Overview

Introducing the 2007 GAS GAS EC250, a true gem in the realm of enduro-offroad motorcycles. Designed for both seasoned riders and enthusiastic newcomers, this bike stands out with its robust performance and agile handling. The EC250 is built for those who seek adventure in rugged terrains, combining lightweight construction with powerful capabilities. With its competitive edge in the enduro category, the EC250 is not just a motorcycle; it’s a companion for those who crave the thrill of the trail. At the heart of the EC250 lies a potent 249cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that delivers a thrilling performance. With a bore and stroke ratio of 66.4 mm and 72.0 mm, respectively, this engine is known for its responsive power delivery and impressive torque. The carburettor-fed Keihin PWK 38 mm fuel system ensures that the bike responds with agility, making it a joy to navigate through challenging obstacles. Coupled with a 6-speed gearbox and hydraulic multidisc clutch, the EC250 offers smooth gear transitions that enhance both acceleration and control. Riders can expect a fluid experience, whether they’re tackling steep inclines or navigating tight corners, thanks to its liquid cooling system that maintains optimal engine temperatures even during intense rides. The EC250 is equipped with cutting-edge features and technology that amplify its performance and rider experience. Its Deltabox frame, constructed from rectangular-profile Cr-Mo tubing, contributes to the bike’s lightweight yet durable nature, allowing it to withstand the rigors of off-road riding. The advanced suspension system includes an upside-down Marzocchi fork at the front and an Öhlins shock absorber at the rear, providing an impressive 295 mm and 310 mm of travel, respectively. This setup not only enhances stability but also absorbs shocks effectively, allowing for a smooth ride over rough terrains. The braking system is equally impressive, featuring double discs in the front and a single disc in the rear, ensuring confidence-inspiring stopping power when it matters most. **

  • Lightweight and Agile: At just 99 kg (218.3 lbs), the EC250 offers excellent maneuverability, making it easier to handle on trails and tough terrain.
  • Powerful Engine Performance: The 249cc engine provides a responsive and exhilarating ride, ideal for both casual and competitive riders.
  • Advanced Suspension System: With high-quality suspension components, the bike delivers superior comfort and control, absorbing bumps and enhancing stability.
