Gas Gas
GasGas is a Spanish motorcycle and bicycle manufacturer specializing in off-road and trial bikes. The company was founded in 1985 in Salt, Girona, Catalonia, Spain, by Narcìs Casas and Josep Pibernat after the closure of the original Bultaco factory, where they previously worked.
GasGas was established to focus on trial motorcycles and to take advantage of the local culture of motorcycle trials in Catalonia. The first models, such as the Halley, helped GasGas gain a foothold in the trial market. The brand expanded its product line to include enduro and motocross bikes.
Throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, GasGas expanded in the off-road market. The company's trial bikes achieved competitive success, with world championships won by riders such as Jordi Tarrés and Adam Raga.[citation needed]
GasGas faced financial difficulties in the 2010s, leading to insolvency in 2015. In 2019, Austrian motorcycle manufacturer KTM, a part of Pierer Mobility, acquired a significant stake in GasGas. This acquisition brought financial stability and resources, allowing GasGas to expand its product offerings and integrate KTM's advanced technologies and manufacturing capabilities.
In 2020, Rieju acquired the Gas Gas off-road platform, continuing production of the enduro models under the Rieju "MR" name.
In 1993, GasGas succeeded in luring the multiple world trials champion Jordi Tarrés away from Beta and he promptly won three successive world trials championships (1993, 1994 and 1995) for GasGas.
More recently, GasGas won the Trial Outdoor World Championship twice (2005 and 2006) with Adam Raga. It has also won the Trial Indoor World Championship in 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006 with Raga riding.
GasGas has also been successful in the World Enduro Championship. Paul Edmondson won the 125cc world championship in 1994 and the 250cc class in 1996, Petteri Silván the 250cc and the overall championship in 1999, and Petri Pohjamo the 125cc class in 2003.
