rockgardener Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Trials newb here. Just got a very slightly used 2012 250 Eco at a great price. Trying to get clear on differences from the 2012 standard Pro model. See if I've got it right. Engine internals are the same, but frame is from 2010 Pro model. Fork is steel Sachs unit, instead of aluminum Marzocchi. Header is steel, instead of titanium, and muffler is all-aluminum instead of aluminum/composite. Rear wheel is rim-band-type instead of having spoke flange. Rear brake has separate master cylinder and remote reservoir, instead of integrated unit. Tires are Pirelli instead of Michelin. Airbox is small, instead of new larger design. Plastic is 2010-spec, with different stickers. Is that a complete and accurate accounting? Why is there no official description of the 2012 Eco on any of the Gas Gas websites? Many thanks for your knowledgeable replies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockgardener Posted March 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 Steel fork is a Paioli, not Sachs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cycledave Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 I also have the '12 Econo 250. I believe the rear shock is different make than the '12 Pro model, from an earlier Pro model. Sweet bike! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
