It's weird, the 450R went EFI much earlier.

I dunno - the problem with the CR is that it's not great for desert - runs out of gears too quick and 1st is too long once you gear it up. It's pretty much for short blasts and pratting around on the vet track occasionally. The XR is great for open desert but super hard work on anything more technical. Something like yours would be perfect!

Just quoting for posterity, so awesome. Getting my Michelin Trackers fitted tomorrow with some ultra heavy duty tubes so even more excited about the local enduro track opening. Reset the suspension to what's in the owners manual tonight, was a slight revelation what the 450 is capable off. Pretty stiff.

I found that Trackers need to be run at very low pressures to get the most out of them. They have a good reputation among less experienced riders, and a bad reputation by a lot of hard enduro guys (especially ones who like to climb up rocky gullies).

What pressures will you be running?
