2014 EC300 Model and changes
Opened up the crate last week on our 2014 and started to write the list of changes over the last couple of years to the bike! I am sure the thread was started before, but here is a refresher! GasGas has had some struggles in 2012, the 13 bike was an improvement, and the 14 hits it!
Some key things over the competition for the same price if not lower?.(i am sure i missed a few) AXP Skid plate comes stock FMF Stealth spark arrestor 48mm marzocchi forks Reiger shock (this is a very nice shock with long durability and a solid history) Polished hubs Excel Rims Galfer Wave rotors front n rear Nissan brakes New engine cases (lighter, smaller) New cylinder (consistent performance) New cylinder head New water pump housing for better cooling (GasGas has always been a very cool running bike) Vforce 4 reed system (upgrade from vforce 3) Many smaller items as well Bigger oil sight glass New rear brake pedal with bearing system, works better Front axle pull New outer clutch cover (better oil flow) Side plates have access to exhaust Double wall handlebar (renthal copy) New footpeg design with removable brackets

Mark, Thank you for posting the photos. Any word about the 200's?
Were can I get one of those GG floor mats? |

Love the extra hole in the side panel to access the exhaust mounts!
Sounds like a good list of revisions. No doubt the rags will still find something to bag though. Like the pink shock I'm interested to see/hear what the changes to the head have been. Hopefully they've taken advantage of the improved tolerances in the cylinders and will be shipping with less head to piston angles and a tighter squish band. |

Thanks for the report. Not much 'Real' info on the 2014's as of yet.

Early reports would suggest that the 2014 GGs have turned the corner. I sure would like to see/hear about the fit and finish of the 14's. As much as I might not like aspects of the orange bikes, they are well put together. What I've seen of the Sherco's and Beta's recently has also been a step above the Gassers in this regard. I'm due for a new ride in 2015. It will most likely be a GG, but definitely so if the fit and finish matches the Euro competition. |

Ditto on the GG floor mats and stand. Where can I get a GG mat and stand?

To heck with the scales - roll it over some rocks, roots, and logs.

That is a gorgeous bike Mark. I am new to the forum and joined because I want a 300cc 2-stroke for Hare Scrambles racing. This 2014 GasGas won't let go of me. I'd be very interested to hear your review of the bike.
