.RIDING IMPRESSION
Gas Enducross 250
By Cameron Coatney
as Gas is a small motorcycle
company in Gerona, Spain, that
has been producing world-class
trials bikes for quite a few years
with striking success in the '90s.
In the hands of the legendary
Jordi Tarres, Gas Gas won the highly
competitive FIM World Championship
Observed Trial Series in 1993, '94, and
'95, and Tarres finished a dose third in
'96 after a slow start in the series. Fellow
factory riders Bruno Camozzi finished
fifth and Amos Bilbao finished sixth.
Not too bad for a company that produces about 4,000 bikes a year.
(Above left and above) The Gas Gas Enducross 250 is an extremely potent enduro bike that
.
excels on grass tracks and in slimy, rutted conditions.
(Lett) The Enducross is nimble and quick on the trail. The suspension is set up tor roots and·
rocks, but stili has a good resistance to bottoming. Riders over 170 pounds probably will want
to go to stiffer springs or valvlng mods.
