Gas Wild HP 450 ATV Motocross Test Ride
Review |
|
| The
Gas Gas Wild 450 includes an aftermarket
chassis that boasts Chrome-Moly constuction |
The frame appears to be designed after an aftermarket
Honda style chassis that boasts Chrome- Moly construction.
Yes, a factory ATV with a race inspired chassis
made of a material that you can only find on full
aftermarket frames. Geez, folks in the industry
have been calling for something like this for
years, I guess Gas Gas was listening! Now I don’t
mean looks almost like an aftermarket chassis,
I mean for all intensive purposes, if there was
the Gas Gas frame and a common aftermarket frame
on the bench, you would have trouble picking the
two apart. And the frame isn’t the only
component that derives its design from race engineered
parts.
The Chrome-Moly control arms are the spitting
image of aftermarket units sold the world over
and even include the heavier, replaceable and
adjustable Frap style ball joints. Yes sir,
no crappy stock joints built into the arm, this
is an aftermarket design with construction that
should be up to the test for most any rider.

| Adjustable
Chrom-Moly arms with long journey shock
absorbers and variable damping, that even
iclude replaceable and adjustable Frap
style ball joints. |
Out back we find the standard cast aluminum
swing arm that looks more like a Yamaha unit
but from initial testing, may indeed accept
most Honda 450r parts. Even the stock front
bumper has its design based on popular aftermarket
units.
