Gas Gas Ec 250
The Gas Gas EC 250 is a two-stroke enduro motorcycle that has been a staple of the Spanish manufacturer's lineup since the early 1990s, when Gas Gas established itself as a serious competitor in off-road racing. The EC (Enduro Competition) series gained a strong following in European enduro championships and cross-country racing throughout the 2000s. After Gas Gas was acquired by Pierer Mobility Group (KTM's parent company) in 2019, the EC 250 was updated with modern KTM-influenced components, significantly improving reliability and performance while retaining its competitive off-road character.

What Buyers Should Know
KTM-Shared Platform
The GAS GAS EC 250 shares its engine and frame platform with the KTM EXC 250, meaning parts are widely available and mechanics are already familiar with the hardware. This significantly lowers long-term ownership and repair costs.
Watch the Coolant System
A common issue to inspect is the radiator and coolant hoses, as aggressive off-road use can lead to minor leaks or overheating if maintenance is neglected. Always verify the cooling system is intact before purchasing used.
Strong Resale Value
Due to its KTM mechanical DNA and the growing popularity of the GAS GAS brand, the EC 250 holds its resale value well compared to lesser-known competitors. A well-maintained example typically sells quickly in the used market.
