Unlimited Budget GasGas MC450F Build! - Motocross Action Magazine

The story started with a hardcore KTM racer named Kent Reed. Please forgive Kent for having more money and less self-control than the rest of the guys he lines up with behind the starting gate at his local track. He loves KTM Factory Editions; he loves expensive parts; he loves lavishing money on his bike.
This was probably one of the most amazing project bikes we have ever built. Yes, it looks cool, but that wasn’t what made it amazing. Yes, it had an esoteric mix of parts on it, but so do most project bikes. What was so amazing about it is that every test rider loved it. When the first test rider assigned to ride the GasGas MC 450F got through with all the setup required on the Coppersmith Aero/Hybrid forks and MX-Tech MXT National shock to suit his weight, speed and style, the next test rider rode it for three motos and never changed a thing. The third test rider came in and said, “Don’t change a thing; it’s perfect.” We made the fourth test rider make some changes, but he always returned to the settings that the first rider had selected two days earlier.
We’ve never seen that before. Test riders are a picky lot. They feel compelled to complain about something-or everything if they can get away with it. Not this time. Now that Kent Reed got his doctor’s release and wants to start racing next weekend, we are hesitant to give this bike back to him.

All the vet guys are rock hard rn 🔥
The real question is what did the customer/owner think of the bike....... Some cool tech in the build and well explained in the video.
Very cool build.
Haven't heard of that front fork setup before, pretty interesting and sounds like good results.
Given you did the natty shock, surprised you didn't look at the Blackjack forks.
I've got a set, its like riding a couch you can't bottom, I've never ridden on a fork that basically refuses to deflect wet roots wet rocks and can still run on a moto track no problem with a few clicks.
@@lukekelly5115 Thanks for the feedback. When you say you have a set is that the set in this video (Hybrid Ohlins) or the Blackjack forks?
You also mentioned tree roots and rocks.
Do you have it on enduro/woods bike or a motocross bike?
Sorry for all the questions, genuinely interested.
MX Tech shock isn't worth it for the normal guy, who will never do appropriate testing and take advantage of all the adjustability. Most riders & racers are luck if they set sag properly and do a couple of clicker adjustments per season
Good point, that MX Tech shock didn't look that well set up in the slow mo anyway.
@@vinceseyb2640 they also didnt mention theres a kyb shock you can put on a gas gas ktm or husky too
It looks insane and that's enough reason for some people to buy it .
I completely disagree, I rode a national shock on a husky 350 (I ride a ktm 350) and it was incredible. Gun against my head do a choose mx tech inserts in stock aer48 or National shock, id pick the natty. Riding felt safer, it's insane. I have the coppersmith setup as well. If the track never gets rough or you don't race on rough chewed up tracks then I guess it wouldn't be worth it but it would be life changing at amateur day out at RedBud
Great build and review!
Sick looking bike
Nice job 💯👌
Are you really running newton MMs on the fork clamps??? Thats a VERY low torque setting....
the voiceover was exceptional, as was the overall editing.... well done!
Would be interesting to see lap time difference to stock bike, see if it’s worth the extra 10k
you never mentioned the akropovic exhaust system, thats not stock
Not a word on exhaust..
MMmmm! Nice.
The only question I have is if money isn’t a factor why buy a budget KTM why not start with the Husky or KTM
Because all the stuff is getting stripped off and they look bad ass in red.
Air fork on 1 side and Öhlins on the other side doesn't look great at all. It's a little like wearing 2 different colour shoes.
Huh?...you know its internal right? The outside fork itself is still a wp
