Overview

Introducing the 2006 GAS GAS EC 125, a remarkable entry in the enduro-offroad motorcycle market that balances lightweight agility with robust performance. Designed for the passionate off-road enthusiast, the EC 125 is particularly well-suited for riders looking to tackle challenging terrains without the bulk of a larger bike. With its sleek design and competitive spirit, this two-stroke powerhouse is perfect for both seasoned riders and newcomers eager to explore the world of enduro riding. At the heart of the GAS GAS EC 125 lies a nimble 124cc single-cylinder engine, which delivers a thrilling performance that is both peppy and responsive. The engine’s two-stroke architecture ensures quick throttle response, making it an ideal companion for navigating tight trails or steep inclines. With a digital ignition system and a 6-speed gearbox, riders can effortlessly shift through gears, maximizing power delivery and torque as they navigate through challenging environments. The lightweight frame, coupled with a low weight of just 96 kg (211.6 pounds), allows for exceptional handling and maneuverability—ensuring that every twist and turn is met with precision. The EC 125 is packed with features that showcase GAS GAS’s commitment to quality and performance. Its Deltabox frame, constructed with rectangular-profile Cr-Mo tubing, provides both strength and lightweight agility, while the advanced suspension system includes a 45 mm upside-down Marzocchi fork in the front, offering a remarkable 295 mm of travel. The rear suspension, featuring an aluminum swingarm and an Öhlins shock absorber, provides an additional 310 mm of travel, ensuring a smooth ride over rugged terrains. The braking system is equally impressive, boasting double disc brakes at the front and a single disc at the rear, allowing for reliable stopping power when tackling steep descents or sudden obstacles. **
