Overview

Introducing the 2016 GAS GAS EC 125, a spirited entry in the enduro-offroad segment that expertly marries lightweight agility with robust performance. Hailing from Spain, GAS GAS has built a reputation for producing competitive off-road motorcycles, and the EC 125 is no exception. This model is designed for riders who crave adventure, whether they're tackling steep trails or navigating through rugged terrains. With its compact design and nimble handling, the EC 125 is particularly appealing to younger riders or those new to the off-road scene, providing an exhilarating experience without sacrificing control or comfort. At the heart of the GAS GAS EC 125 lies a potent 124.80 ccm single-cylinder, two-stroke engine. This responsive powerplant boasts a bore and stroke of 54.0 x 54.5 mm, optimized for peak performance in challenging conditions. The engine’s electronic ignition and Keihin PKWS 38 mm carburettor ensure a swift throttle response, making it a thrill to ride. Paired with a 6-speed gearbox, the EC 125 delivers seamless gear changes, allowing riders to exploit its full potential on demanding trails. With a liquid cooling system in place, the engine maintains optimal temperatures even during prolonged rides, ensuring reliability when it matters most. GAS GAS has equipped the EC 125 with impressive features that enhance both performance and rider confidence. Its perimeter frame, crafted from chrome-molybdenum, provides exceptional rigidity while keeping the overall weight down to a mere 96 kg (211.6 pounds). The suspension setup is equally noteworthy, featuring a Marzocchi Shiver fork with 298 mm of travel up front and a Reiger mono shock in the rear, allowing for smooth handling over uneven terrain. Stopping power is provided by high-performance Galfer wave discs, with a robust 260 mm front disc and a 220 mm rear disc, ensuring precise braking when descending steep hills or navigating tight corners. With a seat height of 950 mm and an adjustable option, the EC 125 accommodates a wide range of rider sizes, making it a versatile choice for off-road enthusiasts. **
