  • Keefer & Matthes on the 2023 Yamaha YZ450F at Glen Helen Raceway

Since 1948, Barnett has been manufacturing American made clutches with the finest, cutting edge materials available. The new Barnett C22 Carbon and K22 Kevlar friction materials are made exclusively for Barnett and no other manufacturer- foreign or domestic. Barnett was the first to introduce the Kevlar friction material to the industry in 1991 and the Carbon friction material in 2000. Today Barnett continues to be run by three generations of the Barnett family at the Ventura, California facility. Built with passion, driven by performance.

After our initial video on the all-new 2023 Yamaha YZ450F where Kris Keefer got his first impressions at the GOAT Farm, Keefer is back for a second video on the machine. In this video, Keefer is joined by Steve Matthes, who spins some laps on the all-new bike and provides his feedback on the machine. Having time on the machine on soft and rutted East Coast dirt, Keefer compares that to the familiar hills and bumps of Glen Helen Raceway.

If you missed the in-depth initial impressions video from Keefer, make sure to check it out.

Film: Spencer Owens
