Downunder , but if there is demand surely there will be a business case for them to head our way . Designed for hard-core riders , the GasGas Enduro Cross and Trail Cross models are designed to be the pinnacle of their sport with the Enduro Cross a serious bit of downhill riding kit while the Trail Cross takes a broader , more adventurous approach . The electric motors and internal batteries helping to flatten out the steepest of climbs , its long-travel suspension , slack geometry and mixed wheel sizes ensure the rowdiest of trails can be confidently tamed . The full-suspension eMTB is built to tackle rides where climbing and descending is the name of the game – those super fun singletrack trails and exposed mountain-side tracks that put the
biggest smiles on riders ’ faces . Taking a less off-road approach the Cross Country and Dual Cross models offer the best of both on-and-off-road cycling . GasGas ’ entry point to eMTB , the Cross Country is designed to help riders build those singletrack skills and confidence while opening up a whole new world of cycling . The trekking-focused Dual Cross delivers the best of both road and mountain biking . A thoroughbred workhorse , GasGas says it takes work commutes and scenic bike rides in its stride . It ’ s exciting times , with the eMTB category viewed by many as an important step in the electrification of motorcycling , but surely calling the range PedalPedal is a missed opportunity by GasGas .
