2021 GasGas MC 450F

Get ready for awesome! Packed with innovative technology and pumping out seriously impressive performance, the MC 450F sure knows the meaning of fast. But with its precise and easy handling, super compact engine and class-leading electronic wizardry it's a big bike that's easy to ride and great for banging bars.

Features may include:

Red with a splash of white. That's the way we like it! The bodywork fitted to all GASGAS motocross bikes not only reflects our vibrant, Spanish personality but also ensures complete harmony between rider and bike. Considered ergonomics allow unrestricted movement while our flat, high-grip seat profile delivers comfort and control in all conditions.

• AIRBOX

Less time working on bikes means more time riding bikes, which is exactly why you'll love the straightforward, no tools needed filter mounting system on all GASGAS motocross bikes. Allowing quick and easy filter changes, the airbox is designed with precisely positioned inlet ducts that ensure maximum airflow and protection of the Twin Air filter.

The technology in our frames ensures riders enjoy playful handling and an energetic feeling on any motocross tracks. Underneath the red powder coating there's a lightweight chromium molybdenum steel, hydro-formed, laser-cut and robot-welded chassis that's built to perform. Designed to be rigid where it needs to be rigid and to flex where flex is needed, it provides exceptional rider feedback, energy absorption and straight-line stability.

• SUBFRAME

With a short and compact profile all GASGAS motocross subframes are made from lightweight aluminum. The profile helps centralize mass while also keeping weight down.

Big power and monstrous amounts of torque from a compact SOHC motor that weighs just 27kg, including the electric starter! The MC 450F rips but thanks to centralization being key to the motor's design, the 62 hp power unit is positioned more centrally within the frame, ensuring a positive effect on the bike's overall handling.

• CYLINDER HEAD

The MC 450F cylinder head is compact, lightweight and benefits from a short profile that locates the single camshaft as close to the center of gravity as possible. Why? To significantly improve the handling. With lightweight 40mm intake and 33mm exhaust valves activated by rocker arms that are coated in a low-friction Diamond Like Carbon (DLC), the SOHC cylinder head provides both torque and precise throttle response.

Fast is fun but slowing down is essential, which is why all GASGAS motocross bikes are fitted with Brembo calipers and controls. With 260mm front and 220mm (solid) rear disks, braking is easy, inspiring riders to push harder and ride faster.

• BREMBO HYDRAULIC CLUTCH

No need for adjustment and a near maintenance-free operation, but the best thing about the Brembo hydraulic clutch is that it delivers a perfectly smooth action time and time again. With lever free-play automatically adjusted, the biting point and function of the clutch remain constant no matter if it's hot or cold.

Super small but the best there is when it comes to processing engine data. Used to control all parameters linked to the fuel-injections system, the Keihin EMS unit also features a gear sensor that allows a tailored power delivery for each gear.

• 44 MM THROTTLE BODY

The MC 450F uses a 44mm Keihin throttle body with an injector positioned to ensure the most efficient flow of fuel mixture into the combustion chamber. But what's most important to all riders is the fact that the direct cable mounting system ensures an immediate throttle response.
