2018 GASGAS ENDUROGP 300
FIRST TEST
P80
been raised, we have to say that vibra-
tion is just tolerable on the GasGas. The
counter-balanced KTM's have spoiled us,
big time.
The GP's engine isn't perfect, however.
One tester said that power flattened out a little too
soon on top for his liking, and both our testers felt
that jetting from the 38mm PWK Keihin carbure-
tor needed some fine-tuning to iron out some
unwanted detonation while the engine is under a
load. We don't know yet if this is an easy fix
or not, but the highly adjustable Keihin is a
fine unit and we expect that a fix is doable.
We love the GasGas' electric starting
which performed flawlessly on this day. It
seems strong and durable, but only time, which
we unfortunately did not have, will tell how it will
hold up in the long run. However, it is noisy. The
GasGas still comes with a manual kick-starter for
backup.
The GasGas
shines when the
trails turn tight
and technical.
