The completely redesigned 2012 Gas Gas is much more than new body work.
After a very successful year of racing, testing and development, our engineers and designers pulled out all the stops to bring you this leading edge machine. Innovative and effective, the all new 2012 opens a new era for Gas Gas premium competition motorcycles.
- Redesigned Chromoly frame offers more rigidity for increased stability without losing the legendary agility Gas Gas is known for.
- New Fuel Tank Capacity is increased 15% which keeps you riding longer.
- Newly designed clutch offers better lubrication, cooling, and fade resistance, thanks to improved oil flow.
- New Power valve and Cylinder designed with improved durability and performance in mind.
- New Subframe is made from a state of the art three component polymer that is both light weight and strong.
- Overall weight has been reduced by 4.4 lbs to help reduce rider fatigue and help you push to the finish.
- Redesigned Rear Brake Pedal now mounts on the inside of the frame for better protection and rider ergonomics.
- New Magura Clutch Master Cylinder which offers better feel and durability.
- New Shock Linkage not only offers improved handling by being more progressive but also features improved seals for increased durability.
Other features for the US Spec Gas Gas include Galfer Rotors, New foot pegs, Super Sprox rear sprocket and the already proven Ohlins 888 rear shock paired with the superb Marzocchi 48mm closed cartridge forks. 250cc and 300cc models will be available in kick and electric start and kick start only versions.

Sex on wheels, right there. Me want…now I just need to find the money after I find the closest dealership.
To tell you the truth I have never ridden a GasGas bike before, I know they make more than trials bikes but I have never actually ridden one before now I want to try one.
Awesome. I love Gas Gas. I think the older frame looks better. This frame should be black, that would help. I love the exhaust and shock.
The only downside of a Gas Gas is mods. I don’t know anyone that does sick engine mods like they do for KTMs. You can get gnarly enduro porting and head mods for KTM 300s.
I agree that bike is sex on wheels… It is so refreshing to see real development in a 2 stroke platform. It’s amazing they were able to shave 4 1/2 pounds odd the bike, while improving the bike. Great job Gas Gas!
@2strokerevolution
why wouldnt they be able to do head/cylinder mods?
I should pretty much be identical to the KTM head mod, as the bore and stroke is the same (?) for the 300 models.
any decent two stroke tuner could do this with their eyes closed.
@CRMotard
The Gas Gas has a 72.5×72.5 Bore X Stroke. The KTM is 72×72. So pretty much the same. I guess a head mod should be the same, but where the ports are and the crankcase could be different. Maybe it is fairly easy if you know KTM porting. If I was one of those shops I would advertise I can do Gas Gas work too then. Would probably generate some business from them.
