GASGAS ECRANGER
The best formula for getting started in enduro and
discover new horizons
The off-road motorcycle manufacturer brings back the spirit of adventure of
its legendary Pampera, adapting this go-anywhere bike to the demands of todays
riders with the new ECRanger. Light, docile and above all easy to handle,
suitable for any type of rider, this is the new bike from GasGas. The ideal
formula for all those who love "light enduro" and "trail
excursion" and want to enjoy off-road riding like never before without
sacrificing the comfort of the new generation of off-road motorcycles.
This new model has its own personality within the GasGas Enduro 2019 range,
with a character focused on recreational use unlike its more competition
focused stablemates. With differences in temperament but similarities in terms
of the EC model base bike for a new GasGas ECRanger that shares the same
central spine frame and most of the components, adapting to the needs of the
wide range of profiles that make up the world of enduro. A model valid both
for hobby riders, as well as for those more daring riders, passionate about
extreme enduro, thanks to its versatility and easy handling.
Elastic,
progressive engine response
The new ECRanger has been designed for having fun. And for that reason it has
been decided to soften its delivery, adopting a new thermodynamic performance
and premiering a new cylinder and cylinder head. Changes that have helped to
decompress the engine and get a more full and elastic delivery at low speed.
While at high revs its output has been limited, sweetening its power and
providing that pleasant feeling of always having everything under control. A
modern two-stroke engine that will be manufactured in two sizes, 200 and 300
cc and that will be coming off the Salt production line with an exhaust system
from the company Tecnigas.
With the frame and suspension, the design of this new GasGas shows the
deliberate aim for this model to become an enduro that satisfies the whole
range of riders, thanks to its lower seat height and its excellent
maneuverability. A height 40 millimeters lower than the range of EC models is
achieved by redesigning the suspension.
Comfortable and practical for any use
All these changes add up to a long list of new components in the frame and
suspension of the new GasGas ECRanger. For example the new comfortable, padded
seat cover or the removal of the traditional kick-start of other models,
starting now being taken care of with the new electric start system with lead
acid battery.
Quality and reliability in every detail
In the suspensions section, GasGas maintains all its confidence in the
renowned quality and reliability of the firm Kayaba, incorporating a new front
fork from the Japanese firm, this time 46 millimeters in diameter with open
cartridge andcompression and rebound adjustment at the front; and the same
adjustable rear shock absorber as used by the EC models, varying only in
length, with preload and rebound adjustment. As for the braking system, the
new GasGas model uses new NG brand discs - 260 mm front and 240 mm rear - and
also new brake calipers and pistons, a system developed exclusively by Braktec
for this version.
A parts specification that guarantees control, absorption and traction,
deliberately added to by the true sensations transmitted by its 28.6 mm
handlebar with central brace, the signature Regina -520/135 non-seal chain-
and new tires: Vee Rubber -90 / 90-21 front and 120 / 90-18 rear. The tires
are mounted on Excel rims providing extraordinary grip that will surprise even
the most experienced enduro riders.
Exclusive graphic design and aesthetics
With the aesthetics, the new ECRanger premieres a very different graphic
design from the rest of the GasGas enduro range. A new and attractive image
giving greater prominence to the white colour, present both in the frame and
in the panels of this new GasGas, a go-anywhere bike that takes up where the
historic Pampera left off to adapt to the demands of todays rider.
The ECRanger will be available at GasGas official dealers as of November.
