Bring the Heat! The All-New GasGas ECC E-MTB is Here to Change the E-Enduro Game 12

From the UCI MTB World Cup special stages to the dealer floors… excitement levels are through the roof at GASGAS as we can finally unveil our unique, new, from-the-ground-up, performance-focused ECC machine. Engineered by KISKA on behalf of GASGAS, then ridden, raced, and developed on the toughest trails in the UCI E-Enduro World Cup, the ECC is our new generation of eMTB that’s here to change the game.

• Take a closer look… the all-new GASGAS ECC is here
• The ECC uses the revolutionary SRAM Eagle Powertrain Drive Unit
• The cutting-edge DVO powered by WP suspension platform is a first for mountain biking

Already delivering podium-proven performance thanks to the success of our UCI E-Enduro race teams, the ECC sets a new benchmark for eMTB. A full-carbon frame, complete with size-specific rear triangle, delivers a ride feel like no other. Race-oriented, with cutting-edge motor and suspension technology by SRAM and DVO powered by WP, the ECC is here to change the game. And we just know you’re gonna love it!

Starting from scratch

The ECC is a 100% thoroughbred GASGAS. From the drawing board to the finished model, every aspect, detail, and concept has been carefully thought out, then tested, tested some more, and certified with a no-nonsense approach. The end result is an all-new carbon frame that’s capable of dominating the gnarliest Enduro trails you can find.

Rigorous testing with our race teams in the UCI E-Enduro World Cup has resulted in a chassis with 160mm travel that’s made for speed at the highest level. Featuring all the geometry numbers you now expect from a modern Enduro bike, we’ve taken sizing one step further by adding a size-specific rear triangle. This delivers a much more tailored ride feel whether you’re riding a S/M, M/L or L/XL frame.

Inspired by our moto-heritage, the optional armor is not just a design feature, but is functional too. The lightweight plastics kit and skid plate offers additional protection from scratching and high-speed impacts. With room for customization, you can stamp your own identity on the bike.

Go For The Better Ride With SRAM

At the heart of the GASGAS ECC beats the all-new powerhouse that is the SRAM Eagle Powertrain Drive Unit. Engineered with a reimagined power delivery program to replicate a far more natural pedaling experience, the SRAM Eagle Powertrain is a completely holistic eMTB system.

Key features include a unique software program developed by SRAM, up to 90Nm of torque with 680W peak power, plus two support levels - range and rally - and additional auto and coast shifting capabilities. Super quiet, it’s also best in class at limiting power losses during super-hard riding.

The approach to developing the new system took learnings from short-comings in other applications, such as common power losses from super-hard riding, and gave SRAM the opportunity to go further by utilizing things such as heat-resistant materials that provide superior thermal performance and enable longer power delivery.

The SRAM Eagle Powertrain 600Wh battery packs some serious range thanks to the advanced motor and drivetrain capabilities that it supports. The holistic eMTB system simply uses less energy consumption, meaning you can go further with less battery capacity. But, if you’ve still got range anxiety, the aftermarket 250Wh range extender will put you at ease.

DVO Powered By WP

WP has entered the trail! The ECC 6 and ECC 5 both feature a new player in mountain bike suspension. DVO powered by WP is a unique collaboration between two established entities from different backgrounds of MTB and moto. Combining WP’s moto-proven cone valve technology with DVO’s trusted hardware has created a safer, more desirable, and confident ride feel.

The cone valve damper inside the 170mm travel, 38mm fork and coil shock functions like a blow-off valve that allows you to ride higher in the stroke thanks to the added damping generated. This avoids harsh impacts that occur from excessive bottoming out and reduces rider fatigue and hand numbness on long descents and the washboard chatter of braking bumps.

The ECC is available in three different models - ECC 6, ECC 5 and ECC 4. All three share the same carbon frame, geometry, and kinematics, plus 29” wheel sizing. The tuned SRAM Eagle Powertrain Drive Unit with 600Wh battery is fitted on all ECC models. The ECC 6 and ECC 5 use the DVO powered by WP suspension and the ECC 4 is paired with RockShox suspension.

FAQ

What is the new GASGAS ECC?

The new GASGAS ECC is here to change the game for E-Enduro. It’s a no bullshit, performance-fo- cused, state-of-the-art eMTB. Built to go fast, the ECC is 100% fun.

Is this a shared platform?

Heck, no! It’s GASGAS only, through and through.

How many ECC options are there?

Three. That’s the magic number! We’ve got the ECC 6, ECC 5, and ECC 4. All three models share identical carbon frames, kinematics, geometry, and the new SRAM Eagle Powertrain motor and bat- tery, but differ slightly in build spec. The ECC 6 is the flagship bike, it’s got all the bells and whistles imaginable and then spec is adjusted to suit the ECC 5 and ECC 4 pricing.

What do you mean ‘size-specific’ rear triangle?

When it comes to sizing of the ECC, we wanted to create a tailored feel. You shouldn’t have to adapt to a generic size, so each frame size also has a rear triangle that’s sized differently to suit.

Why did you go for a 600Wh battery?

The SRAM Eagle Powertrain 600Wh battery packs some serious range thanks to the advanced motor and drivetrain capabilities that it supports. The holistic eMTB system simply uses less energy consumption, meaning you can go farther with less battery capacity. But, if you’ve still got range anxiety, the aftermarket 250Wh range extender will put you at ease.

When will it be available?

Our GASGAS dealers will have the first deliveries of the ECC before the end of 2023, with worldwide availability in the first months of 2024. The new ECC will be available in North America in spring 2024.

What is the expected pricing?

We’re working on that detail as we speak and will have it ready at start of sales. Please check with your local dealer for the most up-to-date info.
