Could go either way. But, I've been riding GasGas' since 1998. This happens every few years. I'll still stick with my current bike.

GasGas are manufacturing bikes, why would they be pulling out of one region?
If there's dealers who are willing to stock and support the brand, why wouldn't the factory supply them? Seems like a Orange bike dealer trying to spread some dirt. Last edited by Davehuge; 07-25-2019 at 04:22 PM.

GasGas said they knew how important the North American market was and is pushing to do it right this time. I believe there is no way they pull out of NA unless the company completely goes bust.

One of our old salesmen called it F.U.D.
Fear, Uncertainty, Distrust. Sprinkle it about whenever a customer talks about a competitor. Sales people are a different kind.

Probably Not.
They have such good products right now, it doesn?t seem logical. Every few years they pull back on their budget and it scares the beejesus out of everyone. I could be wrong but I don?t think so.

They're not pulling out of such an important market. There are lots of GG haters that can't shut up and tell BS about that company whenever they can.
They have trouble, that's a fact and they will close a flag ship store in the US and another one in Spain. That's my latest information. Currently they are trying to get rid of Torrot and these unnecessary e-bikes almost no one wants. Your 300 is a brilliant bike and so is mine :-) May GasGas get strong and healthy again! We need them to show that red is the color too look for in a boring armada of pumpkins and gardeners bikes.
