Sleek Design
The MC 85 features all-red bodywork with new graphics that mirror the full-size GASGAS bikes. The side panels are slimmer, allowing for greater movement and control, helping young riders emulate their GASGAS Factory Racing heroes.
Perfect for Teenagers and Growing Riders
The MC 85 comes in two wheel size options: 17”/14” for smaller riders and 19”/16” for those who are growing faster. This versatility makes it an excellent choice for teenagers at different stages of their development. The bike is designed to be easy to ride and control, which is crucial for young riders who are still honing their skills.
