Overview

Introducing the 2022 GAS GAS MC 450F, a formidable contender in the cross-motocross category that seamlessly blends performance with cutting-edge technology. As part of the renowned Spanish brand GAS GAS, this motorcycle is engineered for those who seek adrenaline-fueled adventures on rugged terrains. With its striking red and white aesthetics, the MC 450F not only stands out visually but also promises an exhilarating ride that caters to both seasoned racers and enthusiastic hobbyists alike. At the heart of the MC 450F is its robust 449.9 ccm engine, featuring a precise bore and stroke of 95.0 x 63.4 mm. This powerhouse employs a sophisticated fuel injection system and is governed by a Keihin EMS ignition, delivering impressive throttle response and power across the RPM range. The liquid cooling system ensures optimal performance during heated competition, while the 5-speed gearbox allows for quick and seamless gear changes, making it a breeze to navigate through challenging terrains. Riders will appreciate the motorcycle's lightweight design, weighing in at just 100 kg (220.5 pounds), which contributes to its agile handling and maneuverability, empowering riders to tackle jumps and sharp corners with confidence. The MC 450F comes equipped with advanced features that enhance both performance and comfort. Its central double-cradle-type frame, constructed from durable 25CrMo4 steel, provides exceptional stability and rigidity, crucial for those high-speed runs. The WP XPLOR-USD front suspension, with an impressive travel of 310 mm (12.2 inches), and the WP XACT Monoshock rear suspension, offering 300 mm (11.8 inches) of travel, ensure that riders experience superior shock absorption over rough terrain. Coupled with powerful brakes—260 mm (10.2 inches) in the front and 220 mm (8.7 inches) in the rear—this motorcycle guarantees precise stopping power, allowing for confident cornering and sudden stops. **

Pros

  • Lightweight and Agile: At just 100 kg, the MC 450F is easy to handle, providing exceptional maneuverability on the track or trail.
  • Powerful Engine Performance: The 449.9 ccm engine delivers robust power and quick response, ideal for competitive racing or spirited trail riding.
  • Advanced Suspension: The state-of-the-art WP suspension systems offer excellent shock absorption and stability, enhancing rider comfort and control over challenging terrains.

Cons

  • Seat Height: With a seat height of 950 mm (37.4 inches), it may be less accessible for shorter riders, potentially affecting comfort and control.
  • Fuel Capacity: The 7-liter (1.85 US gallons) fuel tank may require frequent refueling during longer rides or races, which could disrupt momentum.
  • Market Presence: As a relatively newer player in the motocross segment compared to established brands, GAS GAS may not have the same extensive dealer network or aftermarket support.
