Once a champion, always a champion.
The concept seems as simple as it is ingenious. You take one of the most victorious enduro machines, the 450 XC-G Racing, and set your sights on raising its already high standards.
And the result is more than impressive. With a completely new engine and its trend-setting chassis, the 450 XC-F raises the benchmark right from the start. Up-to-the-minute technology, optimized for hard enduro use, perfectly packaged in a high-tech racing bike that is unsurpassed. Extremely lightweight, agile and immensely powerful – and there is only one goal in the rough and tumble E2 class: the podium.
