Is The 2024 Kawasaki KX450 Underpowered??

In this video I ride the brand new 2024 Kawasaki KX450 dirt bike to see if the videos are true about it being underpowered. I give my first hand experience and thoughts on the bike and how it handles as well as the power!

All the videos claiming the bike is is because they’re comparing it to the other 2024 bikes. The Kawasaki is definitely the slowest 450 on the market in 2024. That doesn’t make it a bad bike though, for the vast majority of people that makes it easier to handle. I had a chance to ride one and it handled very well, but it was significantly slower than my personal 2024 yz450f. I love the power the Yamaha has so the Kawasaki wouldn’t be the best bike for me. For others, it’s fantastic and they likely won’t even use all of the power that they’re given. Great video nonetheless and great to hear another opinion on the bike!

Well put and thanks for watching! I mostly ride single track so I love the chill power delivery! Dunes I'd probably not like it though!!

bro i have a question so i never had a dirt bike only rode one like two or three times it was a 250 and 450 i was thinking about getting the yz 450 cause i been seeing the kx was slow so do you think i a be good getting the kx over the yz

[@darrylklein614]

I agree I have a 2023 kx450 also and it is just as strong

[@utmx]

Yeah plenty of power!

Dude if it’s a bit under powered that’s great for a vet rider or anyone that’s not pro and if you want some more lower throw a full exhaust on it I can get a 24 kx450 for 7k at my local shop only other 450 that comes close to that price is a a Suzuki lol

[@utmx]

Yeah man the kawi prices are amazing right now!! I like the lower power! Much more usable!

[@swampfox899]

it actually has 53-54 hp

[@MountainMXOfficial]

Same as my 2012

[@utmx]

You are right!! Thanks for watching! Bikes a blast!

my bad it actually has 57.2 according to Motocross action magizen

[@swampfox899]

and if you remove the rubber gromit on the airbox it gets 58.2
