With its iconic red and white aesthetics, this bike not only looks the part but is built to deliver exceptional performance, giving riders the confidence to push their limits. At the heart of the MC 250 lies a powerful 249cc engine, delivering a thrilling combination of speed and torque. The precision-engineered bore and stroke of 66.4 x 72.0 mm ensure that the bike responds instantaneously to throttle inputs, while the Keihin carburettor fuel system fine-tunes the fuel-air mixture for optimal combustion. The Kokusan digital CDI multispark ignition guarantees smooth power delivery across the rev range, making it agile enough for tight corners yet powerful enough for straight-line acceleration. Coupled with a 6-speed gearbox, the MC 250 allows riders to seamlessly shift through gears, enhancing the overall riding experience and ensuring that every twist of the throttle translates into exhilarating forward momentum. The MC 250’s chassis is a masterclass in engineering, featuring a central double-cradle-type frame constructed from 25CrMo4 steel that provides exceptional rigidity while keeping the weight down to just 95.5 kg (210.5 pounds). The front suspension boasts a 58 mm upside-down fork with a generous 295 mm of travel, perfectly complemented by the WP XACT Monoshock rear suspension with 310 mm of travel. This combination allows for impressive handling over rough terrains, ensuring that the bike remains stable and responsive. The braking system is equally impressive, equipped with a 260 mm front disc and a 220 mm rear disc, giving riders the stopping power they need to tackle challenging courses with confidence. With a ground clearance of 370 mm (14.6 inches) and a seat height of 950 mm (37.4 inches), the MC 250 is designed to offer both comfort and control. In summary, the 2022 GAS GAS MC 250 stands as a testament to the brand's commitment to performance and innovation in the motocross arena.
