Prefer technical hard enduro to dodging trees at speed? Well, if it's the extreme stuff that gets you going, then our GasGas EC 300 at Lings GasGas is definitely for you! Designed from the wheels up to take on the gnarliest terrain, this ultra-modern enduro steed is light, powerful, and makes easy work of everything in its path.
At its heart is a powerful 293.15 cm³, 1-cylinder, 2-stroke engine, weighing just 24.6 kg. This engine is designed to churn out masses of low-down torque and top-end fury, making it the ideal companion when tackling challenging terrain. It features Throttle Body Injection (TBI) via a 39 mm Keihin throttle body, ensuring a clean, crisp, and strong power throughout the rev range. The Vitesco Technologies EMS continuously analyzes air and water temperature, crankcase pressure, RPM, and throttle position to deliver the perfect fuel mix. An electronic exhaust control system manages the opening of the lateral exhaust ports for maximum power delivery, and an electronic oil pump feeds vital 2-stroke oil. An electric starter ensures reliable ignition, while a laterally mounted counter balancer shaft significantly reduces vibration for enhanced comfort during long rides. A wide-ratio, 6-speed, enduro-specific transmission, made by Pankl, is smooth-shifting and super durable, with every gear change positive in all conditions, thanks to a gear lever designed to prevent mud build-up.
With tons of torque down low, and supple, easy-to-adjust WP suspension, those long, grueling days on the bike are made much more enjoyable aboard the EC 300. The central double-cradle-type 25CrMo4 steel frame ensures playful handling, razor-sharp cornering, and confidence-inspiring straight-line stability. It features optimized wall thickness and a new shock mount, which significantly improves the anti-squat behavior for better traction. The two-piece subframe, made from 60% polyamide and 40% aluminium, provides exceptional strength at a low weight. WP XPLOR 48 mm open-cartridge forks offer 300 mm of travel and are easily adjustable by hand for compression and rebound. The WP XACT monoshock with linkage also provides 300 mm of travel, with performance taken up a notch for 2025 thanks to new, lower friction seals in the linkage and a smaller diameter linkage bolt, saving a little weight. High and low speed compression, as well as rebound, can all be fine-tuned quickly and easily for maximum comfort and traction.
Braking is handled by Braktec calipers, with a 260 mm front disc and a 220 mm rear disc, ensuring 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 lets you see the fuel level, and a stronger rubber support holds the fuel tank firmly in place while protecting the frame. So, where are you taking yours?
