2024 GasGas Motocross Line
Ready to get on the Gas?
GasGas has joined the modern Austrian era as their 2024 motocross line updates to the latest generation frame, suspension, and a host of engine updates per model. The red machines have their own unique look and a host of small changes to keep the pricing a little more attractive when compared to the KTM or Husqvarna. About $800 cheaper for their 250 and 350 four-strokes, $300 cheaper for their 450 moto model, and between $600-700 less expensive for the two-stroke motocross bikes.
The bikes still feature nameless brand bars, silver Excel rims, Maxxis tires, no map switch (although it’s optional), and a few other odds and ends. Most unique though is the lack of cast clamps when compared to the 2023 model. They’re now forged with some machining done to give them a sorta split-looking design with the centers cut down. The KTM and Husky models are fully machined billet aluminum…so this should offer more comfort and a better feel on the GasGas? We’re excited to test them out and find out.
Scroll down and learn more about the five full-sized motocross models available from GasGas for 2024.
Features and Benefits
Bodywork
All red and all-new! Fully redesigned from front to back, the sleek bodywork is incredibly ergonomic with larger contact surfaces and an improved rider triangle that further enhances control. The rad shrouds are shaped to help you grip the bike more as you get on the gas with a super grippy seat cover keeping you firmly in place.
Airbox
Less time working on bikes means more time riding bikes, which is precisely why you’ll love the straightforward, no tools and no-nonsense filter mounting system. Allowing quick and easy filter changes, the airbox is designed with precisely positioned inlet ducts to direct the flow of air toward the Twin Air filter to create maximum horsepower.
Fuel tank
The all-new fuel tank is slightly bigger when compared to the outgoing generation, but it’s still just as sleek. With an integrated fuel pump allowing the tank to be emptied further before refueling is needed, long motos around sand tracks are definitely not a problem for this GASGAS!
Footpegs
Bigger is better when it comes to footpegs, which is why on the new models there’s a bigger platform for better control. Plus, thanks to a new mounting design, they’re further inward on the frame, which makes them less prone to catching the edge of deep ruts or jump take offs, for those who like to scrub!
Frame
A new-generation bike is nothing without a new frame, right? Taking the best traits from the old frame, which if you didn’t know combined razor-sharp cornering with confidence-inspiring straight-line stability, our engineering wizards have made it even better! They’ve improved the anti-squat behavior for maximum traction when exiting corners. Throughout the frame, the wall thickness has been revised in certain areas to improve rider feedback and energy absorption. Finished with a red powder coating and grippy guards to prevent wear, which provides a little extra grip for your boots too.
Subframe
The all-aluminium subframe is light, strong, and works as one with the new frame by helping to centralize mass and contributing massively to the bike’s outstanding handling characteristics.
Forged Triple Clamps
New, forged aluminum triple clamps offer just the right amount of calculated flex thanks to a more forgiving steering stem. The triple clamps align the fork tubes perfectly for a smoother action, which improves front wheel feedback and leads to predictable handling on any track and any terrain. There are also new, adjustable bar mounts with a slightly larger contact area against the handlebars so if you crash, there’s less chance of twisting the bars. A glass bead blasted finish means the triple clamps always look as good as new, too.
WP FORKS
Every full size GASGAS motocross model is equipped with improved 48mm WP XACT forks for 2024. Easily adjustable by hand on the outside, on the inside, they feature revised settings that specifically work with the new frame. Progressive fork action is retained thanks to the capsulated air spring and pressurized oil chamber while a new hydrostop takes the sting out of heavy landings and helps to maintain forward momentum.
WP Shock
Soaking up the bumps with ease, the redesigned WP XACT rear shock is shorter and lighter than the old version but still offers 300mm of travel. Inside there’s been some technical changes with a new piston improving initial comfort and helping to stay up a little higher in the stroke, especially when under hard acceleration. And just like the WP forks, the WP shock is adjustable by hand so it’s quick and easy to dial things in should you need to.
Swingarm
Cast from one piece of aluminum, lower in weight than the old one, and slightly stiffer, the swingarm on this GASGAS is as good as it gets! There’s also a much more durable chain slider and the guide is much more rounded to help prevent catching the ground as you lay the bike over through deeply rutted turns. The swingarm is complete with a new 22mm rear wheel axle to complement the refined flex characteristics of the entire chassis. Finally, clear chain adjustment markings ensure quick and easy maintenance.
Hydraulic Brakes
Fast is fun but slowing down is essential, which is why all GASGAS motocross bikes are fitted with high-quality Braktec calipers and controls. With a 260mm front disk and a 220mm rear disk, both featuring a GASGAS-specific design, braking performance is certainly impressive, which inspires riders to push harder, ride faster, and brake later using the redesigned lever.
Hydraulic Clutch
No need for adjustment and offering a near maintenance-free operation, the best thing about the Braktec hydraulic clutch is that it provides consistent action. With free-play at the redesigned lever automatically adjusted, the biting point and function of the clutch remain constant no matter whether the motor is started from cold or used during the heat of a battle.
Wheels
Built to take a beating, our wheels are ready to play rough. No matter how heavy the landing or how rough the track is, the silver, CNC machined hubs, lightweight spokes, and high- strength EXCEL rims deliver maximum strength for complete peace of mind.
Tires
One of the only components carried over from the outgoing generation of GASGAS motocross bikes are the Maxxis
MaxxCross MX-ST tires. Need to know why? It’s simple. They perform so well on a wide variety of terrain and they’re super- durable too. After all, who likes changing tires?
2024 GasGas MC 125
There really is nothing quite like the sound of a 125cc 2-stroke ripping around a motocross track! Sitting at the top of the small-bore pre-mix class with its strong motor, close ratio 6-speed gearbox, plush WP suspension, and razor-sharp handling, our MC 125 is ready to shred!
EFI
For 2024, our 2-stroke motors are fuelled using Throttle Body Injection – a 39mm Keihin throttle body, to be precise – which works together with the ECU to deliver the perfect mix of fuel and air. The end result? Crisp, clean running motors that create smooth, strong power.
CYLINDER & PISTON
One of the biggest changes for 2024 is the introduction of EFI on the MC 125. And with this new tech, the traditional 2-stroke power valve is replaced with an innovative electronic exhaust control system. Now, the lateral exhaust ports opens slightly faster than the main exhaust port to deliver strong power and maximum reliability.
TRANSMISSION
A redesigned shift shaft drum and fork makes for even smoother shifting. As it’s made by PANKL Racing Systems, you just know that the 6-speed transmission is as good as it gets in terms of positive gear changes, reliability, and overall quality. The clever lever design helps prevent dirt build-up, too, especially when the ruts get deep and the first gets sticky.
DS CLUTCH
The MC 125 is equipped with a Diaphragm Steel (DS) clutch, which is robust, super reliable, and contributes to the compact engine design. Inside the clutch basket, which is CNC machined from a single piece of steel for incredible longevity, is the clutch pack that features a single diaphragm steel pressure plate instead of traditional coil springs.
CRANKCASE
Making sure the weight of the MC 125 is kept to a minimum, the thin and strong crankcases are made using a high-press die-cast process. Inside, the motor internals are positioned tu centralize mass which leads to next level rideability.
