The 2023 GasGas Motocross lineup is here, with only graphic changes compared to ’22. GasGas motocrossers are based on the KTM and Husqvarna MX platforms, as KTM AG owns all three brands, so there are more similarities than differences.
GasGas announced their 2023 GasGas Motocross and off-road model lineup today. The third brand in the KTM Group, GasGas is positioned as the fun and most affordable of the Husqvarna, KTM, and GasGas bunch.
It doesn’t look like a bunch of changes are taking place this year for the red brand, save for new graphics and all-red plastics. While KTM and Husqvarna are likely transitioning to a new platform in 2023 (think ’22 Factory Edition), it looks like GasGas might be a year (or two) behind that generation.
For those who still are confused about the three brands, we always say think of GM and their options of Cadillac, GMC, and Chevy.
Very similar thinking with the brands under the KTM umbrella – Husqvarna being the nicest and most expensive, KTM being the standard race-ready model, and GasGas holding it down in the affordability department. The official press release from GasGas can be found below.
GASGAS is coming in hot for 2023 with a vibrant new look! Receiving a very loud, and very red, makeover, the entire GASGAS motocross range mixes serious on-track performance with a fresh new look for continued weekend fun!
Super capable in the hands of weekend warriors, high-level racers, and everyone in between, each of our 2023 GasGas Motocross models remains incredibly easy to ride, allowing all riders to push their limits and have some serious fun!
Complete with the latest technology, WP suspension, and class-leading components, there’s never been a better time to get on the gas with one of our proven motocross bikes. Check out the GASGAS MX models this March with the mini bikes arriving shortly after in May!
