VOLUME ISSUE AUGUST , P65 GasGas says the new EC models have new motors that are lighter and more powerful that also improve handling. "This was achieved by our engineers repositioning the motors inside the new frames to centralize weight and balance things out a little better," says GasGas. "Sounds like a small change, but it's something you'll really notice when you hit the trails." The EC models also feature new frames, sub-frames, swing - arms and suspensions. They are fitted with new WP Xplor open- cartridge forks and updated WP Xplor shocks. All EC models use rear shock linkages. The ECs also get new body - work, forged triple clamps, Braktec brakes, footpegs, throttle body injection with a separate oil tank for the two-strokes, and new electronic exhaust control for the two-strokes. The enduro line will be avail - able in September. CN All of the EC enduro models feature several big changes, including the EC 300 two-stroke (pictured).
