Can anybody tell me exactly regarding 2017 models what weight distribution changes have been made to the Es range ? what rear shocks are std. on which bike. what forks are std on which bike ? have they finally sorted master cylinder seals problem? What internal components are different? Are the specs the same worldwide?... apart from uk not having homologated lights for example. what brake discs are they using?

2stroke4stroke Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 A lot of that info seems to be available via a link on the Gas Gas UK website. Don't think I have ever seen any manufacturer give a fore/aft weight distribution figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2stroke4stroke Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 It did mention the name of the disc manufacturer. The bulk of the relative front/rear weight distribution must be down to the rider weight and footrest position so perhaps not seen as being as consistent or important as on a fast road bike placed on the scales?

heffergm Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 (edited) It's rather safe to say that GG didn't change much on the newly released model... it's a mid year refresh because they put out the 2017 bikes late in 2016 after the pesky going out of business problems. That said, I bought one, it's nice. It's no different than my 2014 aside from Tech forks (which I'll always prefer, only because it's so much easier to do maintenance on them).
