"Overcoming" is what best defines the work of the R&D department in the new 2014 Gas Gas EC models: the result of improvement and refinements in all aspects. Gas Gas unveils the new range of Enduro for 2014, one of its best kept secrets, with important changes affecting all models and engine displacements. Changes that make big improvements for all the new motorcycles from the Spanish factory, in their continuous product development, focused upon offering the best possible machines for the customers. The new 2014 EC range have been designed, engineered, and manufactured for fun and competition. These are motorcycles that have been thoroughly tested within the confines of intense and maximum competition and have achieved the best results for users: reliability and performance. This is the DNA of a Gas Gas. The new 2014 EC Racing models have been the focus of the R & D
department of Gas Gas Motos, developing a high quality product for
customers of the brand. The Racing version is the mainstay of a new range,
available in displacements from 125cc 2T and up to the 450cc 4T. As a
novelty, it is noteworthy that the four-stroke chassis is made on the same
platform, which improves the manufacturing process and the performance
resembles that of all Enduro bikes that Gas Gas manufactures.
Continuous evolution: function and aesthetics The brake pedal has also been completely redesigned to achieve more effective stopping power and re-positioned on the outside of the chassis, thus improving the riding position and avoiding the problems caused by mud. Meanwhile, the footrests are adjustable, so that the rider can find the best ergonomic position in reference to their specific size. The skid plate is another element that has been redesigned for improved engine protection. Thus, the range incorporates a brand-specific integrated skid plate injected of high strength material, which ensures the safeguarding of this whole area. At the rear of the machine, the side number plates are much more ergonomic and provide an additional air inlet to the filter box to increase the flow of air and thus achieve an increase in engine performance for more power. Another important aspect that characterizes modernization of the Racing model is the new finish-machining of the hubs, with Excel rims and spokes in black satin. Gas Gas continues to rely on the Nissin brake pump as a differentiator which together with the Galfer Wave disc rotors, the best braking is assured. In addition, the sprocket has a titanium finish, a handle for the front wheel axle, Progrip grips and Metzeler Six Days tires ensure the most exclusive level of equipment. The new models of the 2014 Enduro range also have a new graphic decorations.
Gas Gas technicians have determined that Reigers shock absorber with adjustable spring preload, compression and rebound is the best product that can be installed on the EC, and the Reiger developed shock works best for our bikes. The user can easily notice increased traction in the saddle and more
precise tuning settings which can be easily applied to the shock. We must mention that the front suspension is the handiwork of another brand specialist: Marzocchi. In the Racing range, the fork is 48mm in diameter with a dual pressurized cartridge and new settings. With the Regier shock, this offers greater stability over any terrain and in any situation. Powerful engines and more progressive performance
Another technical aspect of the collaboration that results in an
increase in overall performance is the redesign of the crankshaft, which
has been optimized and balanced to reduce engine vibration. Also the wiring loom has been completely renovated, becoming much more
stable throughout the system. The adjustments made to the ignition and
fuel distribution systems significantly improve engine response in all
regimes. Improved performance for EC Racing 4T
The new 2014 Gas Gas Enduro standard are available with a 2-stroke engine, and are characterized by their excellent combination of features: handling, comfort and power. Versatile bikes with the fun and ease of use remaining unchanged. The Gas Gas EC Std have always been the best Enduro bikes for those who are new to the sport or for those seeking an easy bike to ride, but at the same time powerful, reliable, affordable and also having quality components. The standard range of 2014 Gas Gas acquires most of the changes that occurred, except for some minor details and suspension. The forks of the EC 200, 250, 250 E, 300, 300 E and EC 125 Racing also are inverted Marzocchi, Shiver 45mm in diameter, and have a Sachs rear shock, which also has good performance for the riding-style of an 'entry level rider'.
