2024 GASGAS ES 500

2024 GASGAS ES 500Street legal big boyNew for 2024, the ES 500 is a serious motorcycle! Big on power, big on fun, it's also big on guaranteeing good times. Make no mistake, this large capacity, single cylinder dual-sport bike is built for big-bore fun on both the roads and the trails. While the half-liter hero might sound like a real powerhouse, modern technology, along with an agile chassis and supple WP suspension, make the ES 500 a super-nimble 500cc dirt bike.Features may include:STYLEBODYWORKAll red and all-new! Fully redesigned from front to back, the sleek bodywork is incredibly ergonomic with larger contact surfaces and an improved rider triangle further enhancing control. The rad shrouds are shaped to help better grip the bike as you get on the gas. There's also a super grippy seat cover keeping you sat exactly where you need to be.HANDLINGFRAMEA new generation enduro bike is nothing without a new frame, right? Playful handling continues for 2024 as the best traits from the old frame - the razor-sharp cornering and confidence-inspiring straight line stability - are retained. But somehow, our engineering wizards have made this bike handle even better! They've done this by improving the anti-squat behavior for maximum traction when exiting corners and throughout the frame, the wall thickness has been revised in certain areas to enhance rider feedback and energy absorption. The frame is finished with a durable red powder coating and guards to prevent wear, which also offer a little extra grip for your boots too.MOTORMOTORIt might be our biggest capacity and most powerful enduro bike ever, but make no mistake, the ES 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!PARTSBRAKTEC BRAKESFast 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.ELECTRONICSENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - EMSSmall, light, and fast at processing data! The Engine Management System is constantly measuring, calculating, and optimizing how the motor is running and adjusts accordingly, which means you can focus on the trail ahead. After all, that's what enduro is all about, right? 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!
