For riding long, flowy trails and super fun wide open spaces there may not be a better tool for the job than our awesome ES 500! Big on power, big on fun, and big on guaranteeing good times in the dirt, our biggest capacity dual-sport bike is an absolute blast to ride. It may sound like our half-liter hero is a real powerhouse, but thanks to its modern electronics, updated chassis, and supple WP suspension, the ES 500 is a really nimble steed and the bike of choice for many dual-sport riders worldwide!
Features may include:
All red, front to back! Just the way a GASGAS should be. Incredibly ergonomic with large contact surfaces to help you grip the bike with your legs, the smooth profile bodywork encourages riders to move around and ride with a perfect technique. There's also a super grippy seat cover to keep you locked in place, which works just as well when the rain starts falling and the going gets gnarly!
HANDLINGDo you want an enduro bike that offers playful handling, razor-sharp cornering, and confidence-inspiring straight-line stability? Who doesn't, right? Well, fortunately, for everyone who throws a leg over a GASGAS enduro bike, this is exactly what you'll expect thanks to some seriously clever work by the engineers who designed the frame. This bike really does handle like a dream, which reduces fatigue and, in turn, extends the fun! You're gonna love it. Grippy frame guards just above the footpegs provide a little extra grip for your boots for maximum control, even when the conditions get gnarly!
MOTORIt might be our biggest capacity and most powerful enduro bike ever, but make no mistake, the ES 500 motor makes this big-bore steed a blast to ride! All of the latest engineering techniques have been utilized to build this lightweight, SOHC motor to make sure it creates a super smooth spread of power. And trust us, it's smooooth!
PARTSFast is fun but quite often in enduro, you'll need to slow down in a real hurry! This is precisely why all GASGAS enduro bikes are fitted with the latest high quality BRAKTEC brake calipers and controls. With a 260mm disk up front and a 220mm disk at the rear, braking performance is seriously impressive, which inspires riders to push harder, ride faster, and brake later.
ELECTRONICSSmall, light, and fast at processing data! The Engine Management System (EMS) is constantly measuring, calculating, and optimizing how the motor is running and adjusts accordingly, which means you can just focus on the trail ahead. After all, that's what enduro is all about, right? Plus, as crashes are part and parcel of riding offroad, there's a new rollover sensor that stops the motor if the bike goes upside down, which in enduro can, and often does, happen!
