Donn Maeda and Senior Test Rider Pat Foster, plus 20-year testing veteran Kyle Puerner helped round out the panel for this comprehensive comparison.
