GASGAS ANNOUNCES CUTTING-EDGE MC 85 FOR 2025
NEW 2-STROKE MOTOCROSS BIKE SET TO CHANGE THE GAME IN THE HIGH-REVVING 85CC CLASS
When it comes to building high-performance 2-stroke dirt bikes, GASGAS sure knows a thing or two! So, for model year 2025, our super-popular MC 85 has undergone a complete overhaul – maximizing power from the motor while introducing an all-new frame and new WP XACT shock, to deliver confidence-inspiring handling and better stability. Not one component on the bike was overlooked by our engineers during the development process of this new generation model. The end result? A super-fun dirt bike that’s easy to ride fast for guaranteed good times!
- GASGAS comes out swinging with an all-new generation MC 85!
- New frame, all-red bodywork, and an updated motor headline the improvements
- Find the awesome new MC 85 this July at a GASGAS dealer near you
For youngsters aged between 11 and 15 years old, we know there are a few options out there when it comes to moving up to the 85 class. But at the top of everyone’s list, thanks to a long list of serious updates for 2025, should be the awesome MC 85!
The new generation model has been developed with serious input from a global team of young test riders, with their feedback allowing our highly skilled team of engineers to build what may well be the best production 85cc motocross bike ever made! And just like before, there are two options to choose from with the MC 85 – one with 17”/14” wheels for smaller riders and another with 19”/16” wheels for those kids who grow just that little bit quicker!
The main objective for everyone involved in building the new MC 85 was to make it much easier to ride and control, compared to the outgoing model. There’s an all-new frame that maximizes stability and creates a lighter feel through the turns. A new WP XACT shock for better traction when getting on the gas. A new, lighter swingarm, and new footpegs, too. But wait up, that’s not everything…
Our already awesome MC 85 motor wasn’t overlooked when it came to developing this new bike! Top-end performance was already super impressive for an 85cc dirt bike, so the focus was put on squeezing out more low to mid-range power and boosting torque. And with a new cylinder head, ignition, exhaust, spark plug, and settings inside the KEIHIN carburetor, in addition to the revised airbox for increased airflow, we can safely say it is mission accomplished. Then, to make sure the MC 85 runs at the perfect temperature at all times for maximum power, new radiators, made by PANKL, keep the motor running cool.
And, on top of all that, the motor is repositioned in the frame to help balance the bike out even more. Plus, there’s new, all-red bodywork and new graphics to match the big bikes. The side panels are now even slimmer than before too, so kids can move around much more easily to emulate their GASGAS Factory Racing heroes!
Overall, the new MC 85 is designed to look just like our full size bikes, which lets kids do their thing on a scaled down version of what they can expect to ride when they get a bit older. Trust us, little rippers from around the world are going to love everything about the 2025 GASGAS MC 85. The post-ride smiles will tell you everything you need to know about how good it really is!
Technical Highlights
New frame – All-new for 2025 to improve cornering and stability, especially when getting on the gas out of turns. Frame protectors keep it looking fresh, too.

GASGAS ADDS TWO HIGH-REVVING 2-STROKES TO 2025 MOTOCROSS LINE-UP!
NEW MC 150 AND MC 300 MODELS COMPLETE THE IMPROVED RANGE OF MOTOCROSS MACHINES
One year on from launching an all-new generation of motocross machinery, GASGAS is spicing things up once again with a revitalised line-up that includes two new 2-stroke models for 2025. Existing bikes across both ranges now feature revised frames, engine mounts, swingarms, suspension settings and linkages to make sure each one is even more fun to ride.
- New and improved GASGAS dirt bikes revealed for 2025
- Huge choice of models means there’s something for everyone
- Available in dealers from July onwards
Riders ask, GASGAS delivers! That’s right 2-stroke fans, GASGAS has introduced an MC 150 and an MC 300 to its motocross line-up! By expanding the offering, GASGAS really does now have a bike for everyone – from beginner to pro and every rider in between. The little MC 150 uses the foundations of the super-popular MC 125 but takes power – and more importantly – torque to a crazy new level for such a small capacity dirt bike.
The same can be said for the MC 300, which is based on the versatile MC 250. Offering up plenty of power, it’ll be the super useable torque curve that 2-stroke fanatics are going to love most about the MC 300! Both bikes are built using the same high-quality components found on all GASGAS motocross models for 2025. Such as the revised frame design…
Removing a little material around the upper shock mount and reducing thickness at the front end of the frame has resulted in the new motocross range shedding some weight for 2025 – 300 grams in total. These revisions significantly improve handling – especially when entering corners – without sacrificing any straight-line stability. New engine mounts further refine the frame’s flex characteristics, with revised suspension settings introduced to complement the chassis changes and help elevate the riding experience.
A stronger air intake sleeve prevents flex to maintain maximum airflow. At the rear of each bike, the swingarm is updated to enhance the durability of the chain slider, which is made from a more hard-wearing material to boost longevity. The suspension linkage now uses new, lower friction SKF seals to allow the WP Suspension rear shock to perform at its best, with a smaller linkage bolt reducing weight and playing a part in delivering the refined flex characteristics from the updated chassis.
Technical Highlights
Revised frame – Re-engineered for improved cornering while remaining stable at speed
New engine mounts – Now with cut-outs for improved chassis flex
New SKF linkage seals and smaller bolt – Leads to a smoother shock performance and saves weight
New suspension settings – Adapted to complement all of the chassis updates
New graphics – With GASGAS in bold black letters for a fresh twist on usual signature styling
New intake snorkel – A stronger design prevents air deformation for maximum power at all times
New fuel tank support – Holds the tank securely in place and prevents frame wear

Updated rear brake pedal and caliper – Improving durability for continued performance
WP XACT front fork with AER technology – Adjustable by hand and features a hydrostop to take the sting out of heavy landings
WP XACT rear shock – Light and offering 300mm of travel, the WP XACT shock is designed for maximum comfort and performance
Aluminum subframe – Strong, reliable and plays a vital role in improved ergonomics and handling All-red bodywork – Featuring large contact areas allowing improved grip and ultimate control
Hour metre – Helps to make sure all riders stay on top of maintainence
Forged triple clamps – Featuring a steering stem engineered to offer the perfect amount of flex for maximum comfort
High-performance BRAKTEC hydraulic clutch system – As close as you can get to maintenance-free, ensuring consistency and performance at all times
BRAKTEC brakes – Brake discs and calipers unique to GASGAS
NEKEN handlebars – Made from high-strength aluminum for durability and comfort, featuring large bar pad and bar bend unique to GASGAS
Footpegs – Bigger is better, keeping feet planted in all conditions
Throttle Body Injection with pre-mix for 2-strokes – Throttle Body Injection means the motors run clean, crisp and create strong power throughout the rev range
Electronic exhaust control for 2-strokes – Controlling how the exhaust ports open, the electronic powervalve helps create maximum power
Unified motor position – All 4-stroke models have the motor mounted in the same position to ensure each bike handles like a dream
Map Select Switch – With the simple press of the corresponding button, launch control, traction control, quickshifter and a choice of two maps can be engaged to customise performance. Two different maps available on MC 250 and MC 300. Standard fitment on MC 125, optional on other models

HUSQVARNA MOBILITY EXCITED TO REVEAL NEW GENERATION TC 85 FOR 2025
NEW FRAME, IMPROVED ENGINE, AND MULTIPLE TECHNICAL UPDATES TRANSFORM THE POPULAR SMALL CAPACITY MACHINE
For 2025, Husqvarna Mobility is pleased to announce a new generation TC 85 to underline its continued development of high-performance, two-stroke minicycles. The competition-focused machine is now built around an all-new chassis that offers significant improvements to handling and stability, while an updated engine boosts bottom to mid-range power. Further components introduced to improve the on-track experience for all young riders include the new WP shock, swingarm and ergonomic bodywork. Rounding out the changes, new graphics to match the full-size models create a modern and unified look for the class-leading TC 85.
With the previous generation model raced to victory in the 2023 FIM Junior Motocross World Championship, the new TC 85 is built upon proven foundations and beautifully crafted. For 2025, a new frame with refined geometry considerably improves handling and stability. Mirroring the construction of the full-size machines, the new WP XACT shock – which is 16 mm shorter than before to ensure a more balanced chassis – is mounted onto the upper frame tube. This design creates a more planted feel for the TC 85 and is a huge benefit on rough tracks and big jumps. Additionally, the steering head angle is reduced by a half degree and positioned six mm closer to the centre of the chassis for enhanced cornering, especially when exiting turns.
The 85 cc two-stroke engine benefits from several new components, all introduced to create stronger power in the low to mid-range without sacrificing top-end performance. The updates include a new cylinder head, spark plug, ignition and exhaust, with the settings inside the Keihin carburettor adjusted to suit the improved engine. Finally, when compared to the outgoing generation, the engine is rotated three degrees upwards at the front, and by pivoting from the same mounting point at the swingarm, the weight is distributed more effectively for improved cornering and jumping.
The swingarm itself is new and 300 grams lighter thanks to a refined casting process. Together, the new frame, WP XACT shock and swingarm combine to reduce the overall height of the TC 85. These changes, introduced alongside new ergonomic bodywork, ensure young riders can move around on the TC 85 much more easily, which inspires confidence and allows them to compete with improved control. In addition, a modernised rider triangle created by the new footrests, handlebars and lower seat further enhances the riding experience, making the new generation model incredibly effortless to ride.
Technical highlights:
- Revised engine – delivers a significant boost from low to mid-range power
- New frame – with revised geometry for improved stability and handling
- New swingarm – 300 grams lighter and made using an updated process for optimal rigidity
- New WP XACT rear shock with shorter travel – refines balance and stability
- New bodywork – scaled down from the full-size machines with ergonomics to suit youth riders
- New graphics – replicating the same the design as the full-size models for a modern, unified look
- Easily adjustable WP XACT forks – optimal performance and low weight
- MAXXIS MAXXCROSS MX-ST tyres – exceptional straight-line stability and excellent traction
- Two engine maps – for maximum performance and reliability in all conditions
- Formula brakes and Galfer discs – deliver best-in-class stopping power
- Miba hydraulic clutch system – consistent action and durability
- High-grip seat cover – maximum comfort and control
- Black Excel rims and CNC-machined hubs – low unsprung weight and exceptional strength

To maximise the performance and allow riders to personalise the new TC 85, a concise selection of Technical Accessories has been developed. The range includes high quality, competition-focused components for both the engine and chassis to further enhance the riding experience. Additionally, the Functional Offroad Apparel Collection features a comprehensive range of apparel designed to perform on track. This ensures all youngsters can ride with maximum comfort, safety, style and to the best of their ability at all times.

Modern design, built with the latest technology and so much fun to ride, thanks to its low weight and WP suspension, every kid will absolutely love the MC-E 2. One of the bike’s coolest features, hands down, is that it can be easily adjusted in size with only basic tools required. So as the little riders grow, they can keep on riding the MC-E 2 for longer before jumping up to a bigger bike.
Parents will love the MC-E 2 too as it’s assembled with quality components and needs little to no maintenance to keep it running sweet. Plus, the three ride modes allow for safe and progressive learning and with the motor neatly housed inside the rear wheel’s hub, there’s no better or safer dirt bike out there.
Technical Highlights
Removeable Li-ion power tool battery – Easy to remove and recharge, the universal power tool style fitment means fully charged spare batteries can be fitted quickly and easily
Fast recharging – It only takes one hour for a full recharge, with an 80% charge taking just 35 minutes
Adjustable ergonomics – The MC-E 2 can be adjusted in size – between 90-130cm – so as children grow they can continue developing their skills on the same bike, and the standard seat height of 470mm can easily be increased to 500mm with basic tools
Low maintenance – Battery-powered, no chain, no sprockets – just simple, hassle-free riding
Safety features – The motor only provides power after the throttle has been twisted forward slightly and in addition to a conventional kill switch, a rollover sensor cuts power when the MC-E 2 is laid down

Low centre of gravity – Gives the bike a very lightweight feel, making it super easy to ride
Lightweight – The MC-E 2's lightweight construction – it tips the scales at just 27 kg – means that in the event of an off youngsters can pick it up easily and allows them to ride for longer
