DIRT NEWS
GasGas has also updated the suspension with the WP XACT forks set-up to maintain forward momentum after heavy landings with a new hydrostop for improved bottoming resistance and a slightly slower rebound setting , while the all-new WP XACT shock is better performing and easily adjustable by hand for quick and easy trackside changes . Along with fresh plastic and the latest Red Bull / Troy Lee Designs / GasGas Factory Racing graphics , both factory edition bikes also gain a larger 7.9-litre fuel tank . In terms of electronics , both are equipped with Traction Control and Quickshifter , with a new map selector switch to easily activate Launch Control , Traction Control , and the Quickshifter . Both the MC 450F Factory Edition and MC 250F Factory Edition models will become available in the USA first in January , while the bikes will start arriving elsewhere in the world from March 2023 .
