One potential criticism of the brand new GP450 lightweight overland adventure bike from CCM is that it retains the original (racing) close-ratio gearbox from the BMW G450X enduro. The NR/RRP wide ratio upgrade also extends the overall gear spread from a modest 64.3% to 72.7% - again, dramatically expanding the useful spread of gears, allowing you to retain low gearing for off-road work, while also reducing the revs at higher cruising speeds.
Because of the design of the G450X gearbox, the new wide-ratio gear-set is suppled as individual [loose] gears, and will need to be assembled on the existing shafts with the corresponding OEM circlips/washers/bushes - although this does offer purchasers a useful cost saving in return.
Should you wish to have either gear-set professionally installed, our UK service agents Torque Racing Services can fit either gear-set (including dismantling and rebuilding your engine with a new full set of gaskets) - for a fixed price of £450.00 to a supplied/bare engine, or £750.00 for a complete ride-in/ride-out service.
These gear sets are manufactured in the UK by Nova Racing.
