Gas Gas is a Spanish motorcycle manufacturer, specialising in off-road motorbikes. Gas Gas are best known for their extremely popular trials bikes, although they also make successful enduro and quad bikes.

Gas Gas emerged from the financial demise of Bultaco when two agents, Narcis Casas and Josep Piebernat found themselves with a shop but no product to sell. So they embarked on a program to manufacture trials bikes for sale. Gas Gas have manufactured and sold motorcycles since 1985. They are leaders in the world trial market and are strong contenders in the enduro sector. The brand is known for a very high quality product and the continuous research and technical development they put into their product.

Gas Gas began manufacturing trials bikes in 1985, enduro and motocross bikes in 1989, and quads in 2002.

In 1993 Gas Gas succeeded in luring the multiple world trials champion Jordi Tarres away from Beta and he promptly won 3 successive world trials championships for Gas Gas.

Meaning Of The Name

The name Gas Gas literally means "to gas it". (To accelerate, give it the gas, turn the throttle - to go faster.)

Importing

They are currently imported into many countries in Europe and around the world, including Australia, Canada, South America and the United States.
