GRASSTRACK
I really liked
how smooth the
power was and it
always felt like it
had plenty. The
suspension was the big plus for
me. I could really push it hard
with no worries at all. I gelled
really well with the Gasser, it was
a winner here.
ENDUROCROSS
Power was good again and the
suspension was really impressive
again. I could hit anything hard
with good feel. I just liked how it
had no defl ection off anything.
EXTREME ENDURO
Straight up it felt good, the
suspension was great. I had really
good feeling with the brakes
coming down the hills and could
also fi nd good traction, similar
to the Sherco. I got a lot of
confi dence riding this bike.

JOHN VINCENT
GRASSTRACK
I didn’t mind the
Gas Gas, nothing
really stood out on
it. The power came
on a little faster
than I would have liked.
ENDUROCROSS
Easily my favourite suspension on
this track, it just felt so plush. I
could hit anything, being lazy and
just keep going forward.
EXTREME ENDURO
The Gasser’s suspension was
amazing again. I just liked how
plush it felt over all the loose
rocks. There were a few times
I had to turn around and the
Gasser had a great, tight turning
circle for this.

Straight up, the

Gasser’s engine

felt very lively

and revved a little

quicker than the

others. It also felt light to me

and the KYB suspension allowed

me to ride well. I only needed to

go a few clicks softer to feel nice

and neutral.

ENDUROCROSS

The Gasser feels like a bigger

bike. The handlebar is a bit low

for my height in these conditions.

The engine worked well as it’s

easy to rev up and also feels like

it shuts down fast when I need it

to for tight corners.

EXTREME ENDURO

I really liked the Gasser on this

loop. The KYBs were fi rm but

didn’t defl ect at all and the

engine comes on so smooth it was

very easy to manage. I also liked

the grippy seat on the big uphill.

Just a good overall package that

was kind on my body.

GRASSTRACK

This was defi nitely

the surprise

package for me

on the grass. I felt

really comfortable

in the suspension, and the engine

was exciting but easy to ride.

ENDUROCROSS

Again I found this a great package

on the track. Nothing really stood

out, but I also had no issues. Not

my favourite, but not far off it.

EXTREME ENDURO

Similar to what I felt on the

endurocross track. Nothing really

stood out, but nothing bothered

me either. Same as above, not my

favourite but defi nitely close.

FMF pipe included for $12,490, not bad

Gas Gas has the second biggest tank

NG wave disc and Nissin fl oating caliper

Dual-chamber fork was a hit with everyone

Rear wheel travel is same as KTM and Husky
