Overview

### Introducing the 2022 GAS GAS EC 250 The 2022 GAS GAS EC 250 bursts onto the enduro-offroad scene with a blend of Spanish heritage and cutting-edge engineering. Designed for passionate riders who crave adventure, this lightweight machine is poised to tackle challenging terrains while delivering exhilarating performance. With its competitive spirit and top-notch build quality, the EC 250 stands as a strong contender among its peers, appealing to both seasoned off-road veterans and newcomers eager to push their limits. ### Engine Performance and Riding Characteristics At the heart of the EC 250 lies a meticulously crafted 249.3cc engine, featuring a counter balancer shaft that ensures smooth operation even at higher RPMs. The engine boasts a bore and stroke of 66.4 x 72.0 mm, equipping it with the right balance of power and torque for tackling steep inclines and rugged trails. Thanks to its advanced fuel injection system and Continental EMS ignition, riders can expect crisp throttle response and efficient fuel delivery, resulting in a dynamic riding experience.

The central double-cradle frame, constructed from 25CrMo4 steel, is both strong and lightweight, ensuring that the bike remains nimble on the trails. The WP XPLOR-USD front suspension and WP XACT Monoshock provide 300 mm of travel at both ends, giving riders the confidence to handle bumps and jumps with ease. The braking system features a wave floating disc at the front, coupled with a reliable 2-piston caliper, ensuring that stopping power is always at your fingertips. With a ground clearance of 360 mm and a seat height of 960 mm, the EC 250 is built for serious off-road exploration, while the electric starter adds a touch of modern convenience. ###
