2017 GAS GAS Contact 280 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Engineered by GAS GAS for the trial motorcycle segment, the 2017 GAS GAS Contact 280 relies on a 272.2 cc (16.6 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke powerplant. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 76.0 x 60.0 mm (3.0 x 2.4 inches).
On the scales, the Contact 280 measures 69.5 kg (153 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 650 mm (25.6 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,320 mm (52 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 3.5-liter (0.9 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
