Given that new models are usually presented between July and September, the truth is that the move makes sense, as the useful path of the model will be longer. Another detail that is repeated compared to 2015 is the launch of a single version called Racing, eliminating the most basic version. Let’s remember that until 2014 Gas Gas presented three different versions: the standard one in summer, the Racing one at the beginning of the year and the Factory (or Raga) around the month of April – May.
