This time we're looking at the 2023 350 dual-sport bikes. That includes the Beta 350RR-S, the Husqvarna FE350S and the KTM 350EX-C. No sense in denying it: this is the most fun shootout of the year. Our timing was perfect, with wet dirt and perfect dual-sport riding weather in Southern California. You can also check out a video of these bikes in action on Dirt Bike's Youtube channel and the full test at www.dirtbikemagazine.com.

In this podcast we go over the 2023 250 motocross bikes from GasGas, Honda, Husqvarna, Kawasaki, KTM, Suzuki and Yamaha. We offer the strong points and weak points for each of them and offer a final ranking.

This is a special year for motocross. We’ve assembled the top motocross bikes in the world for Dirt Bike Magazine’s 2023 450 MX shootout. Altogether we have seven bikes: the GasGas MC450F, Honda CRF450R, Husqvarna FC450, Kawasaki KX450, KTM 450SX-F, Suzuki RM-Z450 and the Yamaha YZ450F.  It’s a special time in the sport because of a confluence of technology, trends and current events. Last year’s winner is unchanged but three others are completely new and another is heavily updated. Plus, one motorcycle that had been somewhat taken for granted has suddenly been rediscovered by the motocross community because of recent events and a shift in values. Going in, we had no idea which bike would win. For this comparison, all the bikes were left stock, as delivered. That includes tires and suspension. In some cases, we have been riding these bikes for months and we’re quite familiar with them. Others are newer, but all were fresh for our back-to-back comparisons.

The Editor of Dirt Bike Magazine, Ron Lawson goes in-depth about the 2023 Honda CRF450X and CRF450RX. He talks about the updates Honda made to the 2023 models and dives deep into how they performed. Enjoy.

This round of the Dirt Bike Podcast takes the Kawasaki KLX300 and the Honda CRF300L on the trail for a Dual Sport comparison. We returned to our roots. It was all about riding small-bore dual-sport bikes.  The main appeal to both bikes is the price; they sell for around $5500. Both are made in Thailand and both are more about simple transportation than going fast off-road. We put these bikes to the test to give you all the information you need.  

For now, two-strokes aren’t going anywhere. The current collection of dirt bikes from Beta, GasGas, KTM, Husqvarna, Suzuki, Sherco, TM, Yamaha and others includes two-strokes models for both off-road and motocross. They include carbureted and fuel-injected bikes and there are extensive offerings for all skill levels. The prices shown do not include destination, set-up, taxes or other dealer fees. Here are all the popular two-strokes on the market with their prices and details.  If you want all the news and details from Dirt Bike Magazine make sure to subscribe on the Dirt Bike website.

Champions were crowed a round early in Blythe. We had Dirt Bike's Nic Garvin catch up with the top racers to see how their weekend went from the 9th round of the NGPC series.
