Get on the gas into 2025 with the MC 450F Prado Edition! Built with many of the same parts used on the GASGAS Jorge raced to become 2023 MXGP World Champion, this limited-edition model is as close as it gets to being a full factory dirt bike. It was 20 years ago when Prado first dreamt of becoming a world champion, and in 2023 he secured the most prestigious motocross title of them all with Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing. Dream big and achieve your goals with our MC 450F Prado Edition!
BODYWORK
This Factory Edition's bodywork not only looks awesome, but it helps you to ride awesome too! A modern rider triangle makes your movement on the bike super easy and with plenty of touch points for gripping the bike with your legs, you'll benefit from reduced fatigue, which means increased riding time. A slightly larger rear fender keeps more mud at bay while a new front fender design incorporates the GPS sensor that records your lap times and performances on track. Topping things off is a red tank cover and a new Selle Dalla Valle seat cover, which features additional ribs to keep you planted firmly in place as you GET ON THE GAS!
RED BULL GASGAS FACTORY RACING TEAM GRAPHICS
As fresh as it gets! The MC 450F Prado Edition is finished with Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing's graphics for the 2024 season, and the season hasn't even started yet! They're applied using in-mold technology so there's no fading or peeling, no matter how hard you ride. The number plates are plain white so you can add you own number, or for those who wish to create a full replica bike we've also thrown in the MXGP World Champion's iconic #61 numbers. Finally, each Prado Edition includes something very special - an additional front number plate featuring the #1 and Jorge's signature!
FACTORY SEAT
A new, red and blue, full gripper seat cover matches the graphics perfectly and features additional ribs to keep you firmly in place when getting on the gas!
FRAME PROTECTION KIT
The redesigned Frame Protection Kit protects the frame and provides ample grip for your feet. Now made with a red base and a slightly raised black center section that features a grippy texture, the new frame protection kit is super effective when you’re out on track.
FRAME
So much testing and development went into designing and building our frames last year, but that doesn’t mean our engineers haven’t worked on refining things even further! New, redesigned motor mounts, finished with a black anodizing for a true race team look, improve chassis flex while retaining the bike’s straight-line stability. Around the shock mounting area, new cut outs in the frame, together with a slightly thinner wall thickness at the front of the chassis, reduces overall weight. With all these revisions, the bike is now much more settled when entering corners.
SUBFRAME
Strong and light, the tried and tested aluminum subframe plays an important role in the outstanding handling of the MC 450F Factory Edition as its low weight helps with mass centralization.
WP FORKS
Built for serious racers, the 48mm split design air forks do an incredible job of soaking up big bumps and jumps, which allows you to get on the gas, attack the track, and chase after those all-important race wins!
WP SHOCK
As good as it gets! Low in weight, the performance of the WP shock is next level. The linkage has been updated for 2024 with new seals to reduce friction while a smaller diameter bolt connecting the shock to the linkage is lighter than before. All of the shock settings remain adjustable by hand.
BREMBO BRAKES
It’s all well and good having a super-fast dirt bike, but even the fastest riders need to slow down from time to time! This is why we’ve fitted a race-tested Semi-floating Front Disc up front, to ensure incredible stopping power and to make sure you hit your line through every corner. And for continued performance, it’s protected by a Factory Racing Brake Disc Guard made from lightweight and strong 2K carbon composite. At the rear, a new and stronger brake pedal improves durability while a Brembo caliper and a brake disc designed exclusively for GASGAS takes care of business.
DRIVE TRAIN
It’s only right that the rear Factory Wheel has a black anodized aluminum sprocket to replicate the race team look. In addition, a gold chain looks the business and lasts way longer than a traditional chain.
FACTORY SKID PLATE
Fitting neatly around the underside of the 450cc motor, the Factory Racing Skid Plate offers incredible protection from rocks, roost, and will stop just about anything from damaging the motor out on the track. This carbon-reinforced engine shield extends around both sides of the motor. The clutch and ignition covers are well protected too.
FACTORY START DEVICE
Helping you grab the all-important holeshot, we’ve installed a Factory Start Device on the MC 450F Factory Edition. Lock it in, wait for the gate drop, then Get On The Gas!
POWER PLANT
The MC 450F Factory Edition is fitted with the latest and best 450cc motor we've ever made. It's super-compact, lighter, improves handling, and our engineers have made it even easier to work on. You're gonna love it!
CYLINDER HEAD
There’s a lot packed into the cylinder head! Light and compact and with the camshaft positioned as close to the center of gravity as possible, the on-track performance is next level in terms of rideability and overall handling. The fine-punched cam chain is designed to reduce friction while the Diamond Like Carbon (DLC) finish on the rocker arm makes everything run oh so smoothly while remaining super durable.
CYLINDER & PISTON
A CP piston boosts performance while being incredibly lightweight. It’s designed for racing and to last. Thanks to engineering wizardry, annular grooves add durability that guarantee long service intervals.
GEARBOX
Lightweight and durable, the five-speed Gearbox is made by Pankl Racing Systems so you just know that it’s going to be good! In addition to being engineered for smooth shifting, a clever sensor engages a specific engine map that’s tailored for each gear, to deliver the best performance possible.
MAP SELECT SWITCH
Customize the power delivery to suit your style with the Map Select Switch. With a simple press of a button, you can choose from either the stock map for a smooth and controllable power delivery, or the aggressive map for those who like a harder hit. Using the switch, you’ll also be able to activate traction control for slippery circuits, launch control for nailing perfect starts, and the quickshifter for super-smooth upshifts, even when you’re wide open!
QUICKSHIFT
Ideal for heavy track conditions, the Quickshift allows for super-smooth upshifting from second gear upwards - even when wide open and without the need to use the clutch! It’s super easy to activate on the Map Select Switch.
LAUNCH CONTROL
Getting you out in front at the start of every race, Launch Control delivers maximum traction from the moment you drop the clutch and Get On The Gas! To activate, simply press the traction control and quickshift buttons at the same time while the motor is idling then get ready to hold on tight!
TRACTION CONTROL
When riding hardpack or other slippery circuits, activating Traction Control will make things so much easier. If the RPM picks up too quickly, it works by harnessing the power to maintain forward momentum, even in the slickest conditions.
