Review

⌄

The 2008 GAS GAS EC 200 Hobby is a slightly more accessible version of the EC 200, designed for riders who are newer to enduro riding or prefer a more forgiving machine. It retains the 199.4cc two-stroke engine, providing a lively and engaging power delivery. The 6-speed gearbox offers good control over the engine's output. Like other EC 200 models, it boasts a light weight of 95 kg, contributing to its nimble handling. The fuel tank holds 9.5 liters. One notable difference from the standard EC 200 is the slightly lower 940mm seat height, which may make it more manageable for shorter riders. The 45mm upside-down front fork offers 270mm of travel, slightly less than some other EC 200 variants, potentially resulting in a slightly softer ride. The Hobby model also features double front disc brakes for reliable stopping power. The EC 200 Hobby is a great choice for riders who are new to enduro riding or who prefer a more user-friendly machine. Its slightly lower seat height and potentially softer suspension make it more accessible, while its responsive engine and lightweight chassis still provide plenty of fun. It's a capable and confidence-inspiring bike for exploring off-road trails.
