Overview

Introducing the 2009 GAS GAS EC 200, a standout in the world of enduro motorcycles that has captured the hearts of off-road enthusiasts. With its lightweight frame and agile handling, the EC 200 is designed for those who seek adventure in the great outdoors. Whether you're navigating through rugged terrains or tackling technical trails, this bike offers a perfect blend of power and precision. GAS GAS has long been associated with high-performance off-road machines, and the EC 200 continues that legacy, providing riders with an exhilarating experience that is both challenging and rewarding. At the heart of the EC 200 is a potent 199.40cc single-cylinder, two-stroke engine that delivers impressive power and torque for its class. The engine's bore and stroke measurements of 62.5mm by 65.0mm facilitate a responsive throttle response, allowing riders to easily navigate through tight corners and steep inclines. Fueled by a 38mm carburetor and ignited by a digital magnetic flywheel, the engine offers a smooth power delivery that is further enhanced by a 6-speed gearbox that allows for quick gear changes. With liquid cooling to maintain optimal temperatures, the EC 200 promises a thrilling ride that doesn’t sacrifice reliability. Equipped with advanced suspension and braking technology, the 2009 GAS GAS EC 200 ensures that riders can handle various terrains with confidence. The Deltabox frame, constructed from rectangular-profile Cr-Mo tubing, provides both strength and lightweight maneuverability. The front end features a robust 45mm upside-down fork with an impressive 295mm of travel, complemented by a progressive rear suspension system with an aluminum swingarm that offers 310mm of travel. Stopping power is equally impressive with a 260mm front disc and 220mm rear disc, both supported by reliable double-piston calipers. The bike also sports a comfortable seat height of 945mm, making it accessible for a wide range of riders. **

Pros

  • Lightweight and Agile: At just 95.0 kg (209.4 lbs), the EC 200 allows for nimble handling and easy maneuverability on challenging trails.
  • Strong Engine Performance: The two-stroke engine delivers exhilarating acceleration and a responsive ride, making it ideal for both novice and experienced riders.
  • Advanced Suspension System: The high-quality suspension components provide excellent handling and stability, absorbing bumps with ease and enhancing overall ride comfort.

Cons

  • Kick Start Only: The absence of an electric start may deter some riders who prefer the convenience of a push-button ignition.
  • Limited Fuel Capacity: With a fuel tank capacity of only 9.50 liters (2.51 gallons), longer rides may require planning for fuel stops.
  • Height Consideration: With a seat height of 945 mm (37.2 inches), shorter riders may find it challenging to reach the ground comfortably, potentially impacting confidence on technical climbs.
