I was just wondering how does one get this bike I’m in nj I go to the website and it doesn’t have an option to buy at least from what I have seen then it says look for dealership and it doesn’t show nothing
I'd love to see a video of you setting up the clickers to your liking. There's lots of videos out there but most of them are tailored towards moto and not enduro.
Great video. Excited to see more content. And definitely want to see mod videos. PS. The music jungle at the end almost blew my ears! Watch your levels.
Other than being a 300 vs your 250 I think a lot of what you are describing is the power characteristics of the TPI bikes in general. They are smoother and some think tamer and kind of "boring" power but they seem to put the power to the ground more efficiently. Just wait until you get into some steep, slow gnar and you are going to be impressed.
@@thesmoness I know. I also saw a video review of the Husky that stated it was significantly lower compared to the ktm. Like 30mm vs the stated 10mm. I am wondering if the composite subframe makes the difference. Hoping someone who has sat on them can let me know. I live 4 hours from a GG dealer
@@andrewgraham8561 I think the GG and Husky are similar in seat height from what I remember. If the Husky is lower it's not by an amount that can't be changed with setting sag and shaving the seat if needed.
@@TrailBoundco in my opinion its not needed the bikes are great as is i have a 2020 250xc I put a high comp head and flash it gave it more snap off bottom under 1/4 throttle it has more pep. You can try turning out ur pv 1 turn or so as well
Both those bikes are nice man. I may switch from my heavy beast of a 500 to the two smoke - heavily torn between 250 and 300 and whether or not to go TPI. Would you mind sharing your camera setup? Chest mount? 4:3 or 16:9? Wide lens, Superview??? I've never owned a Gopro where you can actually see that I'm riding up a hill, it just looks flat and non-challenging. Your vid is clear how steep that hill is.
I road An 250kx added a heavy steady fly wheel weight to the existing stock flywheel they are one of the smartest additions I ever made next to the ims gas tank !!!
Yeah I didn’t set up the sag it was way to stiff for my weight (140lb) I might re spring it as I have the clickers backed pretty far out now. It has the xcw gear box at 50t vs my xc gear box at 51t
I had the exact same impression with arm fatigue on my 2021 300xcw, it took me 2 real good rides to get used to the power delivery and throttle response compared to my 2018 250, but after that you appreciate the ease of getting over obstacles and want to attack bigger and gnarlyer things 😜
Most of your observations are the extra torque from the larger 300 motor, same as KTM 250/300 difference. The reason the 300 feels so light is because you have a TON of crap bolted to the front end of your 250 bike and that destroys the light feeling. I avoid putting stuff on my bars, triple, fender as much as possible to maintain the light front end feeling. It doesn’t take much weight in the handlebars area to change how the bike feels. Also the question everyone wants to know is how does it compare to a KTM/Husky 300? Basically the same bikes with some different components.
Don’t worry I got all the crap (that I use to protect the bike or fix the bike) bolted on and it still feels light and torquey. Compared to previous 300’s I’ve ridden it feels more nimble which had always driven me away from 300s
First off awesome vid. Like the comparison with your 18 250 XC. I am looking at the GG EC300 as my next bike. Coming off a 2019 250 xc-w How does the seat height compare between the two bikes? What are your thoughts going from the standard gearbox on the 18 XC to the wide ratio of the GG EC300? Thoughts on brakes and clutch pull?
@@dustieolson7513 that’s interesting because seat height spec is the same for all the bikes I believe. My gf always says my xc feels lower than her xcw (both 250) I think the linkage bikes sit lower
I would like a couple videos on How To Do...!!! Oil Changes, maintenance and stuff like that, I have the same Bike and that will helps me a lot to keep my bike fresh
Rode a 21 TPI 300 and I was shocked at how mellow and unexciting it felt in the low and mid. If I recall, you were a bit hesitant to leave the snap of the carb models. Any early opinion since this vid?
which bike was it? I think then reason I'm enjoying this gas gas 300 is because of the more aggressive characteristics that the mapping of this model comes with. it's been feeling great
@@TrailBoundco I think he goes down a piston size on the master only so it takes more clutch pull for the same clutch travel. You looked good on the beta!
Man, i bet you feel ripped off, you could have gotten 3 gas gas for the price you paid your KTM, OH yeah China has no problem with stealing technology, it's what they do, i want one
great video I'm mostly interested in tracablility and luggability. Apparently those aren't words but you know what I mean, the last bike I had anything real steep and she turned into a worthless spin king.
I am in the market for a new 300. I have heard from a dealer here that the Husky seat height is lower than the EC300 by about 1/2 inch. I wonder if it is because of the subframe. Might be important for shorter riders like myself. Also brakes seem to be better on the GG
@@andrewgraham8561 I chop my seat low and run a softer sag, it’s fine after that even for how much technical dabbing I do. When I rode the bike with high seat and hard suspension it felt way to tall for me!
Wow really? I have no idea what TH-cam does but I pay for premium so I haven’t seen adds in forever. The money I get back from TH-cam wouldn’t even pay for how much gas I buy for my bike unfortunately
@@TrailBoundco Yeah the money doesn't go to the channels. Thats why I don't get premium. I only notice ads on my phone, I use ad block on my pc so its always a shock to see ads again on the phone.
@@TrailBoundco well, the set up options you speak of are not very significant .. I know the testers have to talk up any minute diffences like its a major difference .. but at the end of the day it comes down to a colour choice or a price choice .. red being the cheapest, white being the dearest and orange in between .. at least KTM is a stable company that's proven to be a stayer through thick and thin, so the Husqvarna badge and Gas Gas badge will stay strong in the market place while KTM remain the owners.
@@Wolfdog370 don’t get me wrong it’s all nit picky options but I like the options. How would I get a linkage bike with spring forks and aluminum sub frame? When I put spring forks on my xc the geometry was a little off and if I went husky I’d have to somehow mod an aluminum sub frame. I’ve been looking for this option for a while so it makes me happy
Looks like a great place to test out that bike! well done video dude!
I was just wondering how does one get this bike I’m in nj I go to the website and it doesn’t have an option to buy at least from what I have seen then it says look for dealership and it doesn’t show nothing
I’d love to see a video showing all the parts you put on it!
Love the red! 👍🏽
🤑
awe man, I've been looking for a video on this bike. Thanks!
cheers, I did a couple other ones and more to come
Get a good look at it now......it won’t look this beautiful in a few weeks, but that just means you are enjoying it! Congratulations on the new ride.
hah thanks! these things are fun!
I'd love to see a video of you setting up the clickers to your liking. There's lots of videos out there but most of them are tailored towards moto and not enduro.
Congrats on the new bike! I'd love to see vids about your mods!
👍😎 Beautiful scenery, and a good 1st impression review.
Great video. Excited to see more content. And definitely want to see mod videos. PS. The music jungle at the end almost blew my ears! Watch your levels.
Looking great. You were ripping, definitely looked faster. Have fun getting it dialed in, looking forward to seeing what you do. 👍✌️
thanks man it feels so much easier to do everything on this bike
I think you’ve convinced me to get the 300 over the 250. I need the low down grunt for the slow stuff. 👍🏼👍🏼
did the pipe get dented?
Surely with that crunch and bang
Nice ride man. I haven't checked, what is the out the door price on one of those suckers? Thanks for getting one first.
I agree with the protection on the bike.. and the body
Haha “I’m gonna get hurt on this thing.” First thing I said when I got my new 300 too.
Right!

I was coming here to suggest this Greg. Curious what he would think of the beta 300 being a carb
You might be able to help me out with the seat height question. Is there much difference between the GG and an XC-W?
@@andrewgraham8561 gas gas is like 0.6 inches shorter the internet says
@@thesmoness I know. I also saw a video review of the Husky that stated it was significantly lower compared to the ktm. Like 30mm vs the stated 10mm. I am wondering if the composite subframe makes the difference. Hoping someone who has sat on them can let me know. I live 4 hours from a GG dealer

1st what an amazing place to ride 👍 Good luck with this Gas-Gas, definitely post the mod videos....
Switch the throttle cam to the aggressive one and turn power valve screw out should help put snap back into tpi👍
I didnt get a different throttle cam, wonder if I can buy that. I made a few simple mods and the throttle is super responsive now
Great video!! And great technique
Maybe a tsp med comp head and ecu refresh
fill me in on why I would need this. like when I'm riding it now, what would it be lacking?
@@TrailBoundco in my opinion its not needed the bikes are great as is i have a 2020 250xc I put a high comp head and flash it gave it more snap off bottom under 1/4 throttle it has more pep. You can try turning out ur pv 1 turn or so as well
The more ion depth review the better, Mods also 👍😎😎
I’m buying one in late spring and want to know as much as possible, Thank You, Barry
This riding footage is awesome!
Definitely show us putting on the new mods. Cool bike!

@@dustieolson7513 that’s interesting because seat height spec is the same for all the bikes I believe. My gf always says my xc feels lower than her xcw (both 250) I think the linkage bikes sit lower
I’ll try to do more videos addressing all this but the gear box is only slightly annoying not as bad as I thought
Love to see the mod/gear videos
ok cool I'll try to document it well! I've been posting on IG regularly but would be cool to have it all in one place here on TH-cam
I would like a couple videos on How To Do...!!! Oil Changes, maintenance and stuff like that, I have the same Bike and that will helps me a lot to keep my bike fresh

gotta love a freshie!

@@TrailBoundco 21 KTM 300 XC TPI. In fairness, it had a Rekluse in it. I think they dull them down a pinch.
Any chance you can review a 2021 KTM 500?
One thing rich Larson was saying on the clutch was the piston size vs what ktm uses and he usually changes the size for better slow modulation
Yeah that’s what I’m thinking too. I kept stalling it. Not sure if I’m gonna learn to get used to it or just put a brembo on
@@TrailBoundco I think he goes down a piston size on the master only so it takes more clutch pull for the same clutch travel. You looked good on the beta!
I just picked one up really like it 👍
250xc all day!!
Does GasGas make a 250 2t ?
Yup! It’s cheaper too
Did your ec come with any kit like spoke wrench, plug wrench, fuel line wash plug or tpi prime plug?
Can you say something about the differences between the beta 2020/2021 and the GasGas 2021? Standing between both, and I don´t know what to take ;)
Is the frame identical to the KTM frame?
I don’t get it
It looks and sounds identical to my TPI 300 ktm
Man, i bet you feel ripped off, you could have gotten 3 gas gas for the price you paid your KTM, OH yeah China has no problem with stealing technology, it's what they do, i want one
I just started getting into dirt bikes, are gasgas bikes any better than Honda or kawasaki?
Yeah , maybe not kawi but any brand other than Suzuki is better than a Honda
Try a JD jet tuner.
Looking good . Sure, run us through the set up .
Pick mine up today!
I need one! 🏍💨
🌲🌲Yeeeeeeeewww 🌲🌲
Does it have the same transmission as the ktm xcw? I can’t seem to find any info on how the trans is geared compared to the ktm xc and xcw.
Full video of everything you put on it
Motorex or motul?
Do you know the differences between the ex and EC? Are they compared to the xc and xcw?
Yep exactly, ec is xcw and has braketech brake/clutch. Ex is xc and has brembo brake and clutch like ktms
great video
I'm mostly interested in tracablility and luggability. Apparently those aren't words but you know what I mean, the last bike I had anything real steep and she turned into a worthless spin king.
good vid
the weight is what about 250?lb vs yz 229 wet???
Sick freshie
Any comments compared to Husky TE300i?
Makes the husky obsolete in my eyes. Now you can get a linkage bike and not have to deal with the husky composite sub frame!
I am in the market for a new 300. I have heard from a dealer here that the Husky seat height is lower than the EC300 by about 1/2 inch. I wonder if it is because of the subframe. Might be important for shorter riders like myself. Also brakes seem to be better on the GG
Both you can add a lowering link. I’m short as well. That’s why the ktm is not an option for me. I have the 690 with a lowering link too.
@@braaap690 lowering links change the geometry
@@andrewgraham8561 I chop my seat low and run a softer sag, it’s fine after that even for how much technical dabbing I do. When I rode the bike with high seat and hard suspension it felt way to tall for me!
Almost looks like northern UT...
if you've got some sick trials rocks in UT like this hit me up I'd love to ride more stuff like this!
@@TrailBoundco utah has all kind of rocks
Are the PV springs changeable as they are in the KTM/husky’s?
@@tylerfidler5223 yeah it’s the same motor as the ktm and husky just different covers and mapping
@@TrailBoundco oh wow, interesting. Looks like a badass bike!
lets see the mods!
Wow, amazing how it looks like a KTM
Holy shit yt, 7 ads for a 13 minute video wtf.
Gotta pay for clutch levers somehow.
Buy TH-cam premium them

the more gasgas vids the better lol
Gas Gas?
oh do you mean "KTM Gas" :)
i have the GG 300cc 2006, and i miss fuel injection.
Now you can buy a ktm in 3 different colours, orange .. red & white
all with different setup options, and all the parts are universal and easily accessible how awesome is that!

thanks!
damn so its just a husky or ktm 300 just not as good looking
It’s a ktm that is more snappy and responsive, has linkage + spring forks and cheaper. Win win
1st !!! 😄
It’s the same bike as KTM HUSQVARNA
hummm,,, kinda sounds like a KTM
it is a KTM, with different options
ktm gasser ...not the real thing
Its an insult to call that a Gasser .
How well does the counterbalancer work on this bike compared to older ktm 300 non counterbalanced
