Since we’ve been riding the new Yamaha YZ450F we’ve wanted more stability and just a more planted feel with the new chassis Yamaha created in 2023. We’ve done a 2023 YZ450F “engine” Garage Build with Twisted Development but thought it would be beneficial to do a “chassis” build with the new generation frame. Adrian at Ride Engineering has been working hard on parts for this machine and this is the bike we came up with.
