Default $333.95 for a Piston Without Rings

Interesting, I just checked a US GasGas dealer for a piston without rings for my 2011, $333.95 plus tax without rings or wristpin and ciclips.

There are plenty of options for pistons and even some piston kits with gaskets included, on ebay and elsewhere. I have purchased the complete piston kit with rings, wristpin, and gaskets for $230.00 USD. It is great to support your GasGas dealer, but some items are going to be more costly through the dealer network.

I just put a Wossner kit in that I bought off a dealer and with everything came to $230 Canoodian. That's like $170USD. And Wossner is a great name in pistons.

Yes, I am putting a wossner piston in my Cr250 and it was about $170.00. But the oem GasGas pistons were $121.00 before this new dealer network was started. $121.00 to $335.00, really?

Hello There...if you go to our website you can order a quality Piston kit after market for a lot less than an oem.

Here is a link to that section:
http://www.gasgaspartsguy.com/browse.htm?shopBy=-35931

We have inventory, so if your rebuilding we also offer other items you might need. Please check around our site and any questions please ask.

Thanks

One of the things I am doing with our new site is to offer you choice. If you want OEM it's on my site to buy, but I have been going to some extremes to hunt down a less cost alternative to OEM and not sacrifice the quality for the price. We are stocking more and more Gas Gas parts and accessories daily. If you ever have any questions, please ask. I'm here to help.

Thanks

'18 300 isn't released to the public yet. And model codes haven't been confirmed. So we don't even know if it will be an XC or EC or DE or anything else yet for sure. I'd be shocked if Matto has anything for a bike that isn't even available yet.... But I'll let him answer for sure.
