T
he crew at Seat Concepts knows a thing
or two about building comfortable, durable
products. So, when they chose a GasGas
EC300 to create their own Idaho-worthy trail bike,
we expected them to keep it simple, high-quality,
and sweet like their great lineup of off-road, adven-
ture, dual-sport and competition motorcycle seats.
As you can see by this bike, they sort of went the
all-out route with a healthy budget of bolt-on up-
grades that can make any two-stroke fanatic drool
with product envy. But maybe they went a little
too far? I mean, I can take a stock GasGas and
go to Idaho and have a good time. Could this bike
be a lot better than that? We tried to find out.
So, why the heck are we riding this bike in the
desert? Well, it was winter when Robert from Seat
Concepts brought the bike down as he raced the
Adelanto Grand Prix, and we weren't going to just
let him take it back to Idaho without getting it
dirty. Look at it! It made us ride it.

SEAT CONCEPTS DID ALL
THE WORK. ALL WE DID WAS
RIDE IT. WHAT A DEAL.

GasGas' enduro bikes are
more than capable at technical
obstacles. We like the stock
versions just fine, but adding Motoz
Mountain Hybrid Gummy tires
makes it a rock crawler.
