The 2013 YZ450F is an all-new bike, featuring a new EFI engine, an entirely new frame, updated suspensions and many other upgrades which make it a great off-road bike for both competition and outdoor recreational use. Even the bodywork was redesigned, for a more minimalist attire, enhancing both mass centralization and the overall feel of the bike.
According to those who tested it, the 2103 Yamaha YZ450F feels and handles like a 250cc-class machine, but with all the power and the dirt aggression of a class-leading 450 machine. With the new aluminium frame, a lot had chanced for better rider comfort and even the exhaust system was redesigned for better weight distribution and higher performance.
