Overview

Introducing the 2009 GAS GAS EC 515 FSR, a trailblazer in the world of enduro motorcycles, designed for riders who demand both performance and versatility. Standing out in a competitive market, the EC 515 FSR is engineered to tackle rugged terrains with confidence, making it an excellent choice for off-road enthusiasts seeking thrilling adventures. With a robust and agile frame, this bike merges lightweight construction with a powerful engine, ensuring that riders can navigate challenging trails with ease and precision. At the heart of the EC 515 FSR is a formidable 515cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that delivers exhilarating performance. With a bore and stroke of 100.0 x 62.6 mm, this powerhouse is equipped with a sophisticated Kokusan electronic fuel injection system that ensures optimal fuel delivery and efficiency, eliminating the need for a battery. The liquid cooling system keeps the engine at ideal temperatures, allowing for sustained performance over long rides. Coupled with a 6-speed gearbox, the EC 515 FSR offers seamless gear shifts, enabling riders to conquer steep inclines and accelerate out of tight corners with confidence. The bike's lightweight frame, weighing in at just 118 kg (260 pounds), enhances agility, making it a perfect companion on technical trails. The EC 515 FSR is packed with features that elevate the riding experience. Its Deltabox frame, constructed with durable Cromoly D tubes, provides both strength and flexibility, essential for navigating rocky paths and unpredictable terrains. The suspension system is equally impressive; the 45 mm upside-down fork Marzocchi at the front and the one-piece aluminum swing arm at the rear deliver an impressive travel of 295 mm (11.6 inches) and 320 mm (12.6 inches), respectively, ensuring a smooth ride over obstacles. The bike also boasts electric and kick-start capabilities, providing convenience whether you find yourself in the middle of nowhere or at the starting line of a competition. Available in eye-catching color options of red/white or black/white, the EC 515 FSR is as visually appealing as it is technically advanced. **
