We had a quick chat to him once the dust had settled about racing back down under.

ONE GIANT LEAP • Never before has there been a Yamaha WR450F released with the amount of changes between models as in 2024. From the ground up, it has received a full makeover, making it lighter, slimmer, with more usable power, and it’s more versatile than ever. Indeed, you could say that this bike is a game-changer for Yamaha in the world of enduro.

RAISING THE BAR • The 450cc MX class is ultra-competitive, and the fight to be top dog means manufacturers have to continuously up the ante to stay ahead of their competition. It’s been five years since Kawasaki have made a major change to their KX450, but for 2024 they have delivered an all-new model and are hungry to lead the pack.

SEEING GREEN • Following a few injury-riddled seasons, former 250cc and 450cc Australian motocross champion Luke Clout is back and feeling better than ever.

DIRT ACTION’s Todd Reed caught up with Luke to chat about the ups and downs of his journey back to the top step of the podium, and his big move to Empire Kawasaki for the 2024 season.
