2017 450 SX-F Highlights

NEW WP AER 48 front fork with a sophisticated air spring design and separate damping for easy adjustment to any track condition, rider weight or skill level. The fork is now 3.1 pounds lighter than the 4CS unit it replaces
NEW rear suspension settings and softer rear spring are perfectly matched to the WP AER 48 front fork
NEW Handlebar map switch that also activates TRACTION CONTROL and Launch Control for enhanced traction for the start, middle and end of the race
NEW top triple clamp supports the new flex characteristic of the WP AER 48 fork for better action and reduced friction
NEW Handlebar clamps feature a separated lower clamp and bridge-type upper clamp for more torsional stiffness
NEW 10mm longer rear brake pedal and less aggressive brake pads provide better modulation and control
NEW Aluminum head stays are 60 grams lighter than the steel they replace
A lightweight Chromoly steel frame provides high torsional rigidity with less longitudinal stiffness resulting in excellent handling and energy absorption
