Overview

Introducing the 2019 GAS GAS XC 300, a powerful contender in the enduro-offroad category that perfectly balances performance and agility for both seasoned riders and adventurous newcomers. With its Spanish roots, the XC 300 boasts a legacy of off-road excellence, capturing the hearts of trail enthusiasts and competitive racers alike. As a part of GAS GAS's distinguished lineup, this motorcycle is engineered for those who crave the thrill of tackling rugged terrains, steep hills, and challenging obstacles with confidence and style. At the heart of the XC 300 lies a robust single-cylinder, two-stroke engine with a displacement of 299.30 cc. This powerplant is not just about raw horsepower; it delivers a finely-tuned performance that enables riders to navigate technical trails with ease. The bore and stroke dimensions of 72.0 x 72.0 mm ensure a responsive throttle, while the Keihin PWK 38 mm carburetor optimizes fuel delivery for smooth acceleration. Riders will appreciate the liquid cooling system that maintains optimal engine temperatures during intense rides. With a 6-speed gearbox and a multidisc clutch in an oil bath operated by a Magura clutch pump, shifting gears feels seamless, allowing for rapid transitions between power and control. The XC 300 is not just about brute force; it's equipped with advanced technology and features that enhance its off-road capabilities. The center frame, crafted from chrome-moly steel, provides a lightweight yet sturdy foundation for the bike. Up front, the KYB 48 mm fork with AOS system offers an impressive 300 mm of travel, ensuring that rough terrain is absorbed with grace. Meanwhile, the rear suspension features a KYB mono shock paired with an aluminum linkage system, allowing for a rear travel of 131 mm. Stopping power is equally formidable, thanks to the Nissin calipers paired with NG discs, providing both front and rear braking performance that you can rely on when the trails get tricky. With a seat height of 960 mm, the XC 300 also accommodates riders of various sizes, making it a versatile choice for those looking to conquer the outdoors. **

Pros

  • Powerful Engine Performance: The two-stroke engine delivers a potent mix of power and responsiveness, perfect for tackling a variety of terrains.
  • Advanced Suspension System: With high-quality KYB suspension components, the XC 300 offers exceptional handling and comfort over rough trails.
  • Lightweight and Agile: Weighing in at just 105 kg (231.5 lbs), this motorcycle is designed for maneuverability, allowing riders to easily navigate tight corners and steep inclines.

Cons

  • Limited Fuel Capacity: With a 9.80-litre (2.59-gallon) tank, longer rides may require planning for fuel stops, especially on remote trails.
  • Height Consideration: The seat height of 960 mm may be challenging for shorter riders, potentially affecting comfort and control.
  • Maintenance Requirements: The two-stroke engine may require more frequent maintenance compared to four-stroke counterparts, which could be a consideration for casual riders.
