GasGas MC 85 17/14 2023

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

TRANSMISSION

Ensuring riders can keep in the sweet spot of the power at all times, the MC 85 features a lightweight 6-speed transmission. Additionally, and similar to the ‘no dirt’ foot peg design, a self-cleaning gear selector prevents the build-up of dirt for complete control in all conditions.

CLUTCH

Updated for 2023, we've made the MC 85 clutch more reliable and robust, ensuring that when the chequered flag is in site squeezing every last drop of power out of the MC 85's motor is super easy to do. Allowing riders to keep the revs high, the bike features a super lightweight hydraulic system by Formula, which removes the need for adjustment and delivers a consistent biting point. Internally the MC 85 has a diaphragm spring clutch, which is characterised by its single diaphragm steel pressure plate instead of traditional coil springs.

WHEELS AND TYRES

Aluminum rims and CNC machined hubs are fitted with Maxxis tires for consistent grip on a variety of terrains and track types. With the robust wheels ensuring reliability, the tires delivers exceptional straight-line stability and excellent traction.
