Key specifications
Overview
Introducing the 2021 GAS GAS EC 300, a formidable contender in the enduro-offroad category that promises to elevate your riding experience. Born from the passion of Spanish engineering, this motorcycle seamlessly blends performance with agility, making it an ideal choice for both seasoned riders and newcomers seeking adventure in the wild. With its striking red and white color scheme, the EC 300 not only stands out visually but also asserts its presence as a reliable companion on rugged terrains and technical trails alike. At the heart of the EC 300 lies a powerful 293.2 cc single-cylinder, two-stroke engine that delivers exhilarating performance. The bike’s innovative fuel injection system ensures precise fuel delivery, enhancing throttle response and optimizing power output across the rev range. With a bore and stroke of 72.0 mm, this engine produces a potent mix of torque and horsepower that allows the rider to tackle steep inclines and challenging obstacles with confidence. Coupled with a smooth-shifting 6-speed gearbox and a DDS wet multi-disc clutch, the EC 300 offers a responsive and engaging riding experience, making it a thrill on both technical trails and open stretches. The EC 300 is equipped with advanced suspension technology, featuring a WP XPLOR-USD front fork and a WP XACT Monoshock at the rear, both offering 300 mm (11.8 inches) of travel. This suspension setup ensures that the bike can absorb bumps and ruts with ease, providing a plush ride even in the harshest conditions. Its lightweight chrome-molybdenum perimeter frame contributes to the bike's nimbleness, allowing for precise handling and stability in corners. The braking system, with wave discs and two-piston calipers up front, ensures powerful stopping performance, giving riders the confidence to push their limits. Additionally, the electric start offers convenience, making it easy to get back on the trail after a brief pause. **
