Overview

Introducing the 2011 GAS GAS EC 300 Racing, a formidable contender in the enduro-offroad motorcycle segment, designed for riders who demand performance and agility in rugged terrains. This machine has earned a reputation for its robust build and exceptional handling, making it a popular choice among both competitive racers and serious trail enthusiasts. With a lightweight frame and an aggressive design, the EC 300 Racing stands out as a reliable partner for those who seek adventure in the great outdoors. At the heart of the EC 300 Racing is a powerful 297 cc single-cylinder, two-stroke engine that delivers exhilarating performance. With a bore and stroke of 72.0 mm, this bike is engineered for a thrilling ride, offering impressive torque and acceleration. The Keihin 38 mm carburettor, paired with a reed valve intake system, ensures a smooth power delivery across the rev range, while the advanced digital magnetic ignition system keeps the engine firing efficiently. Riders will love the 6-speed gearbox, which allows for seamless shifting and optimal control, whether navigating tight trails or open landscapes.

The 2011 GAS GAS EC 300 Racing is packed with cutting-edge features and technology that enhance both performance and comfort. Its chrom-molybdenum frame is lightweight yet incredibly strong, providing the rigidity necessary for aggressive riding. The suspension setup is equally impressive, featuring a Marzocchi 45 mm upside-down fork in the front with adjustable compression and rebound, coupled with an Öhlins mono shock in the rear that offers customizable rebound, compression, and spring preload settings. With 295 mm of front travel and 310 mm of rear travel, this bike is primed to absorb bumps and obstacles with ease, ensuring a smooth ride over any terrain. The braking system, equipped with Galfer wave discs and powerful double-piston front calipers, delivers reliable stopping power, allowing riders to maintain confidence at speed. **

Pros

  • Exceptional Power-to-Weight Ratio: Weighing in at just 102 kg (224.9 lbs), the EC 300 Racing's lightweight build combined with a powerful engine makes it incredibly agile and responsive.
  • Advanced Suspension System: With fully adjustable front and rear suspension, this bike is tailored for superior handling and comfort over rough terrains.
  • Strong Braking Performance: The double-disc front brake system offers outstanding stopping power, enhancing rider safety and confidence during aggressive riding.

Cons

  • Kick Starter Only: The reliance on a kick starter may be less convenient for riders accustomed to electric start systems, particularly in challenging conditions.
  • Limited Fuel Capacity: With a fuel capacity of 9.50 litres (2.51 gallons), longer rides may require more frequent refueling, which could be a drawback for ambitious trail riders.
  • Seat Height Consideration: At a seat height of 940 mm (37.0 inches), the EC 300 may not be the most accessible option for shorter riders, potentially impacting comfort and control.
