Overhauled GasGas 2024 motocross range revealed

GasGas has launched an overhauled motocross range for 2024, utilising the same platform as its KTM and Husqvarna stablemates.

It is the first major update for the Spanish-born brand under KTM ownership. Its motocross range debuted in late 2020 alongside a new enduro range. The enduro models have also been overhauled for 2024.

The 2024 motocross models are new from the ground up, with an all-new chassis, upgraded suspension, new four-stroke and two-stroke motors, and plenty more.

Throttle body fuel injection has been added to the two-stroke models, while traditional premix has replaced the oil injection system on the previous generation. Also new for the two-stroke models is electronic exhaust control, which affects how the exhaust ports open in a bid to maximise power and improve durability.

The four-stroke engine has also been overhauled and is now mounted in the same position across all three capacities to improve handling.

All five models in the range – including the MC 125, MC 250, MC 250F, MC 350F, and MC 450F – benefit from an all-new frame, upgraded WP XACT suspension with AER technology, new forged triple clamps, high-performance Braktec clutch and brakes, new footpegs, a Neken handlebar, and new bodywork.

GasGas also offers the option of a map selector switch (which is standard on KTM and Husqvarna equivalents). By installing the map switch on the four-stroke models, riders will also get launch control, traction control, and quickshift. The map switch is standard for the MC 125 and an option for the MC 250 two-stroke models, but it only includes two engine maps.

GasGas Australia is yet to announce a local arrival and pricing, but expect to see the bikes hit dealer floors before the end of 2023.
