On the topic of the DR test of the EC 300 . . .
First, for what it's worth, I think the Dirt Rider staff does a good job with
their tests and, speaking as an an owner of both KTM and Gas Gas woods bikes, there's no question that KTM produces a competitive product and
both bikes have their good points and shortcomings.
The thing that struck me about the opinions and analysis of the GG in the Dirt Rider article was that their testing was almost certainly done in a more open environment (with the exception of the Endurocross course) than the
tight, technical trails where the Gas Gas truly excels.
Had they done their testing on tight, technical single-track with lots
of obstacles, I predict the Gas Gas would have definitely gotten
an even more positive review.
