2021 GasGas range marks new era

With a complete overhaul of its range, GasGas has launched eleven new motocross, enduro and minibike models to sit alongside its proven trials offerings.

The Spanish manufacturer was purchased by KTM in 2019, and that partnership has resulted in full range of new motorcycles. It's clear that the Austrian giant has had a massive influence, as it did when it took over the Husaberg and Husqvarna brands.

The new machines, which are complemented by an extensive accessory and parts catalogue, are designed to provide a lower price point to the hugely popular KTM and Husqvarna models, while offering the same proven package.

Before joining the KTM ranks, GasGas experience a tumultuous period, merging with Ossa in 2014, and then being bought by Torrot in 2015. In recent times, the brand has focused on trials and enduro, but under KTM ownership, it has expanded to include motocross, with the brand making its debut in the MXGP World Championship earlier this year.

GasGas is also set to compete in AMA Supercross and AMA Motocross championships in 2021, with the Troy Lee Designs Red Bull team switching from KTM.

The 2021 model range includes two-stroke and four-stroke motorcycles, and features the latest off-road technology. Here is a rundown of the new range:
