Venom VMX450 1/4th scale dirt bike

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.
