2024 GASGAS MC 85 17/14

Fresh spice

MC 85 17/14

Just like it's bigger-wheeled 85cc brother, the GASGAS MC 85 17/14 is the same awesome bike just with smaller wheels, making it the perfect choice for growing kids stepping up from our MC 65! In standard trim it's an exciting, full-on race bike boasting impressive performance and reliability, ideal for budding young racers to develop their skills and attack the track. Small and mighty, the MC 85 17/14 delivers a serious amount of fun.

Features may include:

STYLE

• BODYWORK

The MC 85 17/14 is lightning quick, which is why it's equipped with a full gripper seat cover (in red, of course!) to keep the rider planted firmly in position while getting hard on the gas! Complete with vibrant red plastics that are designed to ensure contact points in all the right places, total bike control is assured for a confidence-boosting ride lap after lap.

• AIRBOX

The MC 85 features an airbox that keeps the motor breathing while also protecting the filter from dust and dirt. Easily accessed, without tools, by removing the left side panel, the Twin Air filter can be changed simply and quickly thanks to our fail proof mounting system.

HANDLING

• FRAME

As they charge harder, youngsters need to build their confidence, which is where the MC 85 frame comes into its own. With geometry that incorporates tailored flex, the frame moves in harmony with the suspension to effortlessly soak up bumps and ensure high-speed stability. Further assisting riders, the 'no dirt' footpegs prevent mud building up when riding through deep ruts, ensuring foot pegs return to their original position each and every time.

• SUBFRAME

Essential to the ergonomics of the rear-end of the MC 85, the lightweight aluminum subframe contributes to the bike's overall low weight and mass centralization and features a short and compact profile.

MOTOR

Make no mistake about it, the 85cc class is super competitive, which is why we've built a motor that delivers unrivalled performance using the latest 2-stroke technology. Featuring an innovative power valve to ensure a smooth spread of power across the full rev range, it's a system that can be tailored simply and effectively.

• CYLINDER & PISTON

The cylinder is designed around the innovative power valve system, which controls both the exhaust valve and the sub exhaust port for significantly enhanced power, torque and controllability. As a result, the MC 85 delivers significant mid-range performance reducing the need to use the clutch in loamy or sandy conditions.

PARTS

• BRAKES

Holeshots require late braking, deep into the first turn. Ensuring riders can be late on the brakes and still take the line they need, the MC 85 features 240mm front and 220mm rear wave disks and floating brake calipers from Formula. Together they deliver powerful braking, consistent pad wear and give riders complete confidence.

• RADIATORS

In order to keep our high-revving MC 85 motor cool we designed the bike's radiators using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) - clever tech that allows our engineers to ensure the ideal airflow through the cooling fins. Ensuring the motor stays at an optimum temperature guarantees the highest levels of performance, across all conditions.
