2025 250 MOTOCROSS SHOOTOUT

[@rcwildman9255]

Thoughts about trail riding bikes shootout? 250f’s

[@buffmuff6153]

Had wr250 once. Amazing bike so predictable. Like a fast sofa.

[@Kevin-s7s]

4 strokes are gy

[@rcwildman9255]

@@Kevin-s7shaha I have a 01 cr500 to “justify” 2 stroke superiority, However I own a 2024 crf250f to ride with my kids

[@Kevin-s7s]

@ ooof. That’s a spicy meatball.

[@Kevin-s7s]

@@rcwildman9255 You liking the Hondas? I had a crf 450. It was pretty badass tbh. It seemed badder than my 22 yz450. Iit was like an 06.

[@dylanp9211]

Honda and Yamaha ❤❤ the triumph is cool. Suzuki is still awesome Kickstart wont die on you like a battery and gotta love a full pro circuit exhaust best exhaust for a motocross bike imo. And cant wait for the ducati 450 to be here and triumphs 450 the rc edition looks nice. But im really starting to like the beta 450rx its an awesome looking motocross machine with a fmf exhaust or pro circuit if they made one for the beta 450rx. Im stuck between getting a honda crf450r again the new ones look awesome or a yz450f. Even s Suzuki rmz450 with a pro circuit or the beta 450rx....growin on me. Crf450r vs 450Rx 🤔 💭

[@joeyb3441]

Works edition Honda looks so good but then the husky Factory edition is more powerful and smoother, hard decisions glad we are spoilt for choice now

[@sand-motox32]

Every year it’s the same test on the west coast and at Glen Helen. The wide open Glen Helen track favorers the power of the Austrian bikes. If you tested these bikes on a East Coast track the results maybe different. Tracks are loamy and tighter.

[@DirtBikeMagazine]

If you would like to fund the flights for all the testing staff, transport of bikes, transport of the manufacturers out to a track let us know! That sounds like a great idea!

[@sand-motox32]

@ that’s a immature response, you know I’m right about the results possibly being different

[@sdb92]

HONDA and SUZUKI! 😉

[@joeyb3441]

Glad triumph got 3rd it’s got everything and more with suspension, apart from maybe a horse or 2 on the Austrian bikes. 👊🏼🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 The Suzuki looks the best with the blue seat

Suzuki #1 - prove me wrong

[@MichaelLyons-h4i]

Well for starters it has been frozen in time. 🥶

[@LeeTillbury]

You're a Zook fanboy, prove us wrong. If Suzuki don't bother, why should we?

[@Joe-pg3kg]

Suzuki gave up completely on its consumers only the lowest IQ people still blindly support a company that doesn’t support them.

[@baggszilla]

Great job guys!

[@DirtBikeMagazine]

Thank You very much!

[@mw4518]

Shocking that KTM doesn’t put the same forks that are on the XCs (6500 spring forks) on the SX models with different valving. Ultimate MX 250 right there!

[@Joe-pg3kg]

PMG spent millions on their air forks they will keep pushing them on people as long as they can.

[@tedturner9054]

Euro sweep!

[@yukonjon5964]

says the CRF surrenders some ground to the others due to tire choice... i thought most shootout's ran the same tires on everything to get a more accurate feel. low budget test eh?

[@dylanp9211]

Me too.

[@DirtBikeMagazine]

The Honda comes with Pirelli tires . We kept tires stock on all the bikes. Nice try

[@dylanp9211]

Yea and gasgas has maxxis

[@StayTunedMoto]

I think you guys are trying to keep KTM in business!!😢😢😢

[@DirtBikeMagazine]

If that were true then why didn't we go 1,2,3 Austrian bikes? Nice try

[@shaun7126]

@@DirtBikeMagazine you didn't want to put gas gas 3th cuz it would have been too obvious

[@EDDIE-c7f8y]

I can never take a shootout seriously when a bike is deducted points because riders felt it was too loud I mean ARE YOU EFFING SERIOUS !!!!!!! C'MON LOL.

[@samhill9129]

OMG kids today crying about Yamaha airbox noise. Is thats why they got rid of 125s? The noise hurt their ears?

[@stevenhanson5782]

What about maitnace?

[@OtisFlint]

They're all awful.

[@dirt625]

Doesnt the suzuki also have dual injectors like the kawasaki?

[@Cl4rky]

Sure does, has had dual injectors since 2019, also has had a GET ecu with wifi connectivity since 2019

[@dirt625]

[@robtaylor6849]

I don't know where we're going when youngsters don't want their dirt bike to be loud, wtf 🤔😂

[@microsoft790]

I want it to make noise but not make my neighbors hate me and get my local tracks shut down. Quiet is good for stock bikes, you can always make them louder. My stock Honda CB650 was so quiet I could not hear the engine at all over 110 mph

[@hookmaster1109]

This is a paid Pierre Mobility advertisement.

[@Superdisco199]

The best thing about KTM going broke is we won't have to listen to bike mags telling us 3 identical bikes are completely different machines. It's been making you guys look bad for a few years.

[@amikhael5135]

So KTM corner better than gas gas and husky (5 stars) but favor "a more agressive cornering style", and du to air fork many rider have trouble entering turns.....I don't really understand, you don't describe an easy bike to corner ?! Could you explain that a little bit better ?

[@panic-revv85]

Kove😂 its garbage. Ive seen them 1st hand.

[@DirtBikeMagazine]

Sounds like someone is having a bad day. We hope it goes better !

[@buffmuff6153]

I LOVE BETA

[@vwgtdturbo]

last ktm because 2026 its game over no money.

[@JimG1964]

KTM with KYB and you have the perfect bike? Better watch out KTM - Triumph figures out a few things and they might drop you! What are the advantages of that air fork other than weight - honest question? manufacturing cost? Why do they stick with it?

[@quadcityracing]

Weight 3lbs savings, and it suits a wide range of rider weights so you don’t have to change the springs

[@JimG1964]

@@quadcityracing Interesting. I wonder how the lighter front forks affect handling. I will have to get on one and try them. I'm leaning toward ktm for my next bike. I'm really not picky about plushness that much but like it if front end sticks/stays connected in ruts and corners in general.

[@Kevin-s7s]

Yz250 or stark80 hp?

[@DirtBikeMagazine]

One will last an hour on a track...one will not

[@Kevin-s7s]

@ maybe. I’m not digging up consistent facts

[@Dayo887]

I'd like to apply to be your audio engineer for your vidoes. Great vidoe and information but no offense but the audio was pretty awful. Lost of volume changes and your mic definitely needs a pop filter. I graduated from the conservatory of recording arts and sciences in Phoenix,AZ and was actually the audio engineer for the biggest bmx podcast in the world at the time called "Rail the Berm" for my internship after I graduated. I'm not sure if you already have an audio engineer for your videos or if you just do it yourself. If you do it yourself don't feel bad it's actually not as easy as one may think. If have an audio guy then there's no excuse unless it's his first gig as my 1st podcast jobs weren't very good either so again not hating just wanna help make things sound alot more clear, crisp and consistent. Thanks for he dirtbike info and Have a good day!

[@DirtBikeMagazine]

Thanks for the feedback! We’ll see what we can do.

You are correct.And we put two stroke in those titles. Thanks for watching!

Where the beta at

They only have a 450 motocross bike right now and a 250 2 stroke.

[@ryansrides9230]

Ima guess KTM wins then Husky then Yamaha then gasgas then honda then Kawi then triumph then suzuki
