2021 GASGAS EX 450F, 2021 GasGas EX 450F

Hold on and get ready to rip! The EX 450F will power you off the start and have you headed for the woods in an instant. The perfect bike for wide-open trails and fun, flowing single tracks, a 62hp motor delivers serious, torquey power and, for a 450, the WP suspension and high-tech steel, laser-cut and robot-welded frame ensure playful handling and awesome maneuverability.

Features may include:

Red. Very red and finished with just a little white! Enabling rider and bike to feel as one when darting in and out of trees, the vibrant bodywork on all GASAGAS cross country bikes is also a visual expression of our Spanish personality. Considered ergonomics allow unrestricted movement while our flat, high-grip seat profile delivers comfort and control in all conditions.

• AIRBOX

Allowing quick and easy filter changes, the airbox on all GASGAS cross country bikes is designed with precisely positioned inlet ducts that ensure maximum airflow and protection of the Twin Air filter. Ensuring perfect airflow to the engine guarantees maximum performance. The straightforward, no tools needed filter mounting system is super quick to use and 100 per cent reliable.

If you're going to race in the woods, you need to be tough! We build our frames to be tough using lightweight, laser-cut chromium molybdenum steel, which is robot welded for complete accuracy. We also ensure riders have complete confidence crossing tree roots and rocks thanks to specifically engineered flex. Together with proven geometry, our frames deliver playful handling and the very best stability and are finished with a durable, red powder coating.

• SUBFRAME

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

Make no mistake about it, the MC 450F rips! But thanks to centralization being key to the compact SOHC motor's design, the 62hp power unit is positioned more centrally within the frame, ensuring a positive effect on the bike's overall handling. It weighs just 27.3kg, including the electric starter!

• CYLINDER HEAD AND BALANCER SHAFT

The EX 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 coated in a low-friction Diamond Like Coating (DLC), the SOHC cylinder head produces both torque and precise throttle response.

From high-speed straightaways to technical forest single tracks, our Brembo brake calipers and high-performance 260mm front and 220mm rear discs deliver impressive stopping power and an all-imp
