Review
The 2016 GASGAS EC 450 Raid is built for long-distance off-road adventures, powered by a 449cc engine and equipped with a massive 30-liter fuel tank. This large fuel capacity allows for extended journeys without frequent refueling stops. The bike weighs 127 kg, reflecting the added weight of the larger tank and potentially other touring-oriented components. A 940mm seat height provides a relatively accessible riding position. The Marzocchi Shiver inverted forks offer capable suspension for handling varied terrain, while a single disc brake with two-piston calipers provides adequate stopping power. The 5-speed gearbox is suitable for both on and off-road riding. This model would appeal to riders looking for a reliable and capable machine for rally-style events or long-distance adventure riding. The GASGAS EC 450 Raid is designed for riders who prioritize range and durability. The large fuel tank, sturdy construction, and capable suspension make it a suitable choice for tackling challenging off-road conditions over long distances. Its ergonomics likely favor a comfortable riding position for extended periods in the saddle.
