Hey Guys, I dont know much about the Gassers, How would a 07 mc 250 be on the tight trails?? I belive that it has the 50mm forks as well, Im a 450 mx vet guy and trying to make a good chose. How does it compair to the 300 as far as low end goes, still racing on the 450's so I'm looking for somthing that I can lug a little. thanks

I have an '07 MC 250.
The power is more mid to top end, it has very little flywheel effect.

It does really well in tight woods. But, if you're looking for a bike you can lug I would go with an EC 300.

Or put the 300 top end on the 250.

I find my mc to very lug-able compared to a jap 2 stroke, but thats more to do with its milder porting as opposed to crank inertia.As long as you have a good tire and correct gearing your good to go.

Yeah, Now I did ride a ktm 250 xc and thought it was great as far as going slow.

Around here guys are switching back to two strokes in horde's . a couple of years ago on a typical ride I was the only renitent two stroke rider in a ocean of thumpers. I like to think I played a small part in the guys conversion back to the two stroke. I'm still surrounded by a sea of orange just a different flavour.
