Here’s the perfect companion... Lard Arse just found his fast! RR430 Damn, the Beta techs are good. Enduro 450s can be real brutes – big power coming in like a sledgehammer all in one huge hit. But in the RR430 you get the significant power upgrade over the RR350/390s but without that typically huge 450 hit in the guts.
