GASGAS ANNOUNCES CUTTING-EDGE MC 85 FOR 2025

NEW 2-STROKE MOTOCROSS BIKE SET TO CHANGE THE GAME IN THE HIGH-REVVING 85CC CLASS

When it comes to building high-performance 2-stroke dirt bikes, GASGAS sure knows a thing or two! So, for model year 2025, our super-popular MC 85 has undergone a complete overhaul – maximizing power from the motor while introducing an all-new frame and new WP XACT shock, to deliver confidence-inspiring handling and better stability. Not one component on the bike was overlooked by our engineers during the development process of this new generation model. The end result? A super-fun dirt bike that’s easy to ride fast for guaranteed good times!

  • GASGAS comes out swinging with an all-new generation MC 85!
  • New frame, all-red bodywork, and an updated motor headline the improvements
  • Find the awesome new MC 85 this July at a GASGAS dealer near you

For youngsters aged between 11 and 15 years old, we know there are a few options out there when it comes to moving up to the 85 class. But at the top of everyone’s list, thanks to a long list of serious updates for 2025, should be the awesome MC 85!

The new generation model has been developed with serious input from a global team of young test riders, with their feedback allowing our highly skilled team of engineers to build what may well be the best production 85cc motocross bike ever made! And just like before, there are two options to choose from with the MC 85 – one with 17”/14” wheels for smaller riders and another with 19”/16” wheels for those kids who grow just that little bit quicker!

The main objective for everyone involved in building the new MC 85 was to make it much easier to ride and control, compared to the outgoing model. There’s an all-new frame that maximizes stability and creates a lighter feel through the turns. A new WP XACT shock for better traction when getting on the gas. A new, lighter swingarm, and new footpegs, too. But wait up, that’s not everything…

Our already awesome MC 85 motor wasn’t overlooked when it came to developing this new bike! Top-end performance was already super impressive for an 85cc dirt bike, so the focus was put on squeezing out more low to mid-range power and boosting torque. And with a new cylinder head, ignition, exhaust, spark plug, and settings inside the KEIHIN carburetor, in addition to the revised airbox for increased airflow, we can safely say it is mission accomplished. Then, to make sure the MC 85 runs at the perfect temperature at all times for maximum power, new radiators, made by PANKL, keep the motor running cool.

And, on top of all that, the motor is repositioned in the frame to help balance the bike out even more. Plus, there’s new, all-red bodywork and new graphics to match the big bikes. The side panels are now even slimmer than before too, so kids can move around much more easily to emulate their GASGAS Factory Racing heroes!

Overall, the new MC 85 is designed to look just like our full size bikes, which lets kids do their thing on a scaled down version of what they can expect to ride when they get a bit older. Trust us, little rippers from around the world are going to love everything about the 2025 GASGAS MC 85. The post-ride smiles will tell you everything you need to know about how good it really is!

Riders ask, GASGAS delivers! That’s right 2-stroke fans, GASGAS has introduced an MC 150 and an MC 300 to its motocross line-up! By expanding the offering, GASGAS really does now have a bike for everyone – from beginner to pro and every rider in between. The little MC 150 uses the foundations of the super-popular MC 125 but takes power – and more importantly – torque to a crazy new level for such a small capacity dirt bike.

The same can be said for the MC 300, which is based on the versatile MC 250. Offering up plenty of power, it’ll be the super useable torque curve that 2-stroke fanatics are going to love most about the MC 300! Both bikes are built using the same high-quality components found on all GASGAS motocross models for 2025. Such as the revised frame design…

Removing a little material around the upper shock mount and reducing thickness at the front end of the frame has resulted in the new motocross range shedding some weight for 2025 – 300 grams in total. These revisions significantly improve handling – especially when entering corners – without sacrificing any straight-line stability. New engine mounts further refine the frame’s flex characteristics, with revised suspension settings introduced to complement the chassis changes and help elevate the riding experience.

A stronger air intake sleeve prevents flex to maintain maximum airflow. At the rear of each bike, the swingarm is updated to enhance the durability of the chain slider, which is made from a more hard-wearing material to boost longevity. The suspension linkage now uses new, lower friction SKF seals to allow the WP Suspension rear shock to perform at its best, with a smaller linkage bolt reducing weight and playing a part in delivering the refined flex characteristics from the updated chassis.

HUSQVARNA MOBILITY EXCITED TO REVEAL NEW GENERATION TC 85 FOR 2025

NEW FRAME, IMPROVED ENGINE, AND MULTIPLE TECHNICAL UPDATES TRANSFORM THE POPULAR SMALL CAPACITY MACHINE

For 2025, Husqvarna Mobility is pleased to announce a new generation TC 85 to underline its continued development of high-performance, two-stroke minicycles. The competition-focused machine is now built around an all-new chassis that offers significant improvements to handling and stability, while an updated engine boosts bottom to mid-range power. Further components introduced to improve the on-track experience for all young riders include the new WP shock, swingarm and ergonomic bodywork. Rounding out the changes, new graphics to match the full-size models create a modern and unified look for the class-leading TC 85.

With the previous generation model raced to victory in the 2023 FIM Junior Motocross World Championship, the new TC 85 is built upon proven foundations and beautifully crafted. For 2025, a new frame with refined geometry considerably improves handling and stability. Mirroring the construction of the full-size machines, the new WP XACT shock – which is 16 mm shorter than before to ensure a more balanced chassis – is mounted onto the upper frame tube. This design creates a more planted feel for the TC 85 and is a huge benefit on rough tracks and big jumps. Additionally, the steering head angle is reduced by a half degree and positioned six mm closer to the centre of the chassis for enhanced cornering, especially when exiting turns.

The 85 cc two-stroke engine benefits from several new components, all introduced to create stronger power in the low to mid-range without sacrificing top-end performance. The updates include a new cylinder head, spark plug, ignition and exhaust, with the settings inside the Keihin carburettor adjusted to suit the improved engine. Finally, when compared to the outgoing generation, the engine is rotated three degrees upwards at the front, and by pivoting from the same mounting point at the swingarm, the weight is distributed more effectively for improved cornering and jumping.

The swingarm itself is new and 300 grams lighter thanks to a refined casting process. Together, the new frame, WP XACT shock and swingarm combine to reduce the overall height of the TC 85. These changes, introduced alongside new ergonomic bodywork, ensure young riders can move around on the TC 85 much more easily, which inspires confidence and allows them to compete with improved control. In addition, a modernised rider triangle created by the new footrests, handlebars and lower seat further enhances the riding experience, making the new generation model incredibly effortless to ride.

Technical highlights:

  • Revised engine – delivers a significant boost from low to mid-range power
  • New frame – with revised geometry for improved stability and handling
  • New swingarm – 300 grams lighter and made using an updated process for optimal rigidity
  • New WP XACT rear shock with shorter travel – refines balance and stability
  • New bodywork – scaled down from the full-size machines with ergonomics to suit youth riders
  • New graphics – replicating the same the design as the full-size models for a modern, unified look
  • Easily adjustable WP XACT forks – optimal performance and low weight
  • MAXXIS MAXXCROSS MX-ST tyres – exceptional straight-line stability and excellent traction
  • Two engine maps – for maximum performance and reliability in all conditions
  • Formula brakes and Galfer discs – deliver best-in-class stopping power
  • Miba hydraulic clutch system – consistent action and durability
  • High-grip seat cover – maximum comfort and control

KTM 85 SX 2025

STEP UP INTO THE BIG LEAGUES

Filling the gap between the KTM 65 SX and the KTM 125 SX, the 2025 KTM 85 SX provides young racers the ideal platform to launch into full-size motocross competition, ready to pick up the baton and continue its domination in the 85 cc class.

The 2025 KTM 85 SX is developed to be as close to a scaled-down version of a full-size KTM Motocross machine as possible, with international testing in Europe, North America and Australia. This has resulted in an 85 cc screamer that not only looks like it's bigger brothers but behaves like them, sharing the same high levels of quality and attention to detail.

For 2025, the KTM 85 SX has been updated significantly to enhance handling characteristics, boost rider confidence, and improve engine performance in the low to mid-rpm range.

A completely new frame, subframe and swingarm provide the basis for the update over the previous generation. Based on the full-sized KTM SX frame concept, the high-strength chromium molybdenum steel frame integrates carefully calculated longitudinal flex and torsional rigidity parameters for unmatched rider feedback, energy absorption, and straight-line stability. This is mated to a 1-piece polyamide glass fibre reinforced aluminum subframe, reducing overall weight and providing a platform to integrate the electronics. Manufactured using a gravity die-cast process, the one-piece aluminum swingarm offers exceptional strength with minimal weight. The topology has been optimised for maximum rigidity, and an improved casting process reduces the weight by 300 grams. Additionally, a 20 mm rear axle has been fitted to optimise and match the chassis flex characteristics.

The new frame also allowed for a new riding experience with a steering head at 63.5 degrees – half a degree flatter than the previous generation – and moved rearwards by 6 mm. This has aided in cornering stability and a more planted feel in high-speed acceleration, further supported by a wider steering angle of 35 degrees, which has improved the steering angle by 2 degrees over its predecessor.

The engine position has also been tweaked, with a 3 degree rotation upwards to maintain a more direct connection point with the swingarm. This has allowed for the most effective weight distribution when hitting jumps.

Regarding suspension updates, the 2025 KTM 85 SX benefits from an all-new, fully-adjustable WP XACT monoshock mirroring the latest technology found in the full-size motocross range. Linked directly to the swingarm in a PDS format, the WP XACT monoshock has a different mounting point to the previous generation, allowing for a more compact rear shock design with a shorter stroke. This provides improved rider feedback and stability over larger jumps and rough tracks.

A notable update over the previous generation is a lower suspension travel of 289 mm compared to 305 mm on the previous model. This has dramatically aided in controlling rebound and compression in the rear shock, with a more planted feel, better traction and overall handling.

Up front, the 2025 KTM 85 SX maintains the championship-proven and lightweight 43 mm WP XACT USD AER fork. Compared to the previous generation, the air pressure is tuned to 4.8 bar from the previous 5.0 bar for a smoother ride and suspension compliance.

An updated engine has improved power in the low and mid-rpm range and increased torque for performance. This is made possible by a new cylinder head and spark plug, ignition, exhaust, shift drum, and updated carburettor settings.

Changes on the new generation KTM 85 SX have also extended to the overall looks, with all-new slimmer bodywork mimicking that of the full-sized KTM SX range. This new look is also functional, allowing for better contact with young riders’ boots when standing up. New footpegs, a larger radiator and improved triple clamps round out the changes.

The 2025 KTM 85 SX is another example of KTM’s dedication to mini-cross, with the same amount of energy and attention going into the development of grassroots racing as it imparts at a Supercross level.

The new 2025 KTM 85 SX will be available for £6,399, from August.

MOTOCROSS 2025

KTM TAKES RIDER CONNECTION TO THE NEXT LEVEL WITH THE 2025 KTM MOTOCROSS RANGE

In its latest update since the completely revamped 2023 KTM SX range, the 2025 KTM SX and 2025 KTM SX-F range have upped the ante when it comes to rider connection, composure and control – along with the return of a fan favourite.

Engineered to provide riders with more control than ever before, the 2025 KTM SX and SX-F range brings a series of updates adopted directly from KTM's Factory Racing efforts, making this the most READY TO RACE line-up yet.

The frame has received the most significant update share, with visible cutouts and tube-wall thickness changes around the front, engine mounts and rear shock mounting areas. These changes have been specifically engineered to improve chassis flex characteristics and reduce weight by around 300 g while maintaining overall stability and improving cornering behaviour. An updated swingarm with a machined chain glider and an updated rear brake pedal for improved durability round off updates to the frame.

New Dunlop GEOMAX MX34 Motocross tyres are standard on the 2025 KTM SX and SX-F models, providing stability and control at the highest level to perform at their best. These feature a new carcass compound that improves damping and absorption, adding up to 30% longer performance. New Progressive Cornering Block Technology improves traction, grip and mud dissipation.

At the rear, the WP XACT rear shock benefits from an updated linkage with renewed seals and smaller diameter linkage bolts. The setup is taken directly from the KTM Factory Racing Team and is optimised to benefit weight savings and stiffness parameters. To complement the updates at the rear, the WP XACT AER fork features reworked settings to account for more flex and less weight.

Ergonomically, the 2025 KTM SX and SX-F range features new tank shrouds with bi-composite plastics on the upper and lower flanks, providing a fresh, sharp and distinctive new look and improved cooling. This is supported by an updated fuel tank roll that protects the frame against wear from scrubbing and improves tank fitment. Lastly, an updated air inlet sleeve and snorkel design features on the 2025 models. This is now a one-piece part, preventing deformation through a more robust and stiffer material design.

Above the surface, all-new graphics mirror the new design language of the tank shrouds and hint at the many small technical changes on the 2025 line-up. Full-orange bodywork, red and black in-mould graphics, and a more durable black seat bring a clean look while communicating pure, READY TO RACE intention.

Model year 2025 also sees the introduction of the Connectivity Unit Offroad (CUO), which is available as a KTM PowerPart for the 2025 KTM SX-F line-up. The CUO offers various functionalities and adjustability options via the KTMconnect app. This exists as two parts: the CUO – mounted on the right upper fork between the lower and upper triple clamp – and the GPS sensor on the front fender. A CUO-compatible front fender is available as a KTM PowerParts option.

At long last, the cherished KTM 150 SX rejoins the 2-stroke stable with much anticipation. The 2025 KTM 150 SX builds upon the foundation of the KTM 125 SX but with a significant overhaul of components. Specifically designed, modified and rearranged for racers in pursuit of elevated performance, it offers enhanced torque and an enriched riding experience.

The 2025 KTM SX and SX-F models introduce subtle yet significant enhancements to the race paddock, offering the broadest selection of machines designed to meet the needs of every rider and racer.

Something super fresh is the fact GASGAS has made sure riders are still able to swap the cylinder head insert for one from its Technical Accessories range, allowing for customisation and an increase in power.

For 2025, all bikes feature revised transmissions for improved shifting and reliability. What’s more, the TXT RACING models now feature the same gear lever as found on the TXT GP models for added strength and smoother shifts. However the upgrades to the TXT RACING range don’t stop there! The bikes are now equipped with the same wavey GALFER discs as found on TXT GP models, allowing riders to benefit from a heightened level of brake control through every section. These discs meet the regulations of the highest FIM race series, ensuring no change is needed.

Exclusive to the TXT GP bikes are slightly reworked hubs for even better strength, which in parallel results in a weight reduction in the front. The lighter hubs are just as strong as before, still anodised in black and finished with two GASGAS laser etched logos. Also, TXT GP models look the business with the latest GASGAS Factory Racing inspired graphics.

Even though each bike in the 2025 line-up is built to perform at the highest level of trial, that doesn’t mean they can’t be ridden for fun by those who simply want to enjoy time with their riding buddies at the weekends. By being so easy to ride, maintain and customise, it’s pretty clear why GASGAS trial bikes are loved by so many enthusiasts around the world.

To highlight all the technical details and list what’s new for 2025, here’s a handy rundown of the components found on each model.

The Dynamic Pack introduces Motor Slip Regulation (MSR) for controlled deceleration with the Anti-Wheelie mode limiting the maximum wheelie angle for extra safety.

A best-in-class technology package provides ease of use and maximum performance for every rider. The J.Juan brake system delivers exceptional stopping power thanks to the corner-sensitive Bosch ABS system. For advanced riders, a Supermoto ABS mode can be engaged by those looking for a heightened level of braking feel and a closer connection with the road.

Pairing the unit with the Ride Husqvarna Motorcycles app allows for clear Turn-by-Turn navigation to be activated, as well as the ability to control telephone calls and music selection. A Hazard Warning system is also integrated into the handlebar controls while anti-theft protection is provided via the immobiliser.

There’s a brand-new GASGAS in town and we’re stoked about it! The battery-powered MC-E 2 is designed for young kids to safely and easily discover the thrills of offroad riding. Make no mistake, this little red ripper raises the bar sky high – so high that we’re sure it’ll leave all similarly sized and spec’d dirt bikes, e-powered or otherwise, in its dust!

New MC-E 2 changes the game for kids learning to ride offroad
Size adjustability, three ride modes and disc brakes ensure safe progression
Available in Authorised GASGAS Dealers from November 2023

Modern design, built with the latest technology and so much fun to ride, thanks to its low weight and WP suspension, every kid will absolutely love the MC-E 2. One of the bike’s coolest features, hands down, is that it can be easily adjusted in size with only basic tools required. So as the little riders grow, they can keep on riding the MC-E 2 for longer before jumping up to a bigger bike.

Parents will love the MC-E 2 too as it’s assembled with quality components and needs little to no maintenance to keep it running sweet. Plus, the three ride modes allow for safe and progressive learning and with the motor neatly housed inside the rear wheel’s hub, there’s no better or safer dirt bike out there.

Low maintenance – Battery-powered, no chain, no sprockets – just simple, hassle-free riding
Safety features – The motor only provides power after the throttle has been twisted forward slightly and in addition to a conventional kill switch, a rollover sensor cuts power when the MC-E 2 is laid down

GASGAS TURNS UP THE HEAT WITH ALL-NEW 2024 MC 50 AND MC 65!

SMALL, RED AND EASY TO SHRED: DIRT BIKES FOR THRILL-SEEKING KIDS WORLDWIDE

Hot on the heels of GASGAS’ full-size dirt bike launch, we’re back with two awesome new 2-stroke mini bikes for 2024 – the MC 50 and MC 65. These latest generation models, which are pretty much all new, will certainly spice things up for every young rider out on the track. Headlining the massive list of exciting updates for both models is their adjustable ergonomics, as well as vibrant new bodywork, new motors and new frames. Almost everything about each model has been improved to take the riding experience to the next level. Without doubt, they’re the hottest dirt bikes kids will ever need!

  • GASGAS’ all-new generation MC 50 and MC 65 offer next-level performance
  • Adjustable ergonomics allow each bike to be adapted as riders grow
  • Check them out in GASGAS dealers from December 2023

Kids grow fast – sometimes a little too fast – which is why the GASGAS engineers have made the MC 50 and MC 65 adjustable in size. This means youngsters can continue riding a familiar bike, really getting the most out of it before stepping up to a bigger model. Plus, as both bikes are built from quality components in the same way as full-size GASGAS MX models, you know that these little rippers are the real deal.

MC 50
The new engine creates a broader spread of power, making the MC 50 so much easier to ride, and with classic GASGAS styling influenced by our full-size bikes, it really is a seriously good-looking dirt bike! Everything about it, including the new ignition, cylinder head, exhaust, frame and WP rear shock, combine to really boost the overall performance and handling of this awesome little 2-stroke.

Technical Highlights – MC 50
New and adjustable ergonomics – For the first time ever, the MC 50 features adjustable, child-specific ergonomics, which means the bike perfectly fits a wider range of riders. The bodywork, shock and subframe can now be fitted in two positions, offering a seat height of either 634mm or 682mm. This allows smaller kids to start on a smaller bike and stay with the MC 50 as they grow – in both size and confidence.

New bodywork – Influenced by our full-size bikes to create a unified look across the range, the new and scaled-down all-red bodywork looks the business!

New motor – With a slightly larger capacity of 49.9cc, the new motor creates a much broader spread of power when compared to the old generation but make no mistake, this little motor is just as high revving and packs a real punch!

New frame – Replicating the design of our bigger bikes for ultimate strength, improved handling and confidence-inspiring stability. The shock’s mounting position has also been moved to reduce energy transfer through the frame for next level rideability.

New polyamide reinforced steel subframe – Strong, light and height adjustable with two positions to accommodate growing riders, while playing a vital role when it comes to the bike’s overall handling.

New cylinder head – Redesigned inserts made from two separate parts for simplified maintenance – who doesn’t love that?

New ignition – The new digital ignition is largely responsible for the increased power and durability of the new MC 50.

New clutch – A reinforced basket means improved durability while the multi-disk clutch pack helps deliver smooth and predictable power.

New radiator – One large radiator (instead of two) helps simplify the hose routing to improve cooling in all conditions.

New exhaust – With the welds on the inside smoothed over it makes for a noticeable power gain throughout the rev-range.

New WP XACT Rear Suspension – A shorter rear shock lowers the back end of the MC 50 to create a much more balanced chassis and is perfectly matched to the WP XACT front forks.

New footpegs – All-new design improves grip, prevents mud from building up and stops them catching on deep ruts.

New handlebars and grips – A super modern bar bend improves body position and boosts technique while ODI grips offer maximum comfort.

New hour meter – For making sure routine maintenance stays on schedule.

MC 65
For kids stepping up from the MC 50, our MC 65 is ready and waiting. Because riding the MC 65 could be the first time a child throws their leg over a dirt bike with a clutch and transmission, our engineers have designed both components to be easy to use and maintain a consistent performance. This, in addition to the unrestrictive ergonomics, more usable spread of power and a perfectly balanced chassis, allows young thrill seekers to focus on what matters most – riding fast and having fun!

Technical Highlights – MC 65
New and adjustable ergonomics – For the first time ever, the MC 65 features adjustable, child-specific ergonomics which means the bike caters for more riders. The bodywork, shock and subframe can now be fitted in two positions, which offers a seat height of either 715mm or 760mm. This allows smaller kids to start on the lower seat height and eventually graduate to the taller setting, keeping them riding the same bike for longer and building up their skills and confidence.

New bodywork – Similar to the new MC 50, the new bodywork is a scaled down version of our full-size bikes abd also looks the business!

New motor – Much more powerful than the old generation and sets the bar even higher when it comes to 2-stroke performance!

New frame – Replicating the design of our big bikes for ultimate strength, improved handling and confidence-inspiring stability. The shock’s mounting position has also been moved to reduce the energy transfer through the frame for next level rideability. Riders will also enjoy carving through tighter corners thanks to a wider steering range.

New polyamide reinforced steel subframe – Strong, light and height adjustable with two positions to accommodate growing riders while playing a vital role when it comes to the bike’s overall handling.

New cylinder head – Redesigned inserts made from two separate parts for simplified maintenance.

New ignition – The new digital ignition is largely responsible for the increased power and durability of the new MC 65.

New clutch – A steel basket means improved durability while the diaphragm spring clutch self-adjusts to maintain performance.

New radiators – Two new Pankl radiators replicate the same design as used on our full-size GASGAS dirt bikes but scaled down to fit the MC 65. These rads, in addition to a new coolant hose layout, keep the bike running super cool for maximum power and motor durability.

New exhaust – With the welds on the inside smoothed over it makes for a noticeable power gain throughout the rev-range.

New WP XACT rear suspension – A shorter rear shock with 253.5mm of travel lowers the back end to create a much more balanced chassis and is perfectly matched to the WP XACT front forks.

New footpegs – All-new design improves grip, prevents mud from building up and stops them catching on deep ruts.

New shift lever – Influenced by our full-size bikes, precise shifting in all conditions is super easy thanks to its clever design that prevents mud from building up around the tip.

New kickstart – A quick prod of the redesigned kickstart and the MC 65 fires into life. Simple!

New handlebars and grips – A super modern bar bend improves body position and boosts technique while ODI grips offer maximum comfort.

New hour meter – For making sure routine maintenance stays on schedule.

HUSQVARNA UNVEILS LATEST ELECTRIC MACHINE

NEW MODEL ALLOWS YOUNGSTERS TO DISCOVER THE EXCITING WORLD OF RIDING OFFROAD

Husqvarna Motorcycles has expanded its growing line-up of e-powered minicycles for 2024 with the introduction of an all-new model – the EE 2.

Designed for children (between 90-130 cm in height with a maximum weight of 35 kg), the EE 2 is built to the highest of standards and offers multiple adjustment options, ensuring different sized riders and riders of greater or lesser ability enjoy riding a machine that fits them perfectly. Offering fast recharging and expertly assembled with premium components throughout, the EE 2 is ultimately designed to ensure youngsters learn the essential skills needed to competently ride offroad. 

The new EE 2 is the smallest of three models in Husqvarna Motorcycles’ electric minicycle line-up, standing alongside the proven and popular EE 3 and EE 5 machines. To set itself apart, the EE 2 features an innovative motor that is housed inside the rear wheel hub and offers a peak power output of 1.8 kW. The motor is both dust and waterproof, and most importantly for parents, it is maintenance-free. 

A quick-to-recharge and easily swappable Husqvarna BLi300 battery provides power for children to enjoy up to 100 minutes of riding time aboard the EE 2. Additionally, the battery utilises the same design as most modern power tools, which means non-stop riding is possible when fully charged spare batteries are available. The battery fitted as standard can achieve an 80% recharge in just 35 minutes with a full charge taking one hour. 

The EE 2 can be quickly adjusted in multiple ways for a personalised riding experience. For taller riders, the seat height can be increased from the standard height of 470 mm to 500 mm with a couple of simple steps – lowering the WP forks through the triple clamps and repositioning the WP shock. The power delivery can also be altered easily using the Multi-Functional Display unit. Conveniently positioned in front of the seat, this intuitive device allows parents to select one of three power modes. These begin with a walking pace option, through to the least restrictive setting that allows for a top speed of 33 km/h. 

For the highest levels of reliability and performance, the EE 2 is assembled with an aluminium frame, swingarm, and skid plate, with hydraulic disc brakes and a Rollover Sensor ensuring complete control and safety. Rounding out the construction of the new model are components from specialist offroad brands including WP suspension, KENDA tyres, and ODI grips. 

Husqvarna Motorcycles is proud to now offer a trio of exciting electric minicycles following the introduction of the entry-level EE 2. For when riders outgrow this new machine, the larger EE 3 and EE 5 models are designed to deliver pure motocross performance with their premium WP suspension, powerful motors, and comprehensive specification.

INTRODUCING THE KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE R – THE BEAST, REBORN

The 2024 KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE R and KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE R EVO have erupted into the Naked segment without warning, sending a clear message to the competition: there is a new BEAST on the prowl.

With 2024 marking 30 YEARS OF DUKE, the all-new KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE R and its high-tech stablemate – the KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE R EVO – have evolved into their most fearsome iterations yet.  

The numbers tell the story – 1,350 cc, 190 Hp at 10,000 rpm and 145 Nm of torque at 8,000 rpm, ripping into the tarmac with pure ferocity and a new, more aggressive look to match. Impressive figures aside however, it is its effectiveness at getting power to the ground that makes it even more potent.  

For 2024, THE BEAST has undergone a striking aposematic evolution, sending a clear warning message to anyone brave enough to take it on. An all-new LED headlight unit dominates, with new tank spoilers and added winglets making it known that it is not to be messed with. A further reduced subframe cover eliminates the brake light making for an even sharper look and riding experience. With a lower overall profile and more emphasis placed on the compact chassis, the KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE R looks more muscular and aggressive than ever before. In short, KTM upped the attitude by lowering the altitude.

A redesigned air intake and airbox see a revised fuel tank with an overall tank capacity of 17.5 litres – an increase of 1.5 litres over its predecessor. This not only takes the riding range up to around 300 km / 185 miles but also performs an important ergonomic function. In the hunt for grams, every panel has been calculated for optimum thickness and minimised where possible, with new tank spoilers and added winglets increasing downforce.

However, it is the lightweight and ‘smart’ headlight design that makes the biggest visual impact. Weighing in at nearly 700 g less than the previous unit and boasting an alien-like design, it adds an all-new aggressive glare to the KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE R. Position and daytime running lights are located on the profile of the headlight, which auto-adjusts in intensity according to ambient light conditions.

Additionally, the KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE R and KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE R EVO are fitted with Coming Home light functionality as standard. Here, the headlight will remain on for a short period of time after the ignition has been switched off, allowing for greater ambient visibility. This not only illuminates the surroundings but provides a level of safety when parking in dark areas.

Backing up its muscular stance, at the heart of this ferocious BEAST sits an enlarged powerplant – an updated version of the LC8 – further marking its territory as the alpha. The bore is increased to 110 mm to achieve an engine displacement of 1,350 cc, with an all-new cam shift integrated on the cylinder heads. This provides more power and torque throughout the rpm range and allows for a more differentiated fuel mapping to meet the latest EURO 5+ emission regulations.  

Getting that power to the ground comes courtesy of new, lightweight MICHELIN Power GP tyres with dual-compound technology, as well as a new WP APEX shock absorber which is fully adjustable, allowing for separate high and low speed adjustments, rebound and toolless pre-load adjustment. Improved DCC settings provide better pressure balance resulting in less compromise between suspension comfort and performance, while new 48 mm WP APEX Open Cartridge forks with split function provide optimised settings.  

On the KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE R EVO however, the suspension management is taken to an all-new level with the latest generation of WP Semi-Active Technology (SAT). As the most advanced suspension system on the market, it features electronically controlled magnetic valves for variable damping, providing a wide range of adjustability – from maximum comfort to track-ready stiffness. Here, the SCU (Suspension Control Unit) adapts the damping rates via the magnetic valves in real-time, reading the road surface and rider style to automatically adjust the suspension on the fly. 

The technology feast doesn't end there, with both the KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE R and KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE R EVO debuting updated PERFORMANCE and TRACK MODES, complete with lap timer and telemetry stats, as well as optional ENGINE BRAKE CONTROL and an updated SUSPENSION PRO module for the KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE R EVO. 

The KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE R and KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE R EVO are available in select 30 YEARS OF DUKE colourways, reminiscent of the orange scheme found on the 2005 KTM 990 SUPER DUKE. Both 2024 models will be available from January 2024 onwards, UK pricing below:

  • 2024 KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE R – £17,999 OTR
  • 2024 KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE R EVO – £19,599 OTR

 A full range of specially developed KTM PowerParts and KTM PowerWear are available for riders to personalise their motorcycles and get themselves kitted up in READY TO RACE gear, both functional and casual.

KTM will also be giving away a brand new KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE R towards the end of the year. Entrants are encouraged to visit KTM.com to sign up for the KTM newsletter and be entered into the lucky draw.  

THE 2024 KTM 990 DUKE HITS THE BULLSEYE WITH SNIPER-LIKE ACCURACY

Heralding a massive leap forward for the KTM Naked range, the all-new KTM 990 DUKE takes aim directly at the coveted 1000 Naked bike segment, pulling no punches!

With 2024 marking 30 YEARS OF DUKE, the all-new KTM 990 DUKE slots into the line-up like a well-polished round in the chamber. In its quest to be the most performance-focused NAKED machine possible, the KTM 990 DUKE ticks all the right boxes mechanically, while deploying extreme new styling.

The KTM 990 DUKE makes its intentions perfectly clear. Apart from a blisteringly potent engine, an all-new chassis and swingarm design – not to mention updated ergonomics and technology – it now sizes up to larger capacity motorcycles in both displacement and proportions.

Side-on, the new design has been modelled around the concept of an explosion in a freeze-frame, harnessing extreme energy ready to be released. This new design is further enhanced by two colourway options; Black and Electric Orange – the latter being reminiscent of the Naked models of a bygone era, developed specifically to celebrate 30 YEARS OF DUKE.

At the face of it, predatory design meets reduced styling with its evolved LED headlight being a stand-out feature of the all-new KTM 990 DUKE. Constructed from a carefully chosen mix of materials, the new design ensures lighting stability in all road conditions. Position and daytime running lights are located on the profile of the headlight, which also auto-adjusts in intensity according to ambient light conditions thanks to a light sensor integrated into the dashboard.

Additionally, the KTM 990 DUKE is fitted with a Coming Home light function as standard. Here, the headlight will remain on after the ignition has been switched off, awarding the rider with a few seconds of light to open doors or for better visibility in the garage.

Power is taken care of by a dramatically updated version of the LC8c engine found in the KTM 890 DUKE R. Boasting 947 cc, the roaring heart of the KTM 990 DUKE receives new pistons, crankshaft and conrod, producing a fire-breathing 123 HP and 103 Nm, with a total motorcycle weight of only 179 kg, ready to ride.

The KTM 990 DUKE takes its DNA from the long lineage of hard-hitting DUKE models that have come before it, adding more verve and aggression for 2024. It is a performance-oriented machine at its core, designed around a lightweight, flickable chassis that inspires utmost rider confidence.

In typical DUKE fashion, a stiff trellis frame and a new closed-lattice swingarm come together to welcome high-quality adjustable WP APEX Suspension components. These, together with track-proven Bridgestone S22 tyres, provide SNIPER-like accuracy when it comes to cornering stability.

The WP APEX Suspension fitted to the KTM 990 DUKE features easy-to-adjust settings, encouraging the rider to push the limits comfortably. Upfront, the 43 mm WP APEX Suspension can be easily and accurately dialed in with 5 clicks on both rebound and compression. On the rear, the WP APEX Monotube shock absorber can be adjusted in 5-clicks, with manual preload adjustment also possible.

Once seated, riders are greeted by a 5-inch, anti-scratch bonded glass dashboard providing all the information a KTM 990 DUKE pilot could need. Revised graphics and menu structures are designed for faster, more intuitive access to the various features of the KTM 990 DUKE. This includes a new function that displays Lean Angle data, with an optional TRACK Mode complete with lap timer and telemetry stats. A USB-C connection is also added for device charging duties.

In short, the brief was simple; develop the ultimate mid-class NAKED machine. In achieving this, the 2024 KTM 990 DUKE hits the mark dead centre.

A full range of specially developed KTM PowerParts and KTM PowerWear are available for riders to personalise their motorcycles and get themselves kitted up in READY TO RACE performance.

The 2024 KTM 990 DUKE will be available from February 2024 onwards, for £12,999 OTR.

THE 2024 KTM 390 ADVENTURE BRINGS NEW COLOURWAYS ALONG FOR THE RIDE

KTM STEPS UP ITS MINI-CROSS OFFERING

2024 KTM SX ‘Minis’ hit the track with a completely fresh approach in the development of READY TO RACE motocross machines aimed at grassroots racing.

Using scientific data, the 2024 KTM 50 SX has been developed to be as erganomically close to a scaled-down version of a full-size KTM SX machine as possible, with careful consideration given to young riders and body proportions compared to adults. This has been considered in the design and development phases of the 2024 KTM 50 SX as well as all of its components.

Likewise for the first time, the development of the 2024 KTM 65 SX was done in close collaboration with a number of international test riders, who have been successfully racing and testing the different development stages over the last two years. This has resulted in a brace of mini-crossers that not only look like miniature READY TO RACE motocross machines but also share a superior level of quality and attention to detail.

With top-level handling and performance being a critical and essential part of mini-cross, both the 2024 KTM 50 SX and 2024 KTM 65 SX are built around a new, advanced steel frame with a lightweight polyamide glass fibre reinforced steel 2-piece subframe.

This has allowed for a revolutionary change to mini-cross, in that the new frame allows for multi-adjustability to cater for different rider heights. Suspension, handlebar position, bodywork and subframe are now height adjustable to match the growing needs of young riders. Seat height is adjustable between 634 mm to 683 mm for the 2024 KTM 50 SX and 730 mm to 760 mm for the 2024 KTM 65 SX.

Regarding suspension updates, both mini-crossers feature the latest in suspension technology, with a 35 mm USD WP XACT AER fork taking charge at the front. On the rear, an all-new fully adjustable WP XACT monoshock is fitted for perfect balance and damping characteristics, with both models benefiting from revised fitment and geometry.

For model year 2024, the KTM 50 SX FACTORY EDITION will also find its way onto the track, boasting a brace of top-shelf high-performance components over and above the standard 2024 KTM 50 SX spec sheet.

Staying true to its name, the 2024 KTM 50 SX FACTORY EDITION is wrapped in a Red Bull KTM Factory Racing inspired graphics kit, with an orange, high grip diamante KTM FACTORY SEAT. Performance is also upped thanks to a full FMF exhaust system and Iridium BRISK FE-specific spark plug, making it the ideal choice for young up-and-coming champions.

The 2024 KTM Sportminicycle range is the perfect representation of KTM’s dedication to mini-cross, with the same amount of energy and attention to detail and created by the same passionate team in Austria who are also in charge of the race-proven full-size models.

The 2024 KTM Sportminicycle range is available to order now from Authorised KTM Dealers, with the first units due to land in UK showrooms from December 2023. Individual model retail prices as below.
KTM 50 SX 2024 – £3,999

ENDURO PRO MODELS

HUSQVARNA MOTORCYCLES LAUNCH INNOVATIVE AND RACE-DEVELOPED TE 300 PRO AND FE 350 PRO

Husqvarna Motorcycles is pleased to announce its 2024 TE and FE Pro enduro line-up, the 2-stroke TE 300 and 4-stroke FE 350. These latest offerings have been designed from the ground up to give experienced and ambitious enduro riders the performance edge they need to excel at the highest levels of competition.

All-new for 2024 and based on a revolutionary enduro platform, both the FE 350 Pro and TE 300 Pro are expertly crafted with new frames, subframes, bodywork, suspension and brakes, plus a host of engine refinements. Each of the Pro models shares an extensive list of innovations. The new enduro platform focuses on continued improvements to overall rideability, delivering outstanding performance. Riders will immediately appreciate and benefit from the technical changes made to both machines.

Technical sections can be conquered in complete confidence and control thanks to predictable damping from new, enduro-specific WP suspension. A WP XACT Closed Cartridge fork incorporates a mid-valve piston for smooth action and consistent performance, while a hydrostop in the final 68 mm of travel helps maintain momentum. A redesigned WP XACT shock features a new piston for a more compliant action and is 100 g lighter and 15 mm shorter while retaining 300 mm of travel. Both fork and shock settings can be adjusted by hand for quick, easy personalised set-up. 

Striking restyled bodywork adorned with modern, Swedish-inspired graphics and a new high-grip seat cover complement the revised chassis. An improved ergonomic rider triangle offers greater knee contact for better control. The slimline bodywork also affords complete freedom of movement when riding standing up while a redesigned LED headlight produces greater illumination and is fitted using a more efficient and user-friendly mounting system. 

Based on the all-new 2024 enduro range, the TE 300 Pro engine is fuelled by Throttle Body Injection (TBI) technology. Developed to sustain the best-in-class performance of these lightweight 2-stroke machines, TBI gives more consistent and controllable power throughout the rev range, even in the toughest conditions. 

Engine innovation is also a hallmark of the FE 350 Pro, powered by a new and much more compact DOHC unit. This is tilted back in the frame by two degrees compared to previous models, further centralising mass and contributing to improved anti-squat chassis characteristics. Additionally, all major engine components are positioned as centrally as possible to improve handling and generate maximum torque and power. 

Both models raise the enduro riding experience to new levels thanks to advanced electronics. The Engine Management System (EMS) allows each machine to offer two pre-set riding maps to suit varying terrain, with each gear matched to tailored power delivery. The 4-stroke model offers additional rider aids including Traction Control and a Quickshifter for positive upshifts, even under heavy load. 

The TE 300 Pro and FE 350 Pro showcase Husqvarna Motorcycles’ progressive approach with premium components shared across both models. These include a new LED headlight, Brembo hydraulic clutch and brake systems with high performance GALFER discs, a combined Start/Stop button, a new Factory Racing wheel-set with high-strength EXCEL Takasago rims, ProTaper handlebars and Michelin enduro tyres. A host of premier features that place the Pro models at the top of their class.

GASGAS UNVEILS TRIALS LINE-UP FOR 2024

ALL SIX MODELS AVAILABLE TO ORDER FROM SEPTEMBER

One year on from launching the best GASGAS trials bikes ever made, GASGAS is heading full steam into 2024 with an updated line-up, based on the already proven model range. Each of the two TXT GP models have received some tasty upgrades while our four tried, tested and much-loved TXT RACING bikes remain every bit as awesome and super fun to ride. 

GASGAS unveils its awesome 2024 six bike trials line-up 
Rideability and performance of the TXT GP bikes taken to new levels
All six models available from official GASGAS dealers worldwide from September

It only seems like yesterday that GASGAS unveiled the latest and greatest generation of trials bikes. But now, 12 months on, and the best just got better. The bold, modern, and instantly recognisable 2024 bikes are here, with their distinctive red livery. Beyond their easy-on-the-eye appearance, these 2-strokes are the real deal. GASGAS knows that trials riders worldwide absolutely love the unmatched rideability of each bike, which is a result of their agile handling and compact, powerful motors.

For 2024, performance has certainly been spiced up on the TXT GP 250 and TXT GP 300 models. The first thing that draws attention, both visually and while riding, is the Akrapovic exhaust pipe. Made from high-grade titanium, the header pipe is not only 350 grams lighter, but between 2,000rpm and 7,000rpm, there’s a noticeable boost to power, which makes scaling the biggest obstacles even easier than before.

Handling wise, the TXT GP models retain the fully adjustable Tech3 shock that now features a 25% larger reservoir for increased oil capacity. The reason for this revision is simple – less heat builds up which makes damping much more consistent and predictable, even through the gnarliest of technical sections.

Rounding off the exciting changes to both TXT GP bikes are the new, FIM-approved brake discs front and rear, a new gear lever – designed with a shorter tip that’s better at preventing mud from building up, as well as fresh new graphics taken straight from the GASGAS Factory Racing bikes.

Offering next-level rideability, the GASGAS TXT RACING models deliver unrivaled performance and with four popular engine sizes – 125cc, 250cc, 280cc and 300cc – the 2024 range really does offer something for everyone! Each of these models, as well as the TXT GP range, are assembled inside the state-of-the-art GASGAS production facility in Terrassa, Spain, and fitted with quality components throughout. The hottest around when it comes to high-performance trial bikes, the 2024 GASGAS TXT RACING range lets trial riders of all ages and abilities do their thing with serious style.
