Small in capacity but definitely BIG on fun! Powered by a versatile, high-revving motor, the EX 250F is built with everything else that you'll need for great days in the dirt. We're talking an updated frame for 2025 that improves cornering without sacrificing stability, new suspension settings, bigger footpegs, and a stronger air intake for maximum performance. Having fun and going fast on a dirt bike has never been so easy.
All-new graphics spice things up for 2025 with the GASGAS logo emblazoned in black rather than white for a fresh twist. Still red, still durable, and still eye-catching, the distinctive design is applied using IML technology. This means they're applied within the bodywork so your GASGAS will stay looking super fresh for a long, long time, even if you ride in gnarly conditions week after week.
BODYWORK
All red, front to back! Incredibly ergonomic with large contact surfaces to help you grip the bike with your legs, the smooth profile bodywork encourages riders to effortlessly move around on the bike and ride with a perfect technique. There's also a super grippy seat cover, in red of course, to keep you sat exactly where you need to be when you get on the gas!
HANDLEBARS
Get on the gas and hold on tight! Not too tight though as nobody likes arm pump... But to make sure you stay comfortable, Neken handlebars are clamped into redesigned bar mounts (which are less resistant to twisting if you should hit the deck), with lock-on style, medium compound ODI grips fitted to create a comfy set-up to suit most riders.
AIRBOX
Less time working on bikes means more time riding bikes, which is precisely why you'll love the straightforward, no tools and no-nonsense filter mounting system. With a stronger one-piece design for the air intake in 2025, maximum airflow is guaranteed, and you know what that means... maximum power! Like before, accessing the air filter to inspect or replace it couldn't be easier. Simply pop the left side panel off and you'll be inside the airbox in no time.
The all-aluminium subframe is light, strong, and works as one with the new frame by helping to centralizing mass and contributing massively to the bike's outstanding handling characteristics.
FRAME
A new generation bike is nothing without a new frame, right? Taking the best traits from the old frame, which if you didn't know combined razor-sharp cornering with confidence-inspiring straight line stability, our engineering wizards have made it even better! They've improved the anti-squat behavior for maximum traction when exiting corners. Throughout the frame, the wall thickness has been revised in certain areas to improve rider feedback and energy absorption. The frame is finished with a red powder coating and grippy guards to prevent wear, which provide a little extra grip for your boots too.
WP FORKS
Every GASGAS cross country bike features 48mm WP XACT closed cartridge forks as they're just so damn good. Easily adjustable by hand on the outside, on the inside the latest technology prevents the oil from foaming for consistent performance, bump after bump. Progressive fork action, thanks to the springs and pressurized oil chamber, is guaranteed while a hydrostop helps you maintain forward momentum by taking the sting out of heavy landings.
WP SHOCK
With no less than 300mm of travel, the WP XACT rear shock soaks up the biggest of bumps with ease. For 2025, the performance of the shock is taken up a notch thanks to the new, lower friction seals in the linkage and a smaller diameter linkage bolt, to reduce a little weight. Both revisions were put to the test in MXGP, so you know they'll make a difference. Because of the new frame, the shock's settings have been revised to deliver the best damping straight from the showroom floor. However, creating a customized set-up remains super simple as adjustments can still be made quickly by hand.
Light, compact, powerful, and perfectly positioned inside the frame to centralize mass, the EX 250F motor has it all going on! With plenty of torque down low to get you out of tight corners quickly, and a 14,000rpm limit for those who like to hang onto every gear, this versatile motor really is quite impressive.
CRANKSHAFT
Up and down, round and round... life's tough being a 250F crankshaft! So it's a good job that the spinning heart of the EX 250F motor is super durable with service intervals of 90 hours. Not only designed for maximum performance, but the crankshaft is positioned to help centralize oscillating masses, which creates a super agile and lightweight feel to the bike while riding.
TRANSMISSION
Made by PANKL Racing Systems, the transmission has a shift shaft and a low-friction coating on the internal shifting fork for smooth gear changes, even when upshifting when the motor's under heavy load. Still light and durable, it's never been easier to flick through the 6-speed transmission on the EX 250F. Also, a clever lever design helps prevent dirt build-up, especially when the ruts get deep and the dirt gets sticky!
DIAPHRAGM STEEL (DS) CLUTCH
The EX 250F is equipped with a Diaphragm Steel (DS) clutch, which is robust, super reliable, and contributes to the compact engine design. Inside the clutch basket, which is CNC machined from a single piece of steel for incredible longevity, is the clutch pack that features a single diaphragm steel pressure plate instead of traditional coil springs.
Fast is fun but slowing down is essential, which is why all GASGAS dirt bikes are fitted with high quality Braktec calipers and controls. Speaking of controls, the rear brake pedal is now considerably stronger to prevent it from getting bent out of shape in a crash or catching the ground when you're railing through a deep rut. When you combine those Braktec calipers with GASGAS specific brake disks, 260mm up front and 220mm at the rear, the end result is amazing braking performance. This all means that all riders can stay on the gas longer and brake later into corners. And we all know what that leads to... faster lap times!
HYDRAULIC CLUTCH
No need for adjustment and offering a near maintenance-free operation, the best thing about the Braktec hydraulic clutch is that it provides consistent action. With free-play at the redesigned lever automatically adjusted, the biting point and function of the clutch remain constant no matter whether the motor is started from cold or used during the heat of a battle.
WHEELS
Built to take a beating, our wheels are ready to play rough. No matter how heavy the landing or how rough the track is, the silver, CNC machined hubs, lightweight spokes, and high-strength EXCEL rims deliver maximum strength for complete peace of mind.
RADIATORS
Keeping the motor cool are a set of strong aluminum radiators, which channel the air through them in the most effective way possible. A large centre tube within the frame is used to reduce the number of hoses needed and ensures a consistent flow of coolant around the engine - just what you need when you're in the heat of a battle!
Small, light, and fast at processing data - just what you need from an engine management system! The Keihin component is the best in the business and engages each gear's engine map, includes a rollover sensor that cuts the ignition during big crashes, and feeds information to the hour meter. Plus, if you install a Map Select Switch (available from your local GASGAS dealer as a Technical Accessory), it instantly synchronizes for plug and play simplicity and gives your bike traction control, quickshift and two engine maps for customised power.
MAP SELECT SWITCH
Unlock all the potential of your GASGAS dirt bike with the optional Map Select Switch. Designed for maximum control, it features two purpose-built maps, along with traction control, launch control and a quickshifter. Fine-tune your power delivery for various terrain, and experience seamless upshifts from second gear upwards. A must-have GASGAS Technical Accessory for everybody wanting to go full gas.
THROTTLE BODY
The EX 250F uses a 44mm Keihin throttle body with an injector positioned to ensure the most efficient flow of fuel mixture into the combustion chamber. But what's most important to all riders is the fact that the direct cable mounting system ensures an immediate throttle response.
ELECTRIC STARTER
The best invention since the wheel! With an electric starter fitted, this GASGAS starts super easily every single time you hit that start button. And to simplify things further and save space on the bars, the engine stop button is located in the same housing as the start button. Using a Li-Ion battery, which weighs approx. 1kg less than a conventional lead battery, you get the convenience of electric starting while the overall bike weight is kept to a minimum. It's a win, win for everyone!
