2022 GASGAS bikes - first look at 2022 MC motocross models (incl video)
By Team TMX on 15th Jun 21
The 2022 GASGAS dirt bikes have been unveiled today by the motorcycle brand GASGAS heres a first look at the new 2022 GASGAS models launched.
Here are the details from the press release...
We've got new models for 2022, but our goal remains the same - to continue delivering performance offroad motorcycles for those who love to ride! Were super-proud of the bikes we launched just under a year ago, but were going a little bigger for 2022, adding three new motocross machines to ensure we offer the most comprehensive dirt bike line-up there is! For kids, weve introduced a small wheel MC 85. For adults the big kids weve launched a new MC 250 2-stroke together with the MC 350F 4-stroke, strengthening our awesome range of dirt bikes. All new bikes will be available from October, all others are available now!
Giving the next generation of motocross stars a bike that bridges the gap between our MC 65 and MC 85, our new small wheel MC 85 is the perfect choice for mini racers working their way up the ranks. With a carefully designed chassis that accommodates its smaller wheels, the bike ensures uncompromised handling and performance, and is ready to shred with a simple prod of the kick starter.
We ticked all the boxes when it came to building what we believe is the ultimate 250cc 2-stroke motocross bike, our MC 250. With an engine that boasts tons of torque down low together with ample power up top, with WP XACT Suspension it soaks up bumps and jumps no matter how hard or fast a rider hits them. And lets not forget its mechanical simplicity and low running costs. Built for 2-stroke fans and unbelievably competitive in the hands of serious racers, everyone will enjoy an incredible experience on the MC 250.
Saving the best 'til last as some would say, our MC 350F is the third and final motocross bike weve added to our line-up. With strong, usable power and nimble handling, its a bike designed for fun-filled weekends at the track with your buddies. The bike is super-lightweight and for those who dare to twist the throttle that little bit harder, its fearlessly fast too!
New models aside, our 2022 dirt bike range is packed with seriously capable, seriously fun motocross, enduro and cross country models. With a total of nine amazing motocross bikes to choose from, when it comes to our enduro machines, were sticking to the four models we know riders love and trust. Each delivering incredible performance and reliability, our enduro line-up includes all of the most popular displacements. Be it one of our 2-stroke or 4-stroke bikes, now is the time to get on a GASGAS and hit the trails.
For US-based riders only, were also adding an EX 250. Fans of cross country riding will enjoy the bike's lightweight, 2-stroke simplicity, as well as benefitting from EFI technology as standard, for longer rides between refueling stops and reduced emissions. The new EX 250 sits pretty next to its slightly bigger brother, the EX 300, and completes our cross country range, which also includes three awesome 4-stroke models. We now offer a bike for riders of all abilities, each delivering a playful riding experience thats simply off the scale.
To get the most from of our exciting line-up of offroad bikes, we also offer a full range of GASGAS Technical Accessories and Apparel. For those looking to protect, improve and customize their MC, EC, or EX machines, our extensive catalogue of Technical Accessories includes just about everything needed, from wheels to exhaust systems, triple clamps to hand guards. Our collection of riding apparel delivers protection and comfort with style, and features clothing designed specifically for motocross, enduro, and cross country with head-to-toe solutions for both kids and adults!
Check out the full catalogue of Technical Accessories and Apparel here.
Almost all of our offroad range will be available at your local dealership right now, while the MC 250, MC 350F and small wheel MC 85 will arrive shortly after in October. Availability may differ from country to country.
EVERYTHING YOU NEED
Weve added new models! For 2022 our awesome dirt bike line-up is bigger, better, and more complete than ever. In fact, our 26-bike strong 2022 line-up is the most complete range of motocross, enduro, trial and cross country models of any manufacturer. But lets keep that as our little secret! What we want is for every rider to find their perfect GASGAS bike. So, in addition to our trial and eMTB ranges, weve added exciting, new motocross, enduro and cross country models for 2022.
WHAT'S NEW FOR GASGAS 2022?
Three exciting new motocross models added to the range of off-road machines
NEW MC 85 17/14
Starting with our new MC 85 small wheel, mini racers can now keep it red when they progress through the junior classes. With its compact, 2-stroke motor and 6-speed gearbox, the MC 85 delivers big when it comes to useable, holeshot ripping power. And thanks to its proven, lightweight frame and WP XACT suspension, riders of all abilities can feel confident when pushing the limits. But its not all about performance, right? Weve also made sure the bike not only performs incredibly, but that it looks great too! From our MC 65 to our MC 85, and on to our MC 125, were committed to junior rider development and supporting tomorrows champions every step of the way.
NEW MC 250
The new MC 250 is for the 2-stroke lovers! Super light, super agile and with a motor than produces a ton of torquey, bottom-end grunt and plenty of top-end power, its a bike that mixes simplicity with performance. Offering more smiles per mile than just about any other motocrosser, no matter how hard or fast a rider hits jumps or rough, whooped-out straights, the WP XACT Suspension soaks up everything. Unbelievably competitive in the hands of serious racers, everyone will enjoy an incredible riding experience on the MC 250.
NEW MC 350F
In introducing the MC 350F, GASGAS now offers three 4-stroke motocross models, so weve got everything you need. Sandwiched between our little 4-stroke, the super fun MC 250F, and the awesome MC 450F, the new MC 350F is the bike that does it all. Super agile with great handling, the 349cc motor (we cant lie, its not quite a 350!) pumps out seriously impressive performance, which makes it the little-big bike that isnt afraid to take it to the 450s. Featuring more proven technology than just about any other bike, on the outside weve ensured that well-thought-out ergonomics and super stylish shrouds, number boards and fenders allow riders unrestricted movement for complete comfort. The MC 350F is finished in a whole lot of red just the way we like it!
NEW EX 250
For the US market weve also launched the EX 250 a little brother for our hugely popular EX 300. With 50cc being the only difference between the two models, out on the trails that little difference equates to a notably different riding experience. A little livelier, a little more revvy, the EX 250 loves to be ridden hard. Cross country fans will love the bike's 2-stroke simplicity with the innovative electronic fuel injection system that allows for true gas-and-go riding simplicity. With a tough yet lightweight, laser-cut steel frame thats engineered to work perfectly with the WP XACT suspension, the EX 250 delivers playful handling and incredible stability, perfect for getting on the gas with confidence. The new EX 250 sits next to its slightly bigger brother, the EX 300, and three awesome 4-stroke cross country models.
