The ten best dual sports motorcycles (off-road) for 2019

They are Honda of the first in Japanese firms to develop a true-performance dual-sport motorcycle in this type of line. We sincerely hope that the trend continues from the Four Great Brands.


These are good times for these types of models.

After taking a look at the current dual-sports offers of each manufacturer as consumers we have a great variety to choose from this year. If you are a beginner. 

As in Riders Experience, we love to show you and publish the lists, we thought we could gather a small catalog of the 10 best dual-sport motorcycles of 2019, as we suggest on BikeBD.

Beta RR-S Line

The RR-S Beta line is ready to move in and roll out, with the necessary equipment so you don't stop the authority. The RR-S line includes 350, 390, 430 and 500 displacements. In terms of performance, the entire Beta RR-S line is comparable to the KTM EXC-F and Husqvarna FEs. The engines pull hard and have the character of something between a dual motorcycle and a motocross motorcycle. The machines are light, around 125-130 kilos, which lends itself to agile handling. Each bike in the RR-S line also includes a GPS Trail Tech Voyager for its display that gives riders not only GPS but also engine temperature, ambient temperature, travel, odometer, times and the ability to download trail routes. Now, get ready to break the pig because this RR-S line goes out for a Pikachu. Although they will not take as much from 350 to 500. In terms of performance-oriented dual-sports, the Beta RR-S line is, to our liking, among the best.

Honda CRF450L

Honda's latest CRF450L is the new dual-sport prototype that fans of the Japanese company have been waiting for. Based largely on the CRF450X racing bike, the 450L brings together a lot of performance for a machine that does not have to come out with the back and a team behind maintenance. The 450 power plant delivered 37.9 horsepower and 26.9 lb-ft of torque on the dynamometer, which gives it just two horsepower and two lb-ft of torque behind the 500 EXC-F of KTM. The Showa suspension is fully adjustable in both the front and the rear, allowing riders to adjust the settings to their liking. With 12.4 inches of ground clearance, the Honda CRF450L is ready to exceed the limits. Around 10,000 turkeys are to blame, the Honda is not cheap, but it performs almost as well as other duals in the market.

Husqvarna FE Line

The Husqvarna FE line offers several models: 250, 350, 450 and 501. Apart from drilling and racing, the bikes are practically the same. All four use the same fork and shock absorber WP. The differentiation of the Husqvarna FE line from its orange cousins is the link system between the shock absorber and the chassis. The Husqvarna FE line is also equipped with Magura brakes and hydraulic clutch components, and an auxiliary frame made of lightweight material. With a proven parent company such as KTM that oversees production, the Husqvarna presents itself with stellar performance and some key differences that make the white bike a dual rather than ready one. Now, it depends on what you want to pay, from the lowest to the highest line they will vary by 1500 cherries.

Husqvarna 701 Enduro

Husqvarna's 701 Enduro closes the gap between adventure and dual bicycles. Although the additional displacement gives you an advantage on the road, the additional weight makes it more versatile than in a handful of tight technical scenarios. Don't be fooled, however, the focused capacity off the 701 roads is high. The 4CS WP closed-cartridge fork is fully adjustable and offers 10.8 inches of travel, as is the WP shock that gives the large double sport a more than 11-inch ground space. The 701 transports its 12.5 liters of fuel in the auxiliary polyamide frame. If you think you can spend more time traveling longer distances between trails, over 12,000 turkeys, the Husqvarna 701 Enduro may be for you.

Kawasaki KLX250

The KLX250, a great machine for people looking for adventure outside the asphalt or even for those who are newbies to ride. The KLX250 is Kawasaki's largest dual (the KLR650 is more than dead and buried) and can be a great starter motorcycle, at an excellent price, for riders of different skill levels. Little Kawa is not a cucumber to leave the rock with her mouth open, but riders can still go out to the field and have fun like a dog behind a rabbit. The luxurious KLX suspension offers 10 inches of travel ahead and 9.1 inches in the rear with 11.2 inches of ground clearance. If you are looking to cross-forest roads and tour the city, the KLX250 is a great bike for this and between 5000-6000 laurels, it is the least expensive model on our list.

KTM EXC-F

KTM has won the longest streak of off-road championships on our list, dominating the off-road scene and putting its competitive pedigree in its dual-sport line. Available in 250, 350, 450 Six Days and 500 cc, users can choose the engine size they want without sacrificing quality components. The WP 48 XPLOR fork offers riders a total adjustment, as does the PDS XPLOR shock absorber. What distinguishes the KTM chassis from all other brands on this list is that the shock absorber is mounted directly on the swingarm instead of using a link below, which gives it more space for the ground and less chance of getting stuck to the pass over obstacles. Brembo's hydraulic clutch and braking components are used and provide excellent off-road braking and a slight pull on the lever. The KTM EXC-F line is the most expensive on our list. If you are looking for a serious thing, the KTM EXC-F line offers four options to consider.

KTM 690 Enduro

The KTM 690 Enduro R uses an individual LC4 690cc, which combined with the 12-liter tank, is designed to take it further than most duals on this list. The 690 Enduro is also one of the heaviest motorcycles on this list, as it comes complete with motor slip regulation, tilt angle sensitive switchable ABS, two drive modes and Quickshifter + that allows up and downshift without clutch In addition to all that, the quality braces of the WP plus Brembo components complete the 690 Enduro R as a great ride for those who plan to do a bit of everything. The price for 2019 has not yet been determined, but the 2018 model passed 10,000 euros.

Suzuki DR-Z 400 S

The DR-Z 400 S of Suzuki has been around since the beginning of time, or at least since we are aware of riders. The first DR-Z 400 left the assembly line in 2000 and has since undergone minimal changes. Its 398cc Single is tested in time (and in space), and offers great power to ride on highways, climb hills, forest cruising roads and any other means. The DR-Z is the only bike on this list that still uses a carburetor that gives you an idea of how unchanged the Suzuki is. Still, with a ground clearance of 11.8 inches, it will help you have fun on the trails, just as you have for almost 20 years. And then its price is super competitive just like her.


Yamaha WR250R

The Yamaha WR250R is known as the most powerful of the 250 of this style. Developed from Yamaha YZ motocross and WR off-road lines, it has all the molds to be a great motorcycle. The fully adjustable fork of the WR250R offers 10.6 inches of travel, while the articulated shock absorber provides the same. The double-cradle aluminum chassis is partly shared with the YZ / WR line, as is the ergonomics of the narrow driver. The Yamaha WR250R is priced just below the largest Suzuki.

Zero FX

The future! Electric motorcycles and specifically off-road electric motorcycles have been gaining popularity, despite Alta's premature disappearance (RIP). Zero's FX model offers dual field-road enthusiasts an electric option for dirt lanes. The FX is available in the ZF3.6 and ZF7.2 battery configurations. The 3.6 can be quickly changed to a new battery or you can place two batteries to match the capacity of the larger 7.2 battery. The ZF7.2 offers 46 hp and 78 lb-ft of torque as stated by the manufacturer, with a range of 140 km in the city and a highway of 60. The charging time for the 7.2 kWh battery is 9.2 hours at 95% and from 9.7 to 100% charge. For an additional 600 turkeys, a quick accessory charger is also available that reduces the charging time to 1.3 hours to 95% and 1.8 hours at a 100% charge. At a seat height of 135 kilos and 34.7 inches, it could be a fun option for those environmental riders, (no pollution and respect for the environment for not making noise). Not to mention the cost of maintenance, almost zero (that remains to be seen). Get ready for the 10,000 turkeys if you like to enjoy the countryside like a Carthusian monk, in silence.
