Anyone got a review of the 2013 race with the new barrel
 

The new barrel has the new gasgas "g" on the side cast into it, supposed to have the ports dropped to aid bottom end and is set up to maintain top end, and have a new pv cover and pv settings, anyone ridden one and happy to compare to older bikes??

Thanks guys!

Got pics Simmo?

Are these the ones that had us talking back in 2012?

Link from 2012 Thread - http://www.gasgasrider.org/forum/sho...nder#post78539 - Speaks about the differences in cylinders.

I can't find any pics currently, but they will be floating around somewhere.

So here....GG Logo on the ouside...ports are the same!

That's the one, oh well maybe just cleaner casting and pv changes. Thanks for that guys.

I like the one that says "S3" on the side. If I raced seriously I would be having one of those. :rolleyes:

Also, no power valve chamber on the left side.

Ah if its just a G cast in the side its probably just an S3 cylinder. I was getting excited that it could have been one of the ones we saw in 2012 pics that actually ran a completely different lhs powervalve cover (if any). My memory isn't 100%.

Simmo, when you get your 2013 250R you can always send your cyl down to Dave at TSP at the first top end. He's got specs and data from a couple different cylinders including mine (with the S3 on the side).

Hmm.. Externally casting is a bit different too. Maybe they're not S3. :confused:

Is that a 200 cylinder? There's no head bolt provisions on the exterior of the jug.

Care to elaborate on the PV design changes?
