It is slim, light and minimalist – the ideal enduro for a tough rally? Apparently robust and sportily built, our expectations of the GasGas were extremely high. However, the 6 days of off-road riding demanded a lot from the bike and also revealed one or two weaknesses. All our experiences with the GasGas ES 700 in this video. Our vehicle was also upgraded with some fine parts, such as the BikesPeak Rally Tower, crash bars from Outback Motortek and the compact luggage rack to transport our equipment. Incidentally, we were all on the road with Conti TKC 80 tires on our tour!
