Built with world championship-winning pedigree, our awesome GasGas MC 450F at Lings GasGas is, well, awesome! This exceptional dirt bike delivers serious performance, but thanks to plenty of high-level electronic wizardry, the power is put to the ground in a super rideable way. Put simply, you'll be going fast without realizing it.
Powering the MC 450F is a compact SOHC 449.9 cc, 1-cylinder, 4-stroke engine. This motor delivers monstrous amounts of torque and peak power. It's perfectly positioned inside the frame to centralize mass for superior handling, ensuring the bike rides and handles like a dream. Fuel is delivered by a 44mm Keihin throttle body with a directly mounted throttle cable, guaranteeing instant response. The robust and super-reliable Damped Diaphragm Steel (DDS) clutch, housed in a CNC machined steel basket, helps get the power to the ground smoothly. An electric starter and lightweight Li-Ion battery ensure easy starting every time. The Keihin EMS is small, light, and fast at processing data, managing each gear's engine map, including a rollover sensor that cuts ignition during big crashes, and feeding information to the hour meter. With an optional Map Select Switch, you can activate Launch Control, Traction Control, and Quickshifter functions, along with two engine maps for customized power.
The frame, which received a comprehensive overhaul for this generation, is the backbone of the bike's incredible handling. It's engineered to provide exceptional straight-line stability while remaining incredibly agile and settled through corners. The all-aluminium subframe is light, strong, and works as one with the main frame, helping to centralize mass and improve rider feel. Forged aluminum triple clamps offer precise flex and align the fork tubes perfectly for smooth action and predictable handling.
High-performance 48mm, split-air WP XACT forks deliver consistent damping and are easily adjustable by hand on the outside, with an included air pump for a truly customized setup. The WP XACT rear shock, with 300mm of travel, soaks up big bumps with ease, keeping the rear wheel planted for maximum traction. Braktec calipers with GasGas specific brake disks (260mm front, 220mm rear) ensure amazing braking performance, allowing riders to stay on the gas longer and brake later into corners. Bigger footpegs offer a larger surface area for maximum grip and are less likely to catch in deep ruts. The unmistakable, all-red bodywork for a classic GasGas look, with bold graphics applied using IML technology, stays super fresh for a long time. NEKEN handlebars with lock-on ODI grips ensure a comfortable setup. The one-piece air intake guarantees maximum airflow, and a robust tank support holds the fuel tank firmly in place while protecting the frame.
