2024 GASGAS EC 450F

2024 GASGAS EC 450F

Meet one of the newest enduro bikes we're offering for 2024! The EC 450F brings excitement to our enduro range as a big-bore machine for anyone who loves riding at lower revs and still being fast. Its handling traits are typically kept for far smaller bikes, and it's made for serious enduro riding. Compliant WP suspension absorbs rough terrain, while Braktec brakes, a 6-speed transmission, and a modern chassis turn the EC 450F into a genuine blast to ride.

Features may include:

• BODYWORK

Completely red and completely new! Redesigned in full from nose to tail, the sleek bodywork is incredibly ergonomic, with bigger contact surfaces and a better rider triangle boosting control even more. The radiator shrouds are shaped to help you grip the bike better when you open the throttle. A super grippy seat cover also keeps you planted precisely in the spot you need.

• FRAME

What's a new-generation enduro bike without a new frame? The playful handling carries on for 2024 as the previous frame's best qualities, its razor-sharp cornering and straight-line stability that inspires confidence, have been kept. Yet somehow our engineering wizards managed to make the handling even better! How? The anti-squat behavior has been improved for maximum traction on corner exits, and across the frame the wall thickness has been revised in specific areas to boost rider feedback and energy absorption. Finishing the frame are a durable red powder coat and wear-preventing guards, which give your boots a bit of extra grip as well.

• MOTOR

Power whenever you want it! The SOHC motor may be light and compact, but it produces a monstrous amount of torque, which helps the EC 450F feel playful and lightweight even though it's a 'big bike'. The way the motor sits in the frame amplifies that feeling even more. Compared to the previous generation of GASGAS enduro bikes, it's tilted back 2 degrees, which centralizes mass and refines the anti-squat behavior, so the handling couldn't be any better. Who would have guessed the motor plays such a vital part in a bike's feel? Our engineers, of course!

• BRAKTEC BRAKES

Going fast is fun, but pretty often in enduro you'll have to slow down in a real hurry! That's exactly why every GASGAS enduro bike comes with the newest high-quality BRAKTEC calipers and brake controls. With a 260mm disk in front and a 220mm disk in back, the braking performance is seriously impressive, which encourages riders to push harder, go faster, and brake later.

• LED LIGHT

The all-new LED headlight completes the changes to the updated bodywork. At almost 3 times brighter, it truly illuminates your path as day becomes night. If the mask or the light ever gets damaged, the new two-piece design means you swap out only the broken part.
