The Gas Gas Contact is designed as an entry level bike. This year’s model now
features electric start. A new 3.5 litre tank has been fitted with a larger capac-
ity than the trial bikes, also a padded seat is standard, hiding a new battery un-
derneath. These are just some of the new features on this model showing great
stability and traction thanks in part due to a slight increase in weight but also
because of the new Mitas tires.
New components add to the great quality: New Braktec clutch and brake pis-
tons, NG brake discs (front and back) and switchgear (including lights, starter, in-
dicators and OBD). They are going to make the new Gas Gas Trial Contact Electric
Start our very best friend to share great times together with when we are out and
about. Simplicity is the key to success and for this reason the new Trial Contact
counts with pre-adjusted front forks as standard and a rear shock absorber with
pre-load and progressive link swing arm to smooth the way for riders aiming for
just the right settings to get 100% out of their mountain rides.
