In stock trim , the MC450F is an awesome motocross machine , but GasGas ’ curiosity got the better of them and the design team decided to transform one into a fully-fledged Supermoto . After beginning with the essentials - a specific wheelset and tyres , stronger brakes , and shortened suspension , which are all readily available from the GASGAS Technical Accessories range - the final components were then added to make this a true Supermoto . Since coming under the ownership of KTM , GasGas has seen a lot of investment across the board in bringing the brand up to date with not only the latest in modern technology ( thanks to using KTM models as a base ), but it has also seen the brand move in to segments it has never previously had a foothold in . After the Supermoto build , it appears GasGas has next set its sights on the big-bore enduro world with reports of a road-going ES700 enduro and an SM700 Supermoto – both based on the same platform as the KTM 690 Enduro and Husqvarna 701 – which are expected to be released later in 2022 .
