PurposeBuilt purely for motocross racing and off-road competition, with a lightweight two-stroke design optimized for track performance rather than any road use.
Rider FitIts very low dry weight and compact seat height suit smaller, lighter riders, typically pre-teens to young teenagers by size and skill level.
CharacterA sharp, high-revving two-stroke with premium WP suspension components that rewards aggressive, skilled riding with agile, responsive handling on rough terrain.
Not Ideal ForThis bike is not suitable for adult riders, road use, commuting, touring, or carrying a passenger.

2021 GAS GAS MC 85 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 875mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2021 GAS GAS MC 85, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and an upright riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
