healthy 58hp at 13,400rpm from its compact 27.2kg . As well as awesome power , the compact design with centralised oscillating masses also improves the overall handling of the bike . Both big bore bikes feature Neken handlebars and ODI grips , while suspension comes in the form of 48mm WP XACT forks and shocks . The three new GasGas models are expected to be released into the wild in October 2021 . As a bonus for the United States only , GasGas is introducing the EX 250 as a little brother for our hugely popular EX 300 . Despite only 50cc being the only difference between the two models , out on the trails that little difference equates to a notably different riding experience according to GasGas . A little livelier , a little more revvy , the EX 250 loves to be ridden hard and cross country fans will love the bike ’ s two-stroke simplicity and electronic fuel injection system which allows for true gas-and-go riding simplicity . With a tough yet lightweight , laser-cut steel frame that ’ s engineered to work perfectly with the WP XACT suspension , the EX 250 delivers playful handling and incredible stability , perfect for getting on the gas with confidence . The new EX 250 sits next to its slightly bigger brother , the EX 300 , and three awesome four-stroke cross country models . It sounds like a ripper . Come on GasGas NZ , we want it too !
