Introduced last year, it's safe to say that our EC 450F has been a huge hit with enduro enthusiasts around the world! With some seriously usable torque down low, this big-bore steed is hands down the perfect bike for those who love to ride tall gears at low revs to cover ground at a rapid rate. Boasting agile handling characteristics usually found on smaller bikes, how our clever engineers created such a nimble machine for the size of the motor is simply mind blowing.
