AcceSsories
• Protect your engine from
logs and rocks.
There are lots of dirt bikes on the trail. But none that have the G 450 X’s revolutionary technology. Thanks
to a countershaft sprocket and swingarm on the same pivot, chain tension stays uniform for better power
delivery. An extra long swingarm means unstoppable traction. And with a gas tank under the seat for a low
center of gravity, a clutch on the crank shaft, and a fuel-injected electric start engine, the G 450 X is the most
original dirt bike ever made. No wonder two-time GNCC champ David Knight is racing one in the World Enduro
Championship. So prepare to shred.
