The engine is a carry over from the '17 model, with a few enhancements.

4 strokes
Are the 4 strokes long gone from Gas Gas? They had purchased the Italian Husky tech so I'm wondering what happened.

If I took a guess at their business model I would say they are currently focused on getting the new 2 stroke released and marketing it heavily. If sales numbers are high enough they will have three split focuses. #1 will be meeting the Euro5 Emission Standards for their 2-stroke motors, which they are probably already working on. #2 will be creating an electric enduro bike and maybe an electric trials bike. #3 will be creating a line of 4 stroke bikes. Probably starting with something around a 300-350. This is my guess because its what I would do. But its nothing more than a layman's guess. (Obviously they have lots of focus on the trials bikes as well and will keep moving them forward.)

My understanding is that Husky engines are not being considered a serious option any more. This topic has been discussed in interviews of the top management of Torrot/GasGas several times and it is mentioned that new engines are being developed. It is also mentioned that they are not in hurry. So I would take a closer look at Spanish national championship bikes no sooner than 2018 season trying to figure out which of these bikes with odd plastics is actually a next generation 4-stroke GG test mule

The 2017 is sexy. Keep in mind you guys are looking at a prototype. The production bike could be different.
