Re: Gasgas EC300 wins ADB Shootout
2018 models.
"I liked: Best overall suspension package of the bunch, with a firm and positive setup. Great for racers and even serious trail riders.
I didn't like: I found the jetting was too lean, but this can be easily fixed."
I liked: "I felt comfortable and confident on the Gas Gas straight away, I could push hard from the first corner. Strong engine, accurate handling and comfortable ergos.
I didn't like: Cockpit and some aspects of the engine are dated, choke on handlebar, starter motor bolted on the side, cheap grips."
I liked: Gas Gas felt like a motocross bike. It had firm suspension and very snappy power which made it a weapon to ride.
I didn't like: While I liked the race bike feel of the Gas Gas carving up the single track, I think it might be a bit of a handful on a all day trail ride.
Thanks to a strong motor, a competitive price and a super-solid, confidence inspiring suspension package, the EC300 walks away with the crown.
