2021 450 MX SHOOTOUT | COMPLETE COVERAGE

Presented by 805 Beer

The annual Swapmoto Live 450 Shootout is a massive affair as we gather six test riders of varying speed, size, and age, and test all of the new bikes, back to back. Representatives from every manufacturer are invited to attend and help adjust the bikes to best suit each rider. After hundreds of laps, dozens of gallons of gas, and lots of smiles, we gather to debate and analyze each of the motorcycles. This year, we elected to conduct our shootout without the 2021 Suzuki RM-Z450 as the yellow machine returns unchanged and has yet to arrive on American shores. This year, after our final day of comparative testing, we converged on Jeff Blackmore’s amazing Blackmore Ranch in Murietta, California, to enjoy some 805 Beers and bench race about each of the 2021 motocross bikes. Stay tuned to swapmotolive.com for the official 2021 450 MX Shootout video and feature post!
