Review
The 2003 GAS GAS EC 300 is a capable enduro motorcycle powered by a 294.7cc two-stroke engine, producing a claimed 50.6 HP at 7340 RPM and 49.2 Nm of torque at 6890 RPM. This translates to a punchy and responsive power delivery ideal for navigating technical trails and conquering steep inclines. Its light weight of 102.5 kg (226 pounds) contributes to its agility, making it easy to flick through tight corners and maintain control in challenging conditions. Top speed is around 136.8 km/h (85 mph). The bike features a 6-speed gearbox allowing for optimal gear selection across various terrains. Front suspension duties are handled by either a 43mm WP or 45mm Marzocchi upside-down telescopic fork, providing ample travel to absorb bumps and maintain stability. A single disc brake with a Nissin pump and caliper provides adequate stopping power. The 9.5-liter fuel tank ensures decent range for longer rides. With its tall 940mm seat height, the EC 300 is best suited for taller riders or those with considerable off-road experience. It's a machine designed for riders who appreciate the raw feel of a two-stroke engine and demand performance in demanding environments. The 2003 EC 300 provides a direct and engaging riding experience for those seeking an authentic enduro machine.
