Small and mighty! It may well be our smallest 4-stroke enduro bike, but make no mistake, it's big on being massively capable out there on the trails! Built to deliver good days in the dirt, the GasGas EC 250F at Lings GasGas really is a stunner with its vibrant red bodywork and race-tested components. Ride it hard and you'll be rewarded with a high-revving experience that's simply unrivaled. Ride it on the torque curve and you'll also be smiling beneath that helmet of yours.
Powering the EC 250F is a compact 249.9 cm³, 1-cylinder, 4-stroke DOHC engine, which is exceptionally light, weighing just 27.8 kg. This engine is positioned to centralize mass, ensuring the bike handles with playful agility. The DOHC cylinder head features DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coated finger followers for minimal friction and optimal performance. A compact, multifunctional counter balancer shaft counteracts rotational forces, reducing unwanted vibrations. Fuel is delivered by a 42mm Keihin throttle body with Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI), ensuring a clean, crisp, and strong power throughout the rev range. An electric starter and a 2 Ah lithium-ion battery ensure reliable ignition. The 6-speed wide-ratio, enduro-specific transmission, made by Pankl Racing Systems, is smooth-shifting and super durable. The Dampened Diaphragm Steel (DDS) clutch with Braktec hydraulics provides consistent action.
Now even easier to turn thanks to an updated frame, our little red rocket remains stable at high speed and nimble through tight and technical going. The central double-cradle-type 25CrMo4 steel frame features new, lighter motor mounts that improve flex characteristics without sacrificing straight-line stability. Material has been removed around the upper shock mount, and wall thickness at the front of the frame is slightly reduced, saving 300g. The all-aluminium subframe is light, strong, and helps to centralize mass. Forged aluminum triple clamps offer precise flex, aligning the fork tubes perfectly for a smooth action and predictable handling.
WP suspension components deliver superior comfort and control. Up front, WP XPLOR Open Cartridge forks offer 300mm of travel and are easily adjustable by hand for compression and rebound. The WP XACT rear shock continues to offer 300mm of travel, with performance enhanced for 2025 thanks to new, lower friction seals in the linkage and a lighter linkage bolt. Braktec calipers with GasGas specific brake disks (260mm front, 220mm rear) ensure amazing braking performance. Bigger footpegs offer a larger surface area for maximum grip and are less likely to catch in deep ruts. The unmistakable, all-red bodywork for a classic GasGas look, with new black-emblazoned graphics applied using IML technology, stays super fresh for a long time. NEKEN handlebars with lock-on ODI grips ensure a comfortable setup. A super slim, transparent polythene fuel tank allows you to see the fuel level. Yeah, it's pretty versatile. Hands down, the EC 250F is as good as it gets when it comes to having serious off-road fun.
