Accessories for the GasGas EC 200

The GasGas EC 200 is an enduro bike for riding away from tarmac. On a trail, braking is part of the ride long before you need to come to a complete stop. You may need to slow for a tight turn, settle your pace before a descent or make a small adjustment as the ground changes under your wheels. That makes braking a sensible place to focus when considering accessories for this particular bike.

What riders usually fit to the GasGas EC 200

The accessories listed here are for the EC 200’s brakes, with Braking among the brands available. Off-road riding gives you plenty of reasons to think about how you manage speed, especially when a route mixes open tracks with slower, more awkward sections.

• Brakes: on an enduro ride, control often comes from a series of short adjustments rather than one long stop. Braking before a loose corner, keeping your speed in check on a downhill section and approaching an obstacle at a manageable pace all put this area of the bike to work. It is worth considering how and where you ride most often.

A flowing track gives you time to see the next bend and plan your braking. A narrow trail can ask for a different approach, with frequent changes of pace while you pick a line through ruts, stones or uneven ground. Neither situation calls for a generic answer: the useful starting point is the way your own EC 200 is ridden.

If your rides cover both kinds of terrain, think about the moments when you most need to reduce speed smoothly and predictably. That keeps the choice of brake accessories tied to your enduro riding, rather than to an accessory list in isolation. Here, braking is the focus because it plays a part throughout the route, from open sections to the last tight turn.
