2017 GAS GAS EC 300 R
FIRST RIDE
P70
with the company, which also
just acquired off-road legend
Scot Harden as chief marketing
director. Plus, Gas Gas recently
hired former factory motocrosser
Broc Hepler as one of its new
off-road factory racers. As you
can see, Gas Gas is serious
about its comeback.
In between our rides on the
EC 300, Aaron filled us in on
Gas Gas' major push to make
the company with the funny
name successful again.
"Gas Gas now has a sub-
siderary team, an arm of the
factory here in the U.S.," Aaron
said. "They gave a group for
the dealerships and a team for
promotions. My new role with
Gas Gas is to work with the
media and provide new models
and showcase the new bikes. I
will also continue to race Endu-
roCross, which is something I've
been passionate about for 10
The new EC 300 R two-stroke
isn't dramatically changed
over the previous model.
Luckily, it was already a very
good off-road bike.
