During Saturday 7th September we were invited to admire a few of the new MX models from the 2025 Gas Gas range. This was being held at the Terra Topia Motocross track, an obvious choice in Gauteng.
A delightful sunny day for all to enjoy was the reward for the South African importers team (part of the KTM SA division of course). As mentioned, only a few of the range was on display, these being the MC 50, MC 85, MC 125, and the MC 250F representing the four-stroke corner.
However we were more than impressed to see an interesting, and very desirable, selection of electric Gas Gas machines designed to entice new kids into the off-road MX scene. This ‘clever’ idea most certainly seemed to have worked as we saw many thrilled cheeky faces trying out the electrifying Gas Gas range on offer.
The only problem after that ‘childish’ exercise will probably be the poor parent who’s going to have a very expensive Christmas list dropped onto their lap. Then once these infants grow they can move up to the bigger Gas Gas two-strokes and enter a race class, which is perhaps the idea behind a launch like this. We’d like to promote heavily any activity to get these little urchins off their phones, right folks?
Anyway, after having a closer look over the models on display we were impressed with the build quality and especially liked the red/red distinctive colour scheme, offering something a little different from its siblings.
The people who chose to ride the bikes came away with nothing but praise for the new engines and handling attributes, especially the MC 125. The MC 50 was a predictable choice for the kids and took a good beating but came away unscathed, again a testament to the build quality and desirability for budding new MX competition riders.
So, all of these new 2025 bikes are now available at your local Gas Gas dealer, so drop in and check them out. Meanwhile click onto www.gasgas.com/en-za/models/motocross.html for more information and pricing.
