GasGas 300 AWD

Nice bike, Wonder how much it weighs.

 

[forgiven]

About 15lbs more than normal.

239 dry

Such a shame it doesn't look like a gasgas....

That guy swapped out the paioli fork with a zoke! That's one thing I never liked about the bikes was a that fork, smart man

Thats because it isn't a GasGas, its a Christini, and just uses a GG motor. The original prototypes used a modified GG frame like all the Christini AWD versions of Hondas and KTMs used an OEM frame variant.

I'd like to get a test ride on 1 of those.

I know, actually only 14lbs. more (GG=225lbs. Cristini=239lbs.), thats the official weight difference.
What I'm actually wondering is that, it would mean that the aluminium frame weighs exactly the same as the GG steel frame

The Cristini comes stock with the Zoke.

Their web site spec sheet list it comming with Paoli althouh the first pic. in the series shows Zokes.

 

[nambo-trev]

No the Christini comes with paioli forks not zokes, that guy put them on

 

[HenrikSchmidt]

All the spec. sheets says Paoli, all the new bikes are shown with Zokes..
The bike on the pic. belongs to Chris Dennison, owner of Dirt Rider Magazine, maybe he put them there himself... or, maybe not..?

Anyhoot, It's a very nice bike and I really like the AWD concept, a guy in our club have a 450 KTM Cristini, and he just plowes through when the rest of us are getting stuck in ruts or muddy hillclimbs
And the fact that it comes stock with a GG powerplant is a BIG+ in my book But unfortunately I think it have the steering geometry of a Honda.
