Be More Bam Bam With The New MC 450F Troy Lee Designs

Introducing The First Ever GASGAS Race Team Edition Motocross Bike

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 with a Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing graphics kit, to make sure it looks every bit as good as it performs.

  • GASGAS launches first ever race team replica motocross bike
  • Technical Accessories enhance the awesome 450cc machine
  • MC 450F Troy Lee Designs available in dealerships worldwide

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…

  • Replica Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing graphics from the 2021 season
  • A set of #51 decals for those who wish to go full Bam Bam in 2022
  • Troy Lee Designs Factory Racing Seat
  • Softer ODI Lock-On Grips
  • Factory Racing Triple Clamps (anodized red)
  • Factory Wheels (black)
  • Dunlop tires
  • Black rear sprocket
  • Gold chain
  • Factory Start Device
  • Semi-Floating Front Disc
  • Front Brake Disc Guard
  • Composite Skid Plate
  • Frame Protection Kit (red)
  • Hourmeter
  • Map Select Switch
  • Akrapovic “Slip-On Line” exhaust system
  • Hinson Outer Clutch Cover
  • Black Neken Fatbar with GASGAS bar pad
  • Firmer suspension settings

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. Quick and easy changes in the power delivery can be made thanks to a handlebar mounted Map Select Switch.

For improved handling, the MC 450F Troy Lee Designs motocross bike features 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.

All-New GASGAS Electric Balance Bikes Available Now

GASGAS factory replica models open the door to a world of two-wheel fun.

Start them young and keep it fun – there’s no better way! Knowing just how important it is for youngsters to develop essential skills at an early age, we’ve formed an exciting partnership with electric balance bike leader Stacyc™ to launch two exciting new GASGAS Factory Replica electric balance bikes. Available in two sizes – the 12eDrive and 16eDrive – the bikes are equipped with three power modes and feature adjustable seat heights to ensure children up to the age of eight gain maximum enjoyment while staying safe.

  • GASGAS add two balance bikes to its electric powered range
  • Riders as young as four safely introduced to riding on two wheels
  • 60-minute run time and super-fast recharging for day-long fun

Whether it’s for beginners looking to get their first taste of life on two wheels or more experienced boys or girls pushing the limits around their local pump track, the GASGAS Replica 12eDrive and 16eDrive electric balance bikes are perfectly suited to a wide range of riders.

The GASGAS Factory Replica Stacyc™ 12eDrive is the perfect choice for little rippers who are just getting started with riding bikes. With 12” wheels and a low, but adjustable 13” seat height, the basics of pushing off, coasting, and balance can be discovered safely.

Featuring a higher-spec, high-output brushless motor with added low-end power and a top speed of 20kmph, the GASGAS Factory Replica Stacyc™ 16eDrive is the right choice for slightly taller kids or for those with a little more experience. Rolling on 16” wheels and with a 17” seat height, together with a strong aluminum frame, offroad exploration is unlocked.

With a 60-minute run time and super-fast recharging, both models guarantee day-long fun and massive smiles! Essential riding skills are also learned along the way as youngsters can safely explore how to use a throttle, brake, and learn how momentum is always your friend when cornering. All skills that will remain with kids for life. In short, they help develop both all-important hand-eye coordination and balance, at a rapid rate.

Once kids have mastered the fundamentals while whizzing around full throttle, the GASGAS MC-E 5 is next in line on their dirt biking journey. With an adjustable seat height and six selectable power modes, it’s the perfect bike on which to enjoy serious motocross fun!

For those looking to customize their ride, young shredders have the opportunity to show their support for their favorite GASGAS Factory Racing team rider as we’ve included a selection of number plate decals with each bike. Fans of 450SX rider Justin Barcia can proudly display the #51 on their bike, while those who prefer a more extreme approach can run hard enduro star Taddy Blazusiak’s iconic #111. We’ve also included a #1, for all those aspiring future champions.

It’s super-exciting for us to add the GASGAS Factory Replica balance bikes to our line-up, joining the MC-E 5 motocross bike in our electric powered range. Available from June at your local dealer or check them out online today! Availability may differ from country to country.

Say Hello To The GASGAS Bicycles E-MTB Line-Up

Trail Cross

Exciting 11-bike pedal-assist mountain bike range expands the GASGAS family

Here they are! Increasing our line-up of performance bikes, we’re super excited to announce the arrival of our 2021 Enduro Cross, Trail Cross, Cross Country and Dual Cross eMTB bicycles. Introducing 11 pedal-assist mountain bikes, we’ve used our technical know-how, experience, and passion to create a range of bikes to suit everyone, enabling riders to hit the trails and seek out fun and adventure.
  • 11-bike 2021 Enduro Cross, Trail Cross, Cross Country and Dual Cross line-up
  • State-of-the-art Yamaha motors at the heart of all GASGAS Bicycles
  • GASGAS Bicycles team up with MTB Trial world champion Kenny Belaey

Ushering in a new era, we’ve ensured that GASGAS Bicycles are now flying the flag in key sectors of the mountain biking and leisure trekking bike market. With our focus on pedal-assist cycling and e-mobility, our full model line-up of Enduro Cross, Trail Cross, Cross Country and Dual Cross bikes have been thoughtfully designed with each catering to the specific needs, technical abilities, and budgets of a wide range of riders. With 11 bikes (did we mention that!) available across the entire range, riders can be sure to find a build option that’s right for them.

For hardcore eMTB riders, the Enduro Cross and Trail Cross models will definitely get the blood pumping. Put simply, the Enduro Cross is a must have for those serious about downhill fun. With Yamaha mounted motors and internal batteries helping to flatten out the steepest of climbs, its long-travel suspension, slack geometry and mixed wheel sizes ensure the rowdiest of trails can be confidently tamed.

If big, open mountain adventures are your passion, our Trail Cross is the bike for you. The full-suspension eMTB is built to tackle rides where climbing and descending is the name of the game – those super fun singletrack trails and exposed mountain-side tracks that put the biggest smiles on riders’ faces.

Staying true to our belief that there should be a bike to suit everyone’s individuality and needs, the Cross Country and Dual Cross models offer the best of on-and-off-road cycling. A perfect entry point to eMTB, our Cross Country is key to building those singletrack skills and confidence, while opening up a whole new world of cycling. Ready for all occasions, the trekking-focused Dual Cross delivers the best of both road and mountain biking. A thoroughbred workhorse, it takes work commutes and scenic bike rides in its stride.

All our GASGAS Bicycles proudly feature a Yamaha motor at the heart of their build. The originators of pedal assisted cycling, these drive units are tried and trusted across the mountain biking community and boast cutting-edge technology.

Enduro Cross

Helping to grow the visibility of GASGAS Bicycles at the track and on the trails will be GASGAS Motorcycles’ factory racers, together with free-riding supremo Adrian Guggemos. Super talented on all forms of two-wheeled bikes, watch out for Adrian as he gets loose on his Enduro Cross.

We’re also super happy to announce that Kenny Belaey has officially come onboard, getting in on the GASGAS action on his Enduro Cross bike. With multiple MTB Trial world titles in his back pocket, his skills on two wheels are simply amazing. We’re kinda excited to see what he’s got planned during the weeks and months ahead!

For model year 2021, GASGAS Bicycles will be available in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, Italy, France, Netherlands, Belgium, with further market expansion into North America already planned for our 2022 models.

For more information on the new range of GASGAS Bicycles, contact your local GASGAS dealer.
