Gas Gas unveil new Contact ES
By TMX Archives on 9th Aug 17
The new Gas Gas Contact with electric start is the ideal bike for enthusiasts of trail riding and trials.
This model, with electric start, makes riding easy with its progressive, flexible 250/280 cc engine; a single cylinder two-stroke, liquid cooled, with a new chromed steel exhaust collector and a new DellOrto 26 carburettor and Hidria ignition system with a single map.
Simplicity is the key to success and for this reason the new Contact comes with pre-adjusted front forks as standard and a rear shock absorber with pre-load and progressive link swing arm to smooth the way for riders aiming for just the right settings.
A new 3.5 litre tank has been fitted, with a larger capacity than the trial bikes, also a padded seat comes as standard, hiding a new battery underneath.
New components added include new Braktec clutch and brake pistons, NG brake discs (front and back) and switchgear (including lights, starter, indicators and OBD) and obviously the new electric start
