RIDE REVIEW I 2025 GASGAS MC 300
instead, it prefers to be short-shifted so you can
maximize the power output. If you hold the throttle
wide-open for too long, the power will quickly sign
off, reminiscent of old-school four-stroke engines.
Today's four-strokes tend to be more "revvy," which is
amusing to think how the roles have reversed.
As mentioned, with the GasGas, you're restricted
to just one engine map, but we've ridden the KTM
300 with dual maps—standard and aggressive—so
we know what the GasGas is capable of if you fully
unlock the GG's ECU and the hidden aggressive map.
We like the aggressive map on the GasGas and think
it's well worth the extra $130 to unlock it.
The MC 300 is competitive but, more importantly, fun.
