cascao Posted September 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 If, in future we see one trials bike in each KTM dealer floor, It will be a big opportunity for our sport. (Hope they are better than regular ktm enduro riders) I guess next generation gasgas EC will be only an red KTM. My biggest concern is how small companies like ordonez (radiators) braktec, formula and many others will deal with this new gg. Killing these suppliers will put big stress on ktm competitors like beta and sherco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagle8 Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 It maybe good for Trials , but it won't be good for the GasGas name ? Remember what happened to Husaberg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 Just imagine a Gas Gas with a reliable transmission. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breagh Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 Maybe if Honda bought them! No matter here, a £ will be worth half a euro shortly if we're lucky, here's hoping the Ethiopians will hold some concerts for us. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If GasGas was unable to pay their suppliers that would put considerable stress on those small manufacturers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I suppose they might revert Gas Gas to a Trials only mfg since they probably don't need a third line of 2T enduro bikes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you didn’t suggest they are interested but figured better just clear that consideration off the plate... ?

They might want access to a 2 stroke engine, and of course the Gas Gas gearbox?. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they really wanted to go back to 2T I would expect they would just pull up the specifications of the 315R... Now the Gas Gas gearbox on the other hand, that’s an interesting consideration... ?
