Categories - Bikes, Products, Venom - add a comment
Having shown you photos off the prototype at the Nuremberg toy fair last week, here we have the official release for the 1/4th scale VMX450 dirt bike from Venom. With true to scale details, the realistic Motocross performance will leave you thinking that you’re a Supercross hero as you clear the triple and blast the whoop section on your own backyard track. The VMX chassis was an exercise in compact functional space management while keeping a true to life look of a full-scale 450 moto-cross bike. Covering up all that work would be a shame if it wasn’t for a very detailed and realistic looking body set styled after contemporary 450 race bikes.
