In a time of economic uncertainty, Gas Gas has made a bold and purposeful move, building a limited quantity of 100 examples of a special Econ model. Using new, un-used, 2008 Pro frames and 280 engines, and combining that with a Sachs rear shock and forks, and a tubed rear wheel rim, Gas Gas is offering to the public a more affordable trials bike...for only $4999. An almost $2500 savings over a new 2009 280 Pro!

The factory began building them this week, and they are expected to make it to US shores at the end of April. Of the 100 produced, only 25 will be imported into the US.
