Riding offroad doesn’t get any more varied than enduro!
Throw in high-speed plains and mix them with slow, technical climbs, and every day on the bike is guaranteed to be different. For many, enduro is all about the challenge, whether it’s reaching the top of a technical climb, mastering rocky terrain, or enjoying epic days on the bike from sunup to sundown. The bikes are built to be strong and capable with enduro-specific parts such as a big fuel tank, supple suspension, and a wide ratio transmission to make the experience a whole lot more fun. GASGAS has a competitive line-up of enduro bikes to choose from with each one guaranteeing epic days in the dirt.
GasGas EC 500F 2026
Big power, big fun, and built to go the distance – the EC 500F is your go-to machine for wide open trails and long days in the dirt. With a smooth and responsive SOHC motor, agile handling, and rider-focused electronics, this big-bore beast is surprisingly nimble. WP suspension keeps things planted, while the 6-speed transmission and traction-enhancing DDS clutch make sure you stay in control. Add in black rims, a black handlebar, and a bold new look, and you’ve got a serious enduro weapon that’s ready to rip.
Graphics
Black graphic details bring a bold twist to the signature GASGAS red, with a clean white logo that pops right off the dark background. Other blacked-out parts like the seat cover, handlebar, and rims dial up the style to really set things off. Thanks to durable IML technology, the graphics are built into the bodywork to keep your GASGAS looking sharp, ride after ride.
Frame
The current frame hits the sweet spot between razor-sharp handling and just the right amount of flex. Lightweight motor mounts dial in the feel without messing with straight-line stability, and smart material tweaks, like a slimmed-down upper shock mount and reduced wall thickness up front, save 300g. Developed with the GASGAS Factory Racing crew, it’s a setup that stays planted and lets you push harder in every turn with a big smile in your face.
Motor
It might be our biggest capacity and most powerful enduro bike ever, but make no mistake, the EC 500 motor makes this big-bore steed a blast to ride! All of the latest engineering techniques have been utilized to build this lightweight, SOHC motor to make sure it creates a super smooth spread of power. And trust us, it’s smooooth!
Brakes
Fast is fun but quite often in enduro, you’ll need to slow down in a real hurry! This is precisely why all GASGAS enduro bikes are fitted with the latest high quality BRAKTEC brake calipers and controls. With a 260mm disk up front and a 220mm disk at the rear, braking performance is seriously impressive, which inspires riders to push harder, ride faster, and brake later.
ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (EMS)
Small, light, and fast at processing data! The Engine Management System (EMS) is constantly measuring, calculating, and optimizing how the motor is running and adjusts accordingly, which means you can just focus on the trail ahead. After all, that’s what enduro is all about, right? The EMS also allows for the bike to have two engine maps, Traction Control, and a Quickshifter. All of which can be engaged, or disengaged, from the handlebar-mounted Map Select Switch. Plus, as crashes are part and parcel of riding offroad, there’s a new rollover sensor that stops the motor if the bike goes upside down, which in enduro can, and often does, happen!
