From bad ass biker books to the latest mini rippers for moto youth! GASGAS is fanning the flames of kids everywhere with a tandem of 2-strokes – the MC 50 and MC 65. Both bikes get a new digital ignition, cylinder head, exhaust, frame and rear WP shocks for 2024. And to ensure they grow on you, for the first time ever, the MC 50 features fully adjustable, child-specific ergonomics. The bike fits a wider range of riders… and can grow with them until they are ready for a super mini… or at least the 65cc big brother.
A new motor offers a broader spread of power, which makes the MC 50 much easier to ride… as does the adjustable ergonomics. The bodywork, shock and subframe can now be fitted in two positions, offering a seat height of either 24.9 in or 26.8 (634 mm or 683 mm). This allows smaller kids to start on a smaller bike, staying with the MC 50 as they grow in size and confidence.
MC 65
For kids stepping up from the MC 50, the MC 65 is ideal, but GASGAS knows the MC 65 may well be the first time some late bloomers throw a leg over a dirtbike with a clutch and transmission. The engineers designed both components for easier use, and like its smaller sibling, the MC 65 features adjustable ergonomics which can be fit into two positions: 28.1 in or 29.9 in (715 mm or 760 mm).
Both bikes share a dizzying array of updates, including:
New bodywork – Scaled down from our full-size bikes to create a unified look across the range, the new and all-red bodywork certainly looks the business!
New motor – Much more powerful than the old generation and sets the bar even higher when it comes to 2-stroke performance!
New frame – Replicating the design of our big bikes for ultimate strength, improved handling, and confidence-inspiring stability. The shock’s mounting position has also been moved to reduce the energy transferred through the frame.
New polyamide reinforced steel subframe – Strong, light and height adjustable with two positions to accommodate growing riders while playing a vital role when it comes to the bike’s overall handling.
New cylinder head – Features redesigned inserts made from two separate parts for simplified maintenance! And who doesn’t love that?
New ignition – The new digital ignition is largely responsible for the increased power and durability.
New clutch – A steel basket means improved durability while the diaphragm spring clutch self-adjusts to maintain performance.
New radiators – Two new Pankl radiators replicate the same design as used on our full-size GASGAS dirt bikes, just scaled down to fit the MC minis.
New exhaust – With the welds on the inside smoothed over, it makes for a noticeable power gain throughout the rev-range.
New WP XACT rear suspension – A shorter rear shock with 253.5 mm of travel lowers the back end to create a much more balanced chassis and is perfectly matched to the WP XACT front forks.
New footpegs – All-new design improves grip, prevents mud from building up, and stops them catching on deep ruts.
New shift lever – A scaled down version of what’s found on our full-size bikes, precise shifting in all conditions is super easy thanks to its clever design that prevents mud from building up around the tip.
New kickstart – A quick prod of the redesigned kickstart and the little GASGAS fires right up!
New handlebars and grips – A modern bar bend improves body position while ODI grips offer maximum comfort.
Dealer deliveries are set to start in November.
