Gas Gas

Early years

GasGas was established to focus on trial motorcycles and to take advantage of the local culture of motorcycle trials in Catalonia. The first models, such as the Halley, helped GasGas gain a foothold in the trial market. The brand expanded its product line to include enduro and motocross bikes.

Expansion and success

Throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, GasGas expanded in the off-road market. The company's trial bikes achieved competitive success, with world championships won by riders such as Jordi Tarrés and Adam Raga.

Financial difficulties and acquisitions

GasGas faced financial difficulties in the 2010s, leading to insolvency in 2015. In 2019, Austrian motorcycle manufacturer KTM, a part of Bajaj Auto, acquired a significant stake in GasGas. This acquisition brought financial stability and resources, allowing GasGas to expand its product offerings and integrate KTM's advanced technologies and manufacturing capabilities.

In 2020, Rieju acquired the Gas Gas off-road platform, continuing production of the enduro models under the Rieju "MR" name.

Enduro motorcycles

GasGas Motorcycles's enduro lineup includes models like the EC and EX series, which are built for long-distance off-road riding.

The FSE and FSR are the fuel injected, four-stroke enduro bikes similar in appearance to the EC models.

In 2007–2009, the company standardized the color red for all displacements and models. As of the 2010 model year, all standard EC models are black with red and white accents. The "Six Days" edition uses white plastics with red, yellow, and black accents. The "Racing" models are white with black and yellow accents.

Trials motorcycles

GasGas is renowned for its trial bikes, which are designed for agility, and includes the TXT series.
