On September 1, 2022, GASGAS revealed its limited edition 2023 RX 450F Replica that had been kept under wraps until that point. This bike is more than simply a graphics package; it was crafted in honor of Sam Sunderland’s historic victory at the 2022 Dakar Rally for the illustrious Spanish brand.
Instead, it is loaded with high-performance features and is ready to compete in some rallies of its own right out of the factory where it was manufactured.
The liquid-cooled, 450cc single-cylinder engine that powers both the MC 450F and the 2023 GASGAS RX 450F Replica features a bore and stroke measurement of 95mm x 63.4mm. The stronger, more robust version of this engine powers the 2023 GASGAS RX 450F Replica.
The air-to-fuel mixture is controlled by a Keihin throttle body with a 44mm bore size, and a Keihin engine management system ensures that everything runs smoothly.
Additionally, a connecting rod and piston manufactured by Pankl have been installed, in addition to the Brembo hydraulic clutch and the six-speed gearbox that have both been beefed up.
The front suspension is a top-of-the-line WP XPLOR PRO 7548 fork, and the rear suspension is a WP XPLOR PRO 7750 shock. Excel wheels are made of black anodized aluminum, and they come shod with Continental TKC80 tires.
Brembo makes a front brake disc that is 300 millimeters in diameter and a rear brake disc that is 240 millimeters in diameter.
The inclusion of high-specification components is not limited to only that, either. Other features include a super-light carbon fiber navigation tower, an Akrapovic exhaust, red anodized X-TRIG triple clamps, a red Supersprox Stealth rear sprocket, Neken handlebars, and a GASGAS branded Hinson clutch cover.
If you believe that this rally reproduction bike with its pure white paint appears a little too basic, there is also an optional sticker kit that you may use to pump up the visual loudness.
You are able to bring a total of 34 liters of fuel on board the RX 450F Replica because it is equipped with three different fuel tanks. This contains a subframe that may be used interchangeably as a gasoline tank of 16 liters. Electric starters and lithium-ion batteries are both included in the base model of this vehicle.
Where do we stand with regard to pricing and availability? The 2023 RX 450F Replica is described as a limited-edition model by GASGAS, but the company does not provide any information regarding the number of vehicles it intends to produce.
The good news for those who are interested in purchasing one of these bicycles is that GASGAS has stated that it does intend to offer them in countries all over the world in the near future.
However, pricing and availability can differ depending on where in the country you are located; therefore, the best way for you to obtain the most exact information is to get in touch with a GASGAS dealer in your area and ask any questions that you might have.
