Exciting news for motorcycle enthusiasts! The 2024 GasGas ES 900 and SM 900 have been spotted testing, giving a sneak peek into what can be expected from the expanding GasGas range.

The two test mule is build based on existing KTM platforms but with different styling altogether.
Powering the ES 900 and SM 900 is the tried and test KTM LC8c parallel-twin engine.

GasGas, which entered the streetbike market last year with the launch of the SM 700 supermoto and ES 700 enduro models, plans to expand its range. Similar to Husqvarna, GasGas will use existing KTM platforms, but will add distinct styling to differentiate itself from other brands in the market.

The new GasGas models are expected to be either 799cc or 889cc, using the existing LC8c engine. As the current GasGas range already includes the SM 700 and ES 700, it’s likely that the firm will use the 889cc twins in the new models, along with the names SM 900 and ES 900.

Both the ES 900 and SM 900 prototypes feature new bodywork with side panels that mimic the motocross-inspired shapes used on other GasGas models. They also have similar headlights to the ES 700 and SM 700, with a trapezoid shape.
