Overview

Introducing the 2021 GAS GAS MC 65, a vibrant contender in the minibike-cross category that's designed for young riders eager to tackle the dirt with confidence and style. Hailing from Spain, this machine is built for performance, comfort, and agility, making it an ideal choice for budding motocross enthusiasts. The MC 65 is tailored for those transitioning from smaller bikes, offering a perfect blend of power and control that ensures a thrilling yet manageable ride. With its striking red and white color scheme, it also boasts a visually appealing design that stands out on any track. At the heart of the MC 65 lies a powerful 64.9 cc single-cylinder, two-stroke engine that delivers spirited performance while keeping things lightweight. The bore and stroke dimensions of 45.0 x 46.7 mm are meticulously crafted to optimize power delivery across the RPM range, ensuring that young riders can accelerate with ease and master the art of cornering. The engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox, allowing for precise gear changes that enhance the riding experience, while the liquid cooling system maintains optimal temperatures during intense rides. Whether it's tackling steep hills or navigating through tight turns, the MC 65 offers a balanced and responsive handling experience that instills confidence in its riders. The MC 65 is packed with features designed to enhance performance and comfort. Its robust 25CrMo4 steel frame provides exceptional stability and durability, setting the stage for the advanced suspension system. The XACT 35 WP Upside-Down fork at the front and the XACT WP PDS mono shock at the rear both offer 215 mm of travel, ensuring that the bike can absorb bumps and jumps with ease. The braking system, equipped with single discs at both the front and rear, offers reliable stopping power, allowing riders to negotiate tricky terrain with poise. Plus, the seat height of 750 mm (29.5 inches) is designed for comfort, making it accessible for most young riders while maintaining ample ground clearance of 280 mm (11.0 inches) for off-road adventures. **

Pros

  • Lightweight and Agile: Weighing in at just 53 kg (116.8 pounds), the MC 65 is incredibly nimble, making it easy for younger riders to handle and maneuver.
  • Responsive Suspension: The advanced suspension setup provides excellent shock absorption, delivering a smooth ride on rough terrains while boosting rider confidence.
  • Powerful Engine Performance: The 64.9 cc two-stroke engine offers spirited acceleration and power delivery, ideal for competitive and recreational rides.
