First Look - GASGAS MC 450F Troy Lee Designs Edition | Barcia Edish - Motocross Feature

Vital MX's Take: GASGAS has announced a Troy Lee Designs edition of their MC 450F, or in this case a BAMBAM edish! No, this bike is not the new platform as KTM and Husky received, but the current version that the TLD is on. As such, think of this as the Factory Edition we usually see which is the current bike with a bunch of goodies sprinkled in. Outside of the TLD team look, the main upgrades are a Akrapovic slip-on, added map selection switch, factory racing triple clamps, wheelset, and a stiffer suspension setting front and rear. Bikes will be available in February and there's no set price yet.

Press Release - Check this out! Taking the awesome MC 450F and installing the very best Technical Accessories to make it even better, the all-new MC 450F Troy Lee Designs motocross bike is loaded with factory team hardware to create a race machine that’s capable of winning at the very highest level. Faster and even more fun to ride than the standard GASGAS 450cc motocrosser, this awesome bike is finished off with a Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing graphics kit to ensure it looks every bit as good as it performs.

Heavily inspired by Justin Barcia’s AMA Supercross and Pro Motocross race-winning machine, we’ve fitted many of the very same parts used by Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing to create what we think is one hell of a great performing, and cool looking, race replica. Just take a look at the full list of what’s included on the all-new MC 450F Troy Lee Designs motocross bike…

We’ve unlocked a little more power from the compact MC 450F motor by adding a lightweight Akrapovič Slip-On Line exhaust system, giving significantly improved torque and an overall performance boost. A Map Select Switch allows for quick and easy changes in the power delivery thanks to a handlebar mounted Map Select Switch.

For improved handling, the MC 450F Troy Lee Designs motocross bike comes fitted with firmer WP XACT suspension settings, with the forks held in place by adjustable, red anodized Factory Racing Triple Clamps. For additional comfort, we’ve fitted softer ODI Lock-On grips and installed a TLD Factory Racing seat cover to keep you firmly in place while getting on the gas.

The MC 450F Troy Lee Designs machine comes fitted with our Factory Wheels in black. Rock solid and super-cool looking, they’re fitted with Dunlop’s Geomax MX33 tires. We’ve also bolted a Semi-floating Front Disc to the front wheel to improve braking performance with a Front Brake Disc guard keeping the disc safe and out of harm’s way.

Finally, finishing the MC 450F Troy Lee Designs off in style is an extended list of parts from our Technical Accessories range. From front to back, there’s a Factory Start Device, Neken handlebars, a Composite Skid Plate, Hinson Clutch Cover, a red Frame Protection Kit, a black Rear Sprocket and a gold chain. Plus, to keep on top of service intervals, we’ve installed an Hour Meter, so you’ll never lose track of just how many hours you’ve spent on this awesome bike!
