Delivering progressive and consistent damping no matter how rough the track, they feature a capsulated air spring and pressurized oil chamber together with other internal damping wizardry. The end result is outstanding rider comfort and front-end confidence.
• WP SHOCK: Traction is what it's all about and our fully adjustable WP XACT rear shock provides the advanced damping that inspires confidence and ignites fun. Designed to work harmoniously with both frame and swingarm to offer incredible energy absorption, the shock is also matched to a linkage system with a specific geometry that further aids traction. Rebound and high/low speed compression adjustment and 300mm of travel means GASGAS motocross bikes are ready to take on the roughest tracks.
• SWINGARM: Light, strong and featuring visible chain adjustment marks to make life at the track easier, our motocross swingarms are made using a gravity die-cast process to guarantee durability and precision.

Motor

• MOTOR: The performance our compact 250cc motor kicks out is nothing short of incredible. That's all thanks to clever manufacturing that allows thrilling power to be squeezed from the 25.9kg (57 lbs) power unit when revved at 14,000 rpm. As well as its awesome power, the compact design also improves the overall handling of the bike
• CYLINDER HEAD AND BALANCER SHAFT: The MC 250F loves to be revved, which is all possible thanks to the DOHC cylinder head that features large titanium valves and finger followers with a tough Diamond Like Carbon (DLC). The result is minimal friction and optimal performance. The carefully designed combustion chamber produces efficient, high-level power across the entire rev range with the motor also fitted with a multifunctional balancer shaft, which drives the coolant pump and the timing chain.
• CYLINDER & PISTON: Performing an important role in delivering the lively performance that makes the MC 250F so much fun to ride, both the cylinder and piston are professionally engineered from high strength aluminum. Guaranteeing outstanding performance and reliability the 78mm bore houses a rigid, forged bridged-box-type piston made by CP.
• TRANSMISSION: The right gear, every time. With a low-friction coating on the internal shifting fork, all 5 gear changes on the MC 250F are smooth and purposeful. Light and durable, and featuring motocross specific ratios, the 5-speed transmission itself ensures all power is transferred to the rear wheel, exactly when it’s needed.
• CRANKSHAFT: Up and down, round and round... life's tough being a 250F crankshaft. Good job that the spinning heart of the MC 250F motor is designed to offer durability and the best possible performance. Carefully located within the motor it also helps centralize oscillating masses for super easy handling.
• CRANKCASE: The protective housing that keeps all internal components safe and secure! Holding all internal parts in the perfect positions to achieve the ideal center of gravity, the high-pressure casting process ensures strength and thin wall thickness for minimal weight.
• EXHAUST SYSTEM: Our exhaust systems are key to the power delivery of all GASGAS motocross bikes. Developed to be slim using an innovative 3D process, they comply with FIM sound regulations, look great and most importantly deliver the very best performance.The MC 250F features two-part exhaust systems that are expertly designed to deliver awesome performance at the lowest possible weight. They can also be removed without needing to take out the rear shock! Further innovation allows for a short, compact silencer that keeps sound levels down and looks up.
• DDS CLUTCH: The MC 250F features a Diaphragm Steel (DS) clutch, which is robust, super reliable and contributes to the compact design of the engine. Featuring a single diaphragm steel pressure plate instead of traditional coil springs, it also has a clutch basket CNC machined from a single piece of steel for incredible durability.

• HANDLEBARS, GRIPS & THROTTLE ASSEMBLY: Hold on, it's important! We fit all GASGAS motocross bikes with quality Neken tapered handlebars, guaranteeing comfort and control thanks to optimal pressure points on rider's hands. The left side ODI grip doesn't require gluing, while on the right, the vulcanized grip features an innovative integrated throttle mechanism. With easy to adjust free-play, by changing a cam, the progression of the throttle can also be altered.
• FUEL TANK: We like to keep our fuel tanks simple and robust, that's why we opted for a threaded filler cap that provides a tight and reliable seal and positioned the external fuel line to make sure it's less exposed and susceptible to damage. The black 7-liter (1.85 gal) lightweight polythene fuel tanks feature direct internal line routing from the pump to the flange, for optimal fuel flow.
