When we started doing motocross, or riding a dirt bike in general, it is common to have doubts about which motorcycle to choose. And buying a larger and more powerful motorcycle than we should can make us not enjoy it, we feel uncomfortable all the time and little by little we lose the desire to ride. The first concept that we must be clear about is that On a dirt bike, power is not decisive at all., as can happen on the road.
In both Motocross and Enduro, choosing one motorcycle or another makes the level of fun, the risk we take and the ability to evolve and become better riders, depends entirely on the motorcycle we buy.
In this video we talk about what is best to do Motocross depending on our level, if a 250cc motorcycle or a 450cc motorcycle. This question is especially for those people who are new to off-road motorcycles, since for experienced users the choice between one or the other will be determined mainly by their own tastes in the type of power delivery of each engine or by the category in which they are installed. that we want to participate in races.
Each motorcycle has its advantages and disadvantages, especially depending on the type of Motocross circuit we are going to ride on, both by layout and type of terrain. In competition we have seen that depending on the circuit the lap times are many times better in the 250 than in the 450, and that is because his behavior is extremely effective, very evolved in the last 10 years.
Current 250cc motocross bikes deliver a lot of power with a lot of bass, which makes them very effective and usable engines.
The modern 450s are also more usable, being softer and more dosable than years ago, but Its power delivery is not suitable for anyone to have fun. A pro pilot will find fun and nuances, but lower level users will find themselves overwhelmed in many situations.
