2011 GasGas Sixdays

I have the Mecasystem on my current 2008 thanks to Nick former owner of Cycle pro 775 in Elko Nevada. :) Best skid Ive owned for any of my Gas Gas bikes.
From what I can see in the pics the only real similarity is they put some small holes in it. It does not cover as far up in front and is not shinned to a mirror sheen. But who knows maybe this is a new mecca model.
I'd really like to find another mecasystem for my 2011. If I cant I will get a Scorpion. My wifes WR has one, the radiator frames also, and it is very Stout and well made. Never seen the logo on the skid in the six days bike, thats why I was intrigued. Hell I may pull the mecca off the 08 and put it on the 11, we'll see.

Have you talked to Go Fasters? They brought in a bunch of Meca stuff including skidplates and radiator guards.

I'm glad the went with a red frame this year. I wasn't a big fan on the gold.
I realize we're only talk'n cosmatic...but who says your bike can't look good too.:D
Any word on what the suspension will be this year?

Yes Dave I am curious too...I'd be happy with a set of Zokes and a Sachs shock...

Sach's Forks....I have never tried them :confused: but the rear damper is awesome
 
I got specs today then the export manager called me and said he would have more info later this week. When he sends me those I will post. I will give you a quick rundown on the suspension:
All of the standard, estart and Six Days models, no matter what engine size, have a Marzocchi 45 mm fork and Ohlins 888 shock.
The Race models have a 48mm Marzocchi and Ohlins 888 shock.
The Nambo has TTX both ends.
These are for the US only. It appears that some of the models going to other countries will have some Sachs stuff.
I may be posting these too quickly. Albert may send something totally different latet this week. What the heck......I'll stick my neck out!
 
I hope the info on the 45mm zokes for the estart models is wrong. I suppose the 48 mm zokes would be ok. From the reports I have seen about the sachs forks I was hoping that is what would be on them. It is a shame they went away from the red anodized forks on the 2010, they look really good. I saw in cycle world that there were some new zokes coming out (53mm I think) I wonder how much they would cost.

What is the difference in specs and price for the race model? Will you be able to order the estart seperate and add it to the race model?

I am assuming the ttx cartridges would not even fit the 45mm zokes.
 
That's a good question, will the Nambo run the Sach's forks with TTX cartridge's or one of the Marzocchi forks with the TTX?

Wes.
 
the nambo is marzocchi for 2010 nambos with ttx internals, thats what my dealer told me, i doubt they'd change this year.
 
Not really what I would like to see if true. Std. bikes should at least have 48mm forks now and Race/Nambotin bikes should get 50mm something or other. Hell, all the 2011 Beta bikes are all getiing 50mm Marzocchi's. I would love to see those on the GG bikes with TTX options.
 
Is the model 888 Ohlins shock the cheaper alloy body unit that first appeared on some '07s, the steel body shock we are familiar with, or something new?

Zokes would be fine with me, easy valving and service with no learning curve.
 
I am OK with the 45mm Zokes. I can tell you from experience that the 50s eat seals and have some serious stiction issues. The 45s can be made to work well without much fuss.
 
Yes the 50's are very sensitive in the seal area when it comes to dirt...

The 45 Zokes are a known quantity...if missing out a bit on the "street cred of the 50mm ones"

Hey Scot just so we know...The EC's will actually be XC's ???

will these have speedo and lights(headlamp and tail) ??


or I guess Clay will answer this in a few days? :confused:

EC's will be XC's ...due to emission regulations the bikes will come in as "competition" or "off-road only" bikes.

To qualify, the government lays out some somewhat sketchy rules related to lights, seats, warranty and so on. The XC's sneak a headlight in as an integral part of the bodywork, but the high beam is disabled.

I have a kit that adds back the high beam function, adds an LED brakelight/taillight, horn and switchgear ... enough to get legal in states like Michigan.

Thank you

I guess a guy can add a LED tailamp /mudguard and a trailtech meter during set up...I dont need to be street legal....but off road legal is a given...and to keep track of miles traveled is also nessesary :)

I see on the six days that the bars are renthal.....and those are not on the EC

Viet Nambo,
All of the 2011 Gas Gas offroad bikes will come with a headlight. I am still uncertain on the speedo. The spec sheet I got did not have that info. I was told there was more infor coming. Maybe it will have that info. If not, I will ask. The first two containers are scheduled to be in Savannah next week on the 7th. The arrival date was supposed to be the 5th but we were told the ship is doding that freakin hurricane! Go figure.
Sorry for no clear answer. I'll figure it out....eventually!
