Overview

Introducing the 2012 GAS GAS EC 250 F, an outstanding contender in the world of enduro and off-road motorcycles. Known for its nimble handling and robust performance, GAS GAS has carved a niche for itself among adventure seekers and competitive riders alike. This bike marries Spanish engineering with a passion for off-road riding, making it a favorite for enthusiasts looking for both reliability and excitement. With its lightweight design and powerful specifications, the EC 250 F is tailored for tackling rugged terrains while delivering an exhilarating ride. At the heart of the EC 250 F is its robust 249.60 cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine, which expertly blends power and efficiency. The engine features a 5-valve setup that optimizes airflow and combustion, ensuring a responsive throttle and seamless power delivery. Riders will appreciate the smooth shifting provided by the 6-speed gearbox, allowing for quick acceleration and a top-end that can tackle both steep inclines and flat stretches with ease. The Keihin FCR-MX37 carburetor delivers precise fuel management, while the liquid cooling system maintains optimal operating temperatures, ensuring that the engine performs at its best even during the most demanding rides. The GAS GAS EC 250 F stands out not just for its performance, but also for its impressive array of features designed for the serious off-road rider. The chrom-molybdenum frame ensures a lightweight yet sturdy structure, enhancing maneuverability as well as stability. The front suspension, featuring a Marzocchi 48 mm inverted fork with closed cartridge technology, coupled with the Öhlins hydraulic mono-shock rear, provides outstanding suspension travel of 295 mm in the front and 298 mm in the rear. These components work in harmony to absorb bumps and enhance traction on uneven terrain. Safety is paramount, with Galfer wave discs providing exceptional stopping power, ensuring the rider can navigate tricky descents with confidence. **

Pros

  • Lightweight Design: At just 110 kg (242.5 lbs), the EC 250 F is easy to maneuver, making it ideal for both novice and experienced riders tackling challenging trails.
  • Powerful Engine Performance: The 249.60 cc engine offers impressive torque and acceleration, making it a thrill to ride whether on steep inclines or flat stretches.
  • Superior Suspension: The high-quality suspension components provide excellent travel and responsiveness, allowing riders to tackle rough terrains with ease and comfort.

Cons

  • Limited Fuel Capacity: With a fuel tank holding only 6.30 liters (1.66 gallons), longer rides may require more frequent refueling, which can be inconvenient on extended off-road adventures.
  • Seat Height: At a seat height of 940 mm (37 inches), the bike may be challenging for shorter riders to handle comfortably, potentially affecting confidence in tricky situations.
  • Niche Market: As a specialized enduro bike, the EC 250 F may not appeal to those looking for a versatile dual-sport motorcycle suitable for both urban commuting and off-road riding.
