2022 450 Factory Edition Shootout | Swap Moto Live

As stated by Swap Moto Live, "Exactly one decade ago, KTM changed the game when it introduced the 2012 450 SX-F Factory Edition. Created and homologated for sale as a limited-edition machine, it gave the Red Bull KTM Team a chance to field a vastly improved and all-new machine for new signee Ryan Dungey. Since then, KTM has continued the Factory Edition tradition, and the Austrian brand created an all-new category of sorts, as Husqvarna followed suit with the Rockstar Edition FC 450, then Honda with the CRF450R Works Edition, Kawasaki with the KX450 SR, and Gas Gas with the MC 450 Troy Lee Edition."

After a full day of back-to-back comparisons at Cahuilla Creek MX, the SML test riders reveal what their favorite 2022 Factory Edition bike of is and why.

The Swap Moto Live crew enlisted me as the photographer for this project. The assignment was to capture each rider in action on each motorcycle manufacture. Additionally to capture candid moments of the test riders gearing up with their Ogio sponsored gear bags.
