18 models. Six trials bikes, four minis (including an MC-E5), four full-size MX bikes (125, 250F, and 450 F), and a slew of off-road models.
Confirmed that TLD will handle the team, racing in both the 250 and 450 classes. Tyler Keefe will continue his role as Team Manager. No rider announcements as of yet.
There's a new website, http://www.gasgas.com/ (last I checked, it was struggling). Maybe give it a bit.

Their YouTube launch video went live 30 minutes ago:
- 125 and 250f have cast clamps:
- 450 Was shown with SXS clamps and Akro system:
- No Excel marks on any rims but they still have billet hubs

Who realistically thought Barcia would ride a 350?
Mark my words!
Honda has got to be upset these clowns choose to make their bikes red.

No maps? Well that is a bit of a bummer. I wonder if you can buy the upcoming mapping device that you can for the KTMs and Huskys?
Tires? Who cares, it's a wearing item either way.
Stock wheels (and pretty much all the other stock wheels) are never great. It seems like the GasGas hubs are the same as the other Austrian brands but the rims aren't DID or Excel branded?
Still a pretty decent deal in my opinion!
People have been clamoring for less expensive bikes for a long time. Is this a chance for a group to go from, say, "Ready to Race" to something along the lines of, "Ready to Ride?" If so, what's wrong with that?
They plan to utilize older tech parts and lower cost items to provide a lower cost machine that will meet the needs of probably 90% of people.
I like the idea personally. Imagine if KTM released the 2017 models side by side with their current 2021 models but at $1000 or $1500 less cost. This is what GG will essentially be doing in time. The 2021 GG models will likely be a blend of 2018-2019 tech and parts.
This...IS...VITAAALLLLLL
This is great news and great options for people wanting to keep life simple, yet having the ability to hop up their bike down the road
