More from Rocky Mountain ATV/MC Keefer Tested
Keefer grabs his KTMN 450 Factory Edition and rides a couple different sets of suspension to diagnose what each strengths and weaknesses are out on several different types of tracks. Slapping on a set of WP Cone Valve/AER forks and Traxx/bladder style shocks, back to back, was the only way to see how each reacted so Keefer discuses the findings in this episode. Should you keep your AER set up on your bike? Orrrr is the Pro Components on your FE actually worth the money?
We had the chance to test the new 2027 YZ250F at Club MX but how does the Yamaha handle Southern California's hard pack? New frame, new engine and a new feel for the YZ250F so sit back and relax as Keefer and guests talk about how the new bLU cRU handles compared to the previous generation. If you're looking for set up tips you will be able to find some within this show as well!
Let us walk you through the updates that Yamaha made to the 2027 YZ450F. Is the 2027 that much better where you need to spend the extra money on it or is the 2026 version jus as good? Get some settings as well as some mods you can do to your new bLU cRU in order to make it ride a little better!
Honda left the CRF250R unchanged in 2027 but that doesn't stop us from bringing you some info about the red machine and where this bike could fit in for your next purchase. Get some mod suggestions as well as some settings all within this episode.
Is the Honda is as good as Keefer remembers from Millville? Listen as this episode dives into what the biggest differences are from the 2026 to 2027 CRF450R and if the new chassis has more comfort on hard pack conditions than the older chassis. Honda also lost a bunch of weight in 2027, so Keefer will break down everything from the weight loss program to the newfound power so if you're in the market for a new CRF450R, this show will help you make that decision.
