First look 2026 GASGAS Off-Road range – black rims and fans, 450 enduro model ditched
GASGAS unveil the 2026 Enduro, Cross-Country and Motocross ranges with fresh looks on the red machines plus technical updates and, at last, black rims and fans as standard – 450 model ditched from the enduro line-up.
It’s about time GASGAS. We’ve been asking since the start. We’ve pointedly showcased the technical accessories-equipped bikes, as well as the factory race bikes, and finally, finally you’ve ditched the steel hoops for black anodised rims and given us a fan for free. Hallelujah.
In fact, the full enduro, cross-country and motocross ranges have had a style makeover which we like a lot: the red seat cover has been replaced with a full black gripper type, black Neken bars and a new bar pad, the rims and the fresh graphics give them a new look.
Besides the aesthetic changes, all bikes have small technical upgrades which in truth we have already seen on the KTM and Husqvarna 2026 models.

First Look: 2026 Husqvarna Enduro Range – Technical Updates
The 2026 motocross range includes the MC 125 and MC 250 two-strokes plus MC 250F and MC 450F four-strokes. The kids get the MC 50, MC 65, and MC 85 (available in two wheel size options) line-up.
The smaller 2T kids bikes have their own technical updates including revisions to the triple clamps and cooling system plus the MC 50 and MC 65 have improved forks for a plusher feel on track.
The Enduro has had a tweak to the line-up for 2026 with just three models now: the EC 300 two-stroke and the EC 350F and EC 500F four-strokes. No more 450 is a surprise to us.

The EX 300 is the only cross-country bike available in 2026 and not in all countries. The EX 300 uses a six-speed, cross country-specific transmission and WP XACT Closed Cartridge forks, and a larger, nine-litre fuel tank taken from the enduro bikes.
The EX also comes with an 18” rear wheel and in the US at least is fitted with Dunlop Geomax AT82 tyres/tires. In all other ways it is based on the moto machines with those open cartridge forks and suspension settings, different exhaust systems and ECU settings.
