Forget about the stated weight and go by what it feels like when your riding it. That is what I go by and I have never had a gasgas that felt heavy to ride..

The weight of the 2007 and 2018 EC300s is not a negative to me on single track and fire roads as compared to the 2008 ktm 200xc I just sold. That was the lightest year ktm 200 ever at about 208 lbs (from memory).
While riding I never noticed the extra weight of either EC300 except that I prefer the EC300s since they feel more planted to me and that makes me feel more confident. The lighter weight 2008 ktm 200xc was a great bike but the light weight also makes it dance around more on the trail than the Gassers. |

i won't play childish games I respect gas gas ..the frame is similar to a 15 ktm.... yes a 13 is heavy by today's standards...however worse I would say is the steering lock or lack of....on that chassis..i would prefer and 11 nambo...with the 48 mm zokes...my two cents...im always available in Huntersville or Akeley mn. Weather permitting..for further discussion face to face..

Like (almost)everyone else, I'm interested in the weight of my bikes, but was always too lazy to check it out for myself. So recently, I took my wife's new hi tech bathroom scales out to weigh the two bikes I have on hand.
The first was my clean (no dirt or mud) '01 GG XC 200 with a full tank of fuel, ready to ride. Only extra's are bark busters & rear disc guard. Combined weight was 253 lbs. (It still has stock oem headlight & tail/brakelight combo) Next was my '17 Husky FE 250 4 T, street legal, full of fuel, only extra's are Cycra wrap around hand guards. It weighed 264 lbs. Both bikes hold about 2.5 gal of fuel. Honestly, I thought both bikes would come in under 250 lbs. They both feel light out on the trail. I'll bet a lot of guys would be surprised by the actual, ready to ride weight of their bikes, regardless of brand. RB |

I've found a good rule of thumb is to add 20-25lbs to advertised weight for enduro bikes and 15-20lbs for MX bikes.
