Overview

Introducing the 2011 GAS GAS EC 300 2T, a formidable contender in the Enduro-offroad category that has garnered respect and admiration among motorcycle enthusiasts and competitive riders alike. Built in Spain and designed for the rugged terrains, the EC 300 2T is a true embodiment of GAS GAS's commitment to performance, durability, and agility. With its striking red and white aesthetics, this bike not only turns heads but also promises an exhilarating riding experience, making it a top choice for those who crave adventure on two wheels. At the heart of the EC 300 2T lies a robust 297cc single-cylinder, two-stroke engine that perfectly balances power and responsiveness. With a bore and stroke of 72.5 mm, this engine delivers a punchy performance, enabling riders to tackle steep inclines and rough trails with ease. The Keihin 38 mm carburettor and reed valve intake ensure efficient fuel delivery, while the liquid cooling system maintains optimal operating temperatures even during intense rides. Coupled with a 6-speed gearbox and a wet multiplate clutch with hydraulic control, the EC 300 offers seamless gear transitions, allowing riders to harness the raw power on demand. With a weight of just 102 kg (224.9 pounds), this bike exhibits remarkable agility, making it perfect for navigating tight trails and challenging obstacles. The engineering prowess of the EC 300 2T extends beyond the engine to its meticulously crafted chassis and suspension. Built on a chrom-molybdenum tubular frame, the bike boasts superior strength and lightweight characteristics that enhance stability and handling. The front end features a Sachs 48 mm up-side-down fork with an impressive travel of 295 mm, providing exceptional absorption of bumps and shocks. Meanwhile, the rear suspension employs a Sachs hydraulic mono shock absorber, offering 310 mm of travel for a plush ride over rugged terrain. Combined with wave disc brakes, which deliver powerful stopping power, the EC 300 2T ensures riders can confidently tackle descents and technical sections without hesitation. **

Pros

  • Powerful Engine: The two-stroke engine delivers impressive torque and acceleration, ideal for off-road conditions.
  • Lightweight Design: At just 102 kg, the EC 300 is remarkably nimble, allowing for easy maneuverability and control.
  • Exceptional Suspension: With generous front and rear suspension travel, this bike excels at absorbing shocks from rough trails, enhancing rider comfort.

Cons

  • Kick Start Only: The absence of an electric starter may deter some riders, especially in challenging terrains where quick restarts are essential.
  • Seat Height: At 940 mm (37 inches), the seat height may be too tall for shorter riders, potentially affecting confidence and control.
  • Limited Fuel Capacity: With a 9.5-liter tank, the fuel capacity may require more frequent stops on longer rides, which could disrupt the flow of adventure.
