GAS GAS GAS450 SMR
The GAS GAS GAS450 SMR enters the supermoto arena as a serious contender for the current model year, building upon a lineage focused on competition-ready off-road and track machines. This dedicated supermoto machine is engineered to challenge established rivals such as the KTM 450 SMR and Husqvarna FS 450, offering a distinct Spanish flavor in a highly competitive segment. It’s a motorcycle designed from the ground up to excel in the unique demands of supermoto racing and spirited street riding, where agility and raw power are paramount.
At the heart of the GAS450 SMR lies a potent 449.9 ccm (27.45 cubic inches) single-cylinder, four-stroke engine, providing robust power delivery for quick acceleration out of corners. This engine is housed within a lightweight chassis, contributing to the bike's svelte 101.0 kg (222.7 pounds) dry weight. Such a low mass, combined with the powerful engine, promises an impressive power-to-weight ratio. Fuel capacity stands at 7.20 litres (1.90 US gallons), which is typical for a competition-focused supermoto, prioritizing minimal weight over extended range.
Riding characteristics of the GAS GAS450 SMR are undoubtedly sharp and responsive, as expected from a supermoto. The relatively high seat height of 898 mm (35.4 inches) (if adjustable, lowest setting) positions the rider aggressively over the front wheel, facilitating precise steering and rapid changes of direction. Its supermoto-specific suspension and chassis geometry ensure exceptional cornering stability and flickability. The upright stance, coupled with wide handlebars, provides ample leverage for controlling the bike during aggressive maneuvers, making it a joy on twisty roads and supermoto tracks.
The GAS GAS450 SMR is unequivocally aimed at riders seeking a high-performance, track-oriented supermoto experience. It appeals to enthusiasts who value razor-sharp handling, a potent single-cylinder engine, and a lightweight package above all else. This isn't a touring bike, nor is it a casual commuter; it's a specialized machine for those who want to push limits on pavement, whether on a closed course or a challenging backroad. For riders who appreciate the raw, unfiltered essence of supermoto, the GAS450 SMR presents a compelling option.
