Overview[edit | edit source]
Gas Gas EC 300
The 2017 GasGas EC 300 is much like the previous EC 300 with some very minor revisions to the subframe at the front mount and the overall color is now red. Key features, such as the adjustable power-valve and an FMF muffler, remain. Nissin brakes squeeze Galfer Wave rotors to help stop the Excel rims that are wrapped in Metzeler Six Days Extreme tires. The Marzocchi closed-cartridge fork has updated internal valving and is combined with the German made Reiger shock.
Other notable featured carried over from the previous model includes E-start (with manual kick for backup), a digital meter, headlight, sidestand, skid plate and handguards.
We spent just a few hours with Geoff Aaron, riding around on the
2017 GasGas EC 300 R, roosting single track and crawling around on big rocks.
Little changes or not, the EC 300 R is still an fantastic off-roader and is
without question worth looking into if youre in the market for a middleweight
two-stroke off-road bike. Its a worthy rival to the KTM, Husqvarna and Beta
300cc two bangers out there.
The engine is unchanged from the previous model, so the familiar lugablilty of the 300 two-stroke is still present. The GasGas engine shines down near idle, providing incredible traction when navigating technical terrain. It pulls well through the mid and will rev out when needed.
The Marzocchi fork moves through its travel smoothly, doing a great job of soaking up trail hack and holds up well to big drops. The Reiger shock works nicely and with only a day of single track and rock hoping we feel with some fine tuning (through sag and clicker adjustments) the potential is there to make it work even better.
