Overview

Introducing the 2011 GAS GAS EC 300 2T E, a revered contender in the enduro-offroad motorcycle arena. With its robust heritage forged in the rugged terrains of Spain, the EC 300 is not just another off-road bike; it’s a finely-tuned machine designed for both competitive riders and adventure seekers alike. Its lightweight design combined with a powerful two-stroke engine makes it a favorite among motocross enthusiasts who crave agile handling and spirited performance on trails, hills, and challenging landscapes. At the heart of the EC 300 lies a potent 297cc single-cylinder, two-stroke engine that’s engineered to deliver exhilarating power and torque. The 72.5 mm bore and stroke provide a balanced powerband, ensuring that riders experience a strong punch of acceleration when they twist the throttle. With a Keihin 38 mm carburettor feeding the engine through a reed valve intake, the bike's power delivery is both smooth and responsive, allowing for seamless transitions between technical sections and wide-open spaces. Coupled with a 6-speed gearbox, riders can enjoy precise gear changes that enhance control, while the liquid cooling system keeps the engine at optimal temperatures, even during the most demanding rides. The 2011 GAS GAS EC 300 is also packed with standout features that elevate its performance on the trails. Its chromoly tubular frame provides exceptional rigidity while keeping the weight down to just 102 kg (224.9 lbs), ensuring agility and nimbleness in tricky terrain. The suspension system is equipped with Sachs components: a 48 mm up-side-down front fork and a hydraulic mono shock at the rear, both fully adjustable to fine-tune compression, rebound, and spring preload for any riding style or condition. With impressive travel of 295 mm in the front and 310 mm in the rear, the bike can absorb bumps and obstacles effortlessly. Adding to the convenience, the electric starter makes firing up the engine a breeze, ensuring you can get back on the trail in seconds. **

Pros

  • Powerful Performance: The 297cc two-stroke engine delivers excellent acceleration and torque, making it suitable for both technical trails and open terrain.
  • Lightweight Design: Weighing only 102 kg, the EC 300 is remarkably agile, allowing for nimble handling and easy maneuverability in challenging off-road conditions.
  • Adjustable Suspension: The Sachs suspension setup offers extensive adjustability, ensuring riders can fine-tune their ride for maximum comfort and performance.

Cons

  • Seat Height: With a seat height of 940 mm (37 inches), it may be less accessible for shorter riders, potentially affecting confidence and control.
  • Limited Fuel Capacity: The 9.5-liter fuel tank may require more frequent refueling on longer rides, which could be a drawback for endurance-focused adventures.
  • Two-Stroke Maintenance: While two-stroke engines provide great power, they typically require more maintenance and attention compared to their four-stroke counterparts, which can be a consideration for some riders.
