Last year Gas Gas Motos, off road motorcycle brand from Spain, was declared bankrupt by the Commercial Court Gerona being unable to pay its debts are too big. Gas Gas had to shut down all its operations. However, now there is a glimmer of hope for Gas Gas for companies from other Spanish Torrot, salvage motorcycle brand that is synonymous with the red color of the liquidation.
Torrot itself is a group of companies that manufacture bicycles and electric motor of Spain. With the acquisition of Gas Gas, then Torrot will expand its business to segment off road motorcycles. Reported that Torrot going to pay off debts Gas Gas and reached US $ 33.5 million and revive the Gas Gas factory located in Gerona. Same as before, under the auspices of Torrot, Gas Gas will still focus on developing business off road motorcycles, especially in the segment of enduro motorcycles and trial.
Create bro fan Gas Gas motorcycles made, it should be happy because the bike enduro like Gas Gas EC 300 2T will be marketed back. Although no official announcement, both of Torrot and Gas Gas, but it was revealed from the photos Gas Gas EC 300 2T which is published by the French media, moto-station. From the photos it appears that Gas Gas EC 300 2T still relying on an artificial front suspension Marzocchi upside down is also just back from the brink of bankruptcy. In the mono shock, Gas Gas EC 300 2T trust Reiger-made products, and artificial Nissin brake calipers are also embedded there. One of the interesting is already pinned Gas Gas electric starter motor 2-stroke flagship as a standard feature. If the first feature electric starter only a single option.
Now, with the new owners, of course there are high expectations on Torrot, so that management can manage Gas Gas carried well and can make this bike brand can benefit in the not too long. Not yet known exactly when the Gas Gas factory in Girona will operate again, because when Gas Gas ceased operations about a year ago, 500 employees have been laid off. How Torrot strategy in managing Gas Gas has not been officially announced. Hopefully Gas Gas really quickly re-enliven the off road motorcycle world market which is still dominated by other European motorcycle brand, KTM and Husqvarna
