The new 2011 GAS GAS Enduro bikes have arrived! Well at least the best selling two models have….the UK spec CC250 and the CC300. The ‘CC’ stands for Cross-Country which is the model that best suits the UK. They come without all the homologation parts that are not needed in the UK and the bikes can still be road registered. The CC models are exempt from ‘type approval’. The CC models still come with a side-stand, a front headlamp and a competition wiring loom that allows you to fit a rear light assembly. These models have been tailored by the factory to suit the UK market.

Also only for the UK the standard models now come (and a welcome return) to OHLINS and MARZOCCHI suspension. To keep prices low the factory had fitted sachs suspension on their 2008 and 2009 models which have been fine but the UK public have missed the plush Ohlins shock and the soft Marzocchi Shiver forks.

Another ‘quality’ component which is standard is the new FMF ‘Q’ Silencer which is both superb in quality and ultra quiet. They also help the bikes already awesome torque for good bottom to mid power. Other quality components include Excel rims, Metzeler Tyres, Progrip grips and new rear chain guide.

Other changes to the 2011 bikes are the superb and really striking colour and sticker design. At last they have returned to the GAS GAS original base colour of RED and they look simply stunning. They now have a very strong identity with the Pro Trials bike with the Red tubular chassis and they have simply done the same with the Enduro bikes. To have a corporate identity is very important and to be honest GG have been lacking this in recent years ‘playing’ with different colours. With the red and white plastics and new cool sticker design they are now very striking and ultra modern.

Add a completely new front headlamp and front mudguard to really finish the 2011 models off. The two stroke GG Enduro engines need NO introduction. Both the 250+300 are bulletproof and produce very good torquey motors. Christophe Nambotin demonstrates this in the World Enduro Championship winning events at the very highest level.

Coming soon will be the CC models with ‘electric start’. Not everyone needs this added feature on a 2 stroke which don’t have the same annoying starting problems as most 4 strokes but nevertheless at least now Gas Gas can offer this option.

2011 CC250 —- £5329.99 inc vat (at 17.5% ....it goes up in Jan)

2011 CC300 —- £5589.99 inc vat

Possibly the best Enduro on the market. The most advanced components for a winning bike.

The EC 2011 appears in Gas Gas red, with a newly designed headlight holder and front headlight. Other new features are the Metzeler MCE Six Days covers and the newly adjusted SACHS 48 front fork. The FMF Q-Stealth silencer, the Sachs shock absorbers and the improved cooling system with the new radiator cap make the EC 2011 the best option for Off-Road enthusiasts.
