Daniel Sanders ready to hit Morocco

October 8, 2021 mcnews Leave a comment

Daniel Sanders in Morocco

Daniel Sanders is fit and raring to go as the 2021 FIM Cross-Country Rallies World Championship heads to Morocco for the Rallye du Maroc. Covering over 2,600 km, the race is set to pose a real challenge to all riders with its mixture of fast tracks and rolling sand dunes.

Marking the penultimate round of this year’s FIM Cross-Country Rallies World Championship, the Rallye du Maroc is traditionally one of the last proper tests for teams and riders ahead of the Dakar Rally, held in January. Never having even visited the country before, let alone raced there, Daniel is looking forward to getting back to competition, especially at a desert location like Morocco.

Following his excellent fourth-place finish at the Silk Way Rally – a performance that earned him three stage wins from five stages – Sanders travelled to the United States where he spent the downtime working on his speed and bike fitness.

With the team joining him stateside in September, an intense month of road book training and work on bike set-up then followed. Now, feeling fast and comfortable on his GASGAS RC 450F, Chucky is excited to get back to racing.

Daniel Sanders

“It feels like it’s been a really long time since the last race, and with Silk Way not going the full distance due to the pandemic situation, that was a bit of a strange one too. Even though it was shortened, I had a good time in Russia – it was great to get some stage wins and it showed I definitely have the speed to mix it up front. After that, I flew to America and have been doing a lot of motocross training to maintain my fitness on the bike and keep that intensity you need. After the team arrived in the States, we did a lot of testing over there – plenty of road book training and working to improve the bike. I’m really looking forward to Morocco now, it’s a bit crazy not having so many races, but I’m definitely up for this next one. Hopefully the race should suit me, I’ve never been there before, but I hear it’s always a good race, with a good variety of terrain. I can’t wait to get started.”

Totaling six days, the Rallye du Maroc will ease riders into things with a short Prologue stage on Friday, October 8. The short 10 km sprint will decide the start order for Saturday’s 441 km stage one, that in turn will be followed by a further four stages, all set out in loops from the main bivouac in Zagora. When riders reach the finish on Wednesday, October 13, they will have covered a total of 2,656 km, and raced 1,633 km against the clock. The mixture of fast tracks and dunes should suit Daniel’s skills perfectly, and the young Aussie is definitely keen to get started!

KTM Group almost double their sales in first half of 2021

September 1, 2021 mcnews Leave a comment

Record breaking first half of 2021 for Pierer Mobility

Pierer Mobility Group has announced record breaking gains in the first half of 2021, with group revenue breaking the €1.078 billion mark, in comparison to 600 million in 2020, representing an 80 per cent increase.

That also represents an operating result of €102.6 million, compared to just €1.7 million in 2020, with motorcycle sales increasing to a total of 176,045 from the KTM, Husqvarna, GasGas and Bajaj brands, or almost double the same period in 2020.

Pierer Group boasting record sales in early 2021

The bicycle and e-bike divisions likewise saw strong growth, up 25 per cent, to 53,378 units sold, with the majority being e-bikes under the R Raymon, GasGas and Husqvarna brands.

That marks a total of 215,646 motorcycle and e-bikes, up 73 per cent compared to the previous year, despite the ongoing challenges of Covid, and it’s impact on production and distribution.

In Australia KTM recorded a 64.3 per cent improvement in road sales but dirtbike sales fell by 10.9 per cent ahead of the arrival of the 2022 models, which made the overall lift in sales only 7.1 per cent when both sectors were combined.

That trend was also reflected by Husqvarna with the sister brand increasing their road sales by 40.6 per cent, off what was an admittedly low base, while dirtbike sales dropped by 23.8 per cent.

Those figures were offset by 570 sales for GASGAS after the brand was reintroduced to Australia, which compares to 2974 off-road sales for KTM and 1163 off-road sales for Husqvarna.

If taking both off and on-road sales into account across the three brands just under 6800 sales were recorded over the first half of 2021 in Australia. This equates to around 4.2 per cent of the global motorcycle sales volume for the group.

The strongest improving markets have proven to be in Latin America, with a 62 per cent increase in Colombia, 43 per cent in Brazil and 31 per cent in Argentina, with growth of 25 per cent in Europe, on the back of strong demand for motorcycles.

The strongest European nations were Italy, Spain and France, boasting 53, 41 and 28 per cent increases respectively, with market share in Europe reaching over 11 per cent. Market share in the US between the Pierer brands also now sits at 11.3 per cent, and reaches 18.9 per cent in the Oceania region.

In India Pierer saw an increase of 59 per cent in the S2 and S3 segment, with KTM and Husqvarna reaching a market share of 6.9 per cent

Employment figures were also strong, reaching 4,888, an increase of 559 from the first half of 2020, with 80 new apprentices beginning training this year, with 200 in total in training.

Pierer Mobility also entered into a joint venture with Maxcom, in e-bike manufacturing in Plovdiv in Bulgaria, investing €40 million, with a planned capacity of 350,000 units, with commissioning due to commend in the second half of 2023.

With strong growth continuing, Pierer has also revised their revenue for the 2021 fiscal year, raising the guidance to €1.9-2.0 billion, up €50 million on previous predictions.

In Europe, in this period of time, 73,224 motorcycles were sold (+76% over the same period of the previous year).

Daniel Sanders to spearhead GASGAS Dakar assault

June 2, 2021 mcnews Leave a comment

Sanders to chase Rally glory with GASGAS

GASGAS have announced that Daniel Sanders will chase rally glory in 2021, starting with the upcoming Rally Kazakhstan, as an official GASGAS Factory backed entrant.

Undoubtedly one of the hottest prospects in rally racing, Sanders will compete in the FIM Cross-Country Rallies World Championship before taking on the big one, the Dakar Rally next January.

More than capable of putting himself and our RC 450F rally bike at the top of the timing sheets, the young Aussie is hugely excited to be racing for GASGAS Factory Racing in 2021.

Daniel Sanders – GASGAS Factory Racing

“Being the face of GASGAS in rally is really cool. I’ve not been in rally that long so to be picked up and put on a factory team this early in my career is awesome. I’m so looking forward to racing this year as part of this team. It’s been such a long time since the Dakar and with the world championship coming up really soon, I just can’t wait to be competing again. I’m excited for the future, the opportunity that I have, and it’s going to be a great year of racing. Let’s go!”

As a former ISDE winner, Sanders clearly has the skills needed to compete at the highest level on two wheels, something he made perfectly clear at the 2021 Dakar. Rocketing to a seriously impressive fourth overall and finishing as best rookie, make no mistake, Daniel has arrived on the rally scene, and we can’t wait to see what he can do in 2021 and beyond.

Pit Beirer – GASGAS Motorsport Director

“It’s a huge moment for GASGAS to welcome Daniel to the team. I believe we’ve signed the best young talent in rally at the moment, and it really shows a clear statement that the brand is ready to challenge the established stars and grow its presence even further in rally. It’s really exciting for GASGAS to have a rider that’s so full of energy and after such a bright start to his rally career, the upcoming season is shaping up to be really good for him and for GASGAS Motorcycles.”

With Sanders recently completing his final preparations ahead of the 2021 FIM Cross-Country Rallies World Championship, the 26-year-old is now just days away from making his GASGAS debut, at Rally Kazakhstan. Following the six-round series, which concludes in November, it’s then onto the big one – the Dakar Rally – in January 2022.

Jordi Viladoms – GASGAS Rally Team Manager

“It’s great to have such a talented, young rider racing for GASGAS this season. Daniel is very new to rally and very inexperienced compared to his rivals, but he has picked it up really quickly. He is a very quick learner as we saw at the Dakar earlier this year. Placing fourth in your first Dakar does not come from luck, it comes from hard work, preparation, and ability to overcome all the challenges that only the Dakar can provide. Daniel is fast, motivated and very capable so we expect to see him battling for success in this year’s FIM Cross-Country Rallies World Championship and then it’s onto the Dakar next year.”

Initially finding success in the former 125cc category, where they won four world championships between 2006 and 2011 thanks to the efforts of four different riders, the team then participated in Moto3, Moto2 and MotoGP categories before settling on Moto2, Moto3 and MotoE from 2019 onwards. During the 2020 season, the Aspar team has forged a successful campaign with Albert Arenas. Enjoying victory at the season-opening event in Qatar, he has since claimed three Grand Prix wins and five podiums and has sat at the top of the series standings during almost the entire season.

2021 GasGas Enduro Range undercuts KTM/Husky on price

September 23, 2020 mcnews Leave a comment

2021 GasGas Enduro Range

GasGas revealed their Enduro range for 2021 overnight and the machines are priced more competitively than their Husqvarna and KTM siblings.

2021 GasGas EC 250 and EC 250F (pictured) are priced at $12,940 +ORC. A considerable saving over their KTM/Husky siblings.

Comparing the 300 cc two-strokes between the three brands sees GasGas undercut the comparable KTM by $1115 and the TE300 Husqvarna by a hefty $1720. The lowest entry point is the 250 two-stroke at $12,940, undercutting the KTM 250 EXC by $915 and the TE250 Husqvarna by $1520.

On the four-stroke side of the ledger GasGas only offers 250 and 350 cc models, the bigger 450 and 500 models are only offered by KTM and Husky. The 250 four-stroke Gas Gas undercuts the KTM 250 EXC-F by $915 and the FE250 Husqvarna by $1520. The pricing disparity grows in the 350 with the GasGas $1115 cheaper than the KTM 350 EXC-F and $1720 cheaper than the FE350 Husqvarna.

Like the other brands in the stable the Enduro machines will be available with full registration which generally adds around $1300 to the price for stamp duty and licencing.

GasGas is using Braktec braking and hydraulic clutch set-ups. This is a European brand also knows as J.Juan that is now firmly established as an OEM supplier of performance braking systems and they are widely used on the Moto2 grid. Husqvarna use Magura while KTM use Brembo.

GasGas appear to be using identical WP suspension as Husqvarna with the XPLOR 48 fork and XACT shock working via linkage although of course due to KTM using PDS rear suspension the shock on the orange bikes is different.

The GasGas Enduro machines do appear to miss out on the traction control and selectable mapping that is offered on the KTM and Husqvarna range.

A new Australian dealership network is to be announced in the coming weeks and the 2021 Enduro range is due to go on sale in Australia this December. Gas Gas will also offer a 125 cc two-stroke machine in their Motocross line-up along with two four-stroke MX models, the MC 250F and MC 450F. A range of Mini motocrossers will also be available with the battery powered MC-E5 offered alongside the two-stroke MC50, MC 65 and MC 85.

2021 GasGas Two-Stroke Enduro Price List

2021 GasGas EC 250 – $12,940
2021 GasGas EC 300 – $14,155

2021 GasGas Four-Stroke Enduro Price List

2021 GasGas EC 250F – $12,940
2021 GasGas EC 350F – $13,750

It now seems clear where the group is aiming to take GasGas after it took ownership of the Spanish brand late last year. In the 2021 model release documentation is the following statement, “We consider GasGas to be the enabler brand within the group, allowing more riders to easily access the fun of riding offroad. With products that are inviting and inclusive, we want everyone to get in on the action!”

2021 GasGas EC 350F – The DOHC 350cc motor shares much of its architecture with the EC 250F engine but provides a significant increase in power and torque. It tips the scales at just 28kg.

They then expand further by announcing the following four ‘Brand Values’.

GasGas Brand Values

DARING

BEHAVIOR: The courage and enthusiasm to face whatever comes your way

VIBRANT

STYLE: Distinct, loud, unmistakeable, and energetic – it is bursting with energy and excitement

CAPABLE

GROUP ROLE: Many years of proven high-performance expertise, harnessed for your enjoyment

INVITING

PACKAGE: High-performance that’s packaged to allow more riders to join in on the action

2021 GasGas Enduro

FRAME AND SUBFRAME

All GasGas Enduro frames are built using lightweight, laser-cut chromium molybdenum steel, which is robot welded for complete accuracy and strength and incorporates specifically engineered flex, proven geometry, and playful handling. GasGas frames are finished in a durable, red powder coating.

SWINGARM

The hollow cast aluminum swingarms fitted to all GasGas Enduro bikes provide exceptional strength at the lowest possible weight.

FORGED TRIPLE CLAMPS

22 mm offset forged triple clamps offer three-way handlebar adjustment, which ensures riders of all sizes can accurately set the handlebars to best suit their needs.

WP XPLOR FRONT FORKS

WP XPLOR USD 48 mm forks feature a split fork design with compression damping on the left and rebound on the right. They also provide progressive damping and simple and fast clicker adjustments with a calibrated mid-valve piston.

WP XACT REAR SHOCK

Matched to the linkage system fitted to all GasGas Enduro bikes, the WP XACT rear shock delivers 300 mm of rear wheel travel. Full rebound and high/low-speed compression adjustability.

2021 GasGas Enduro Features and Benefits

AIRBOX AND TOOL-LESS AIR FILTER ACCESS

A straightforward no-tools-needed filter mounting system features on all GasGas Enduro bikes. Air filter removal and changing takes only minutes. Designed with precisely positioned inlet ducts that ensure maximum airflow and protection of the Twin Air filter.

BRAKTEC BRAKES

GasGas uses Braktec braking systems on all Enduro bikes. The front brake features an 11 mm piston within the master cylinder and 2×25 mm pistons in the caliper, together with a waved 260 mm front disc. The rear brake has a 12.7 mm master cylinder piston and a 1×25 mm piston caliper and uses a 220 mm rear brake disc. Braktec is also known as J Juan which is a European brake manufacturer that has established itself very well as an OEM supplier and is widely used on the Moto2 race grid.

2021 GasGas EC 300 – Two-stroke models feature an electronic oil pump that feeds two-stroke oil into the motor, keeping it lubricated via the throttle body. Using engine speed and throttle position sensor data, the engine management’s precise electronic control of the oil pump ensures the perfect amount of oil for any given conditions, reducing exhaust smoke by up to 50 per cent compared with conventional pre-mix lubrication. The advanced lubrication system maintains an average fuel-to-oil ratio of 80:1, which means one tank full of oil is enough for at least five tanks of fuel.

NEKEN HANDLEBAR, GRIPS AND THROTTLE ASSEMBLY

Neken tapered handlebars on all GasGas Enduro bikes. With a left side ODI grip that doesn’t require gluing, on the throttle side there is a vulcanized grip that 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

All GasGas Enduro bikes feature 8.5-litre fuel tanks made from transparent polythene that allows riders to easily see how much fuel is inside the tank, a bayonet style filler cap provides a tight, reliable seal. With a specific routing keeping the external fuel line safe, all bikes are fitted with a fuel level sensor.

2021 GasGas EC 300 – The EC 300 cylinder is super-efficient and features two inlet positions on the transfer ports at the rear of the cylinder. Here, two fuel injectors deliver fuel downwards into the transfer port guaranteeing perfect atomization before the air then travels upward to the combustion chamber. This reduces fuel consumption and emissions. The 72mm cylinder also features a Twin-Valve Controlled (TVC) power valve system, which delivers smooth and controlled power throughout the RPM range. Optimal exhaust port timing is achieved with the combination of the state-of-the-art, adjustable power valve drive and a machined exhaust port window.

BRAKTEC HYDRAULIC CLUTCH

The EC model range has a super light clutch action with a Damped Diaphragm Steel (DDS) clutch and Braktec hydraulic system to create a clutch that has a light and consistent action and is almost maintenance free. With a single diaphragm spring instead of the more common coil spring, the design also incorporates a damping system, which increases both traction and durability. These bikes are also fitted with a Braktec hydraulic clutch system that provides even wear, near maintenance-free operation and perfect action in all conditions. It’s also extremely light. Free play is constantly adjusted to ensure a biting point and action that never changes.

WHEELS AND TYRES

CNC machined hubs use lightweight spokes and silver anodized aluminum nipples. Maxxis Maxx Enduro medium tyres are fitted.

2021 GasGas EC 300 engine – A heavier ignition rotor in the EC 300 compared to the MX models produces more inertia for a smooth, Enduro specific power delivery. The crankshaft, which has a 72mm stroke, is balanced in conjunction with the counter balancer shaft for minimum motor vibrations.

BODYWORK

Red plastics reflect the Spanish personality of GasGas while straightforward graphics proudly say GasGas! An ergonomically designed flat seat profile combines with a high grip seat cover.

TRANSMISSION

GasGas use a forged 6-speed Pankl Racing Systems transmission across the EC Enduro range. An innovative shift lever reduces dirt build up for easy operation in all conditions.

ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (EMS)

Four-strokes use the Keihin EMS system controls everything to do with the electronic fuel injection system as well as featuring a gear sensor, that tailors power delivery for each gear. On two-strokes the EMS features an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) that is responsible for a number of functions.

2021 GasGas EC 250F engine – The EC 250F motor is designed to house the motor’s internal shaft arrangements at the ideal center of gravity to improve overall handling. The casings, manufactured using a high-pressure die-cast production process, integrate the oil supply to the main bearing and ensure minimal weight while retaining exceptional reliability and strength.

ELECTRIC START, LI-ION BATTERY AND WIRING HARNESS

An electric starter is fitted to all Enduro bikes powered by a Li-Ion battery.

INTEGRATED COOLING SYSTEM AND RADIATORS

All GasGas Enduro bikes feature an integrated cooling system with slim radiators for class-leading ergonomics.

EXHAUST SYSTEM

Exhausts are designed and built to meet FIM sound regulations. Two-stroke header pipes are super strong and offer optimal geometry, performance and ground clearance, making them less susceptible to damage. The two-stroke mufflers also feature an advanced internal construction for excellent noise damping and weight saving.

The four-stroke exhaust systems are expertly designed to deliver the very best performance at the lowest possible weight while a joining position allows it to be removed without having to take out the rear shock. Further innovation allows for a short, compact silencer that doesn’t increase noise levels. The muffler shell is crafted from lightweight aluminum.

THROTTLE BODY

GasGas use two different sized throttle bodies on their Enduro bikes – a 42 mm Keihin unit four-strokes and a 39mm Dell’Orto throttle body on two-strokes. On the EC 250F and EC 350F immediate throttle response is provided due to the throttle cable being mounted directly, without a throttle linkage and the injector is positioned to ensure the most efficient flow into the combustion chamber. Things are a little more involved on the two-stroke bikes, where a Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) relays airflow data to the ECU, which in turn calculates the amount of oil and fuel delivered to the engine.
