- GASGAS sells a two-map switch through its dealers. GASGAS calls Map 1 super mellow and perfect for slow, technical sections, and recommends Map 2 for deep mud and softer track conditions where you need direct response.
Setup and skills
Bike choice is only half the story. Gearing, tires, suspension setup, and clutch control change the bike more than most riders expect.
