About GASGAS Motorcycles GmbH

GASGAS Motorcycles GmbH, headquartered in Mattighofen, Upper Austria, develops and distributes offroad motorcycles for trial, enduro and motocross as well as road models. The brand was founded in 1985 in Salt, Girona (Catalonia, Spain) by Narcìs Casas and Josep Pibernat after the Bultaco factory closed, and initially focused on trial motorcycles. After financial difficulties and insolvency in 2015, KTM (part of Bajaj Auto) acquired a significant stake in GasGas in 2019. Since 2020 the company has operated as GASGAS Motorcycles GmbH in Mattighofen, while Rieju took over the former offroad platform. The portfolio includes models such as the EC enduro series, the MC motocross series, the TXT trial machines as well as the road models ES 700 and SM 700 with steel trellis frames and aluminium die-cast swingarms. In addition, the company offers technical accessories, apparel, spare parts service, a motorcycle rental and race service, and is active with riders and teams in trial, enduro, motocross and road racing series. The motorcycles are exported to Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, South America, South Africa and the USA.
