Honda's absence in the 450cc four-stroke enduro category has been a source of frustration for red-blooded dirt bike riders, so the introduction of the CRF450L was always going to be popular.
The DR-Z400E has remained more or less unchanged for over 20 years, but it is still as popular as ever. The bullet-proof trailbike is not modern in any sense of the word, but its simplicity, ruggedness and cheap price tag keep it in the game.
Inspired by Yamaha's YZ450F motocrosser, the WR450F is a race-bred enduro machine that will please competitors and weekend warriors alike. Its weight and aggressive power make it a handful for beginners, but fortunately it's completely tuneable.
The Freeride 250F is a jack-of-all-trades bike that is easy to ride, but is no slouch in the hands of a skilled pilot. Its versatility is a big drawcard, as is its manageability, giving it appeal for broad spread of riders.
Italian company Beta was founded in 1904, but it is only recently that it has made its mark in the enduro world. The 2019 Beta enduro range features a host of updates that bring it even closer to the Austrian might of KTM and Husqvarna.
