Overview

Introducing the 2014 GAS GAS EC 200, a standout model in the realm of enduro-offroad motorcycles that perfectly balances performance, agility, and rider comfort. Renowned for its robust Spanish engineering, this bike is designed for those who crave the thrill of navigating rugged terrains while maintaining a lightweight, nimble feel. With its sleek design and striking color options of red, white, and black, the EC 200 not only catches the eye but also delivers an exhilarating riding experience that makes it a favorite among enthusiasts and competitive riders alike. At the heart of the EC 200 is a spirited 199.40 cc single-cylinder, two-stroke engine that produces a lively performance ideal for both trails and racing. Thanks to its advanced Keihin PKWS 38 mm carburetor and electronic ignition, the bike exhibits quick throttle response and impressive acceleration. The 6-speed gearbox allows riders to capitalize on its power band, providing a seamless transition through gears whether climbing steep inclines or barreling down dirt tracks. The liquid cooling system ensures optimal performance during extended rides, while the lightweight frame, tipping the scales at just 107 kg (235.9 lbs), enhances maneuverability and control, making it a joy to ride in the most challenging conditions. The EC 200 is equipped with cutting-edge features that elevate its performance capabilities. The perimeter frame, constructed from chrome-molybdenum, provides exceptional rigidity and stability, resulting in improved handling and cornering confidence. The suspension system, featuring Marzocchi Shiver forks up front and a Sachs mono shock in the rear, offers an impressive 298 mm of travel for both ends, absorbing bumps and obstacles effortlessly. With powerful braking capabilities from its wave discs—260 mm in the front and 220 mm in the rear—riders can trust in their stopping power, ensuring safety and precision on every ride. Additionally, the kick starter adds a touch of classic charm, perfect for those who appreciate traditional motorcycle mechanics. **

Pros

  • Lightweight and Agile: At just 107 kg, the EC 200 offers exceptional maneuverability on technical trails, allowing riders to navigate tight turns and obstacles with ease.
  • Responsive Engine Performance: The two-stroke engine delivers impressive acceleration and power, making it ideal for competitive racing and spirited off-road adventures.
  • Advanced Suspension System: With 298 mm of travel in both front and rear suspension, the bike provides superior shock absorption, enhancing comfort and control over rough terrain.

Cons

  • Kick Start Only: While some riders appreciate the classic kick-start mechanism, it may be less convenient for those accustomed to electric starters, especially in tricky situations.
  • Limited Fuel Capacity: With a fuel capacity of 9.50 liters (2.51 gallons), longer rides may necessitate more frequent refueling stops, which could be a drawback for extended adventures.
  • Seat Height Considerations: With a seat height of 959 mm (37.8 inches), it may pose a challenge for shorter riders, potentially affecting confidence and comfort during rides.
