2023 GAS GAS MC 450F Factory Edition

2023 GASGAS MC 450F Factory EditionWe're excited about this one! The all-new, all-awesome MC 450F Factory Edition is as close as it gets to the bike that Justin Barcia will race in 2023. A new engine, frame, swingarm, and plastics, as well as a pretty long list of racing-focused components from our Technical Accessories range have created a bike designed for winning. The MC 450F Factory Edition is the real deal and as good as it getsFeatures may include:STYLEBODYWORKFreshening up the bike's look and feel, there's all-new, super-cool bodywork from front to back! On the sides, larger contact areas make gripping the bike with your legs much, much easier while a refined rider triangle - the relationship between the bars, pegs, and seat - gives riders complete freedom of movement. Trust us, you'll notice this important revision as soon as you hit the track.TLD TEAM GRAPHICSAn MC 450F Factory Edition isn't a true replica bike without a full set of race team graphics crowned with the race number of Justin Barcia 51. And the best part is, most of the Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing stickers are applied using in-mold technology when the plastics are made. So there's no peeling, scratching, or staining which means this bike will always stand out from the crowd!HANDLINGFRAMEA serious amount of development work has gone into the new frame. The motor is now tilted back slightly compared to the previous model, moving it closer to the center of gravity, which in turn lowers the front sprocket by 3mm. This might sound like a small change, but on track you'll soon notice improved stability when accelerating out of corners.SUBFRAMEStrong and light, the tried and tested aluminum subframe plays an important role in the outstanding handling of the MC 450F Factory Edition as its low weight helps with mass centralisation. WP FORKSBuilt for serious racers, the 48mm split design air forks on the MC 450F Factory Edition have a slightly firmer setting to soak up big bumps and jumps, which allows you to get on the gas, attack the track, and chase after those all-important race wins!WP SHOCKAll-new and as good as it gets! Lower in weight and a little shorter in length, the overall travel of the WP shock remains unchanged at 300mm. The new design increases the ground clearance for the linkage which has undergone several changes to improve traction and absorption. All the settings are fully adjustable by hand, too. Pretty cool, right?
