MOTOR

MOTOR

The 6-speed EX 300 features a high-performance offroad motor that in the hands of an expert racer can be used to power the bike up and across terrain few would imagine passable. The perfect bike for 2-stroke fun, it’s lightweight construction, twin-valve controlled power valve, true cross country specific transmission ratios and vibration reducing balancer shaft combine to give the much loved 2-stroke a competitive edge. Keeping life easy, our innovative fuel injection system does away with the need for time consuming jetting changes while also reducing fuel consumption and emissions.

OIL TANK & PUMP

There's no need for pre-mixing fuel with the super-convenient EX 300! Instead the bike features an electronic oil pump that feeds 2-stroke oil into the motor, keeping it lubricated via the throttle body. Using engine speed and throttle position sensor data, the engine management's precise electronic control of the oil pump ensures the perfect amount of oil for any given conditions, reducing exhaust smoke by up to 50 % compared with conventional pre-mix lubrication. The advanced lubrication system maintains an average fuel-to-oil ratio of 1:80, which means one tank full of oil is enough for at least five tanks of fuel. Result!

CYLINDER & PISTON

The 72mm bore EX 300 cylinder features a Twin-Valve Controlled (TVC) power valve system, which delivers smooth and controlled power throughout the RPM range. Optimal exhaust port timing is achieved with the combination of the state-of-the-art, adjustable power valve drive and a machined exhaust port window. Additionally, the cylinder features two inlet positions located on the transfer ports at the rear of the cylinder where a pair of fuel injectors are mounted. Deliver the fuel downwards into the transfer port these injectors guarantee perfect atomization with the air travelling upward to the combustion chamber. This ensures a more efficient combustion resulting in reduced fuel consumption and emissions. We match a lightweight piston to the EX 300 cylinder to ensure the highest levels of reliability and performance. It's as simple as that!

COUNTER BALANCER SHAFT

Reducing rider fatigue by significantly decreasing motor vibrations the EX 300 houses a laterally mounted counter balance shaft, which ensures fun, enjoyable days in the saddle.

TRANSMISSION

We use a forged 6-speed Pankl Racing Systems transmission that features specific cross country gearing in our EX 300, ensuring durability and reliability as well as ensuring riders can tackle high-speed fields and tight, technical woods. Additionally, an innovative shift lever reduces dirt build up guaranteeing easy operation in all conditions.

CRANKSHAFT

The EX 300 crankshaft features a 72mm stroke and is balanced in conjunction with the counter balancer shaft for minimum motor vibrations. By incorporating a heavier ignition rotor, the crankshaft produces more inertia for a smooth, cross country specific power delivery.

CRANKCASE

To us they are designed to centralize oscillating masses. All any rider needs to know is that our crankcases help make the EX 300 super-agile and easy to weave in and out of trees! Lightweight and die-cast, as well as being built to house internal shafts in the ideal position, they include a counter balancer shaft to keep the motor smooth. They're also seriously strong!

EXHAUST SYSTEM

ELECTRONICS

ELECTRONICS

ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - EMS

On the EX 300 the EMS features an electronic control unit (ECU) that is responsible for determining ignition timing and the amount of fuel & oil that is injected. Additionally, it receives information from the throttle position sensor, ambient air and intake pressure sensors as well as crankcase pressure and water temperature sensors and makes corrections for automatic temperature and altitude compensation. What that means in layman's terms is that riders don't need to make jetting changes!

THROTTLE BODY

Our 2-stroke cross country bike uses 39mm Dellorto throttle body , ensuring precision, smooth action and high-performance. On the EX 300 the 39mm throttle body regulates the amount of air entering the engine via a butterfly valve, which is operated by dual throttle cables connected to the handlebar throttle assembly.

ELECTRIC START AND LI-ION BATTERY

All GASGAS EX models are fitted with an E-starter, guaranteeing the one thing all cross country riders and racers want, super easy electric starting! A Li-Ion 2.0 Ah battery, which weighs approx. 1kg less than a conventional lead battery, ensures bikes conveniently fire into life each and every time while keeping overall weight down. No matter if riding conditions are super cold, or a bike has got super hot, all of our cross country models guarantee reliable starting.
