I'm not able to find the correct link right now, but if memory serves me right the 200 will be a XC type without headlights.
It was presented as a US only model, but as far as rumours tells me, it will be available in Europe as well.

Anyone heard any more news on the 200's? I'm still so torn. I've never ridden a 200 but I don't want to buy one and be disappointed after owning my 300..

Default EC and XC200

I am just returning from meetings in Spain over the weekend. I saw our EC and XC200 bikes %75 percent built, just waiting one more estimated week for the new cylinders from S3. This has been very frustrating waiting on the new cylinder molds from a vendor, trust me. I estimate now they should arrive in USA by mid to late March.

Everyone has been patiently waiting and we thank you for that. As soon as built we will be bringing 2 units in via Air. One for our female GNCC racer and one for Dirtbike magazine.

Will try to keep you posted.

So great to hear Mark!!! We appreciate the hard work you guys are putting into this for us! It hasn't gone unnoticed.

I'm really torn between the 200 and 300..

If it doesn't take much time and you are able to advise, can you confirm that the 200 will be the exact same frame and bodywork as the 250's and 300's? or will it receive its own "smaller" frame?

If the answer is slightly smaller frame I'm definitely getting the 200!

With the amount of time they had on R&D before the 18 model's, they could only do the one frame/Chassis. It is a different cylinder, head, with new cdi and ignition. Quim (lead R&D enduro) does tell me the motor is very, very nice. Coupled with the KYB suspension I expect it not to disappoint.

I had assumed as much. Thanks so much for taking the time to message back.
I'm always astounded that you guys are willing to take time to do that. One of the many things that impresses me with GasGas.

I registered for the Offroad Ontario race series this morning. Pretty excited that I'll be on a new bike this year. Just gotta decide which one to get!!

If you guys ever need help with anything in Ontario, Canada feel free to shoot me a message. I'm always willing to volunteer to see another bike company gain more attention.
