It is true the Gas Gas company is now up for sale, but we are still purchasing parts from the Gas Gas Spare parts department, and our extensive contacts in Spain.
Fortunately most GG parts are produced by third party companies in the Catalan industrial zone and supplied to Gas Gas for assembly. This means we are now purchasing from multiple suppliers as well as direct from the GG factory, so spare parts supply is still constant.
At The Hell Team we have always strived to have THE BEST and most efficient parts supply to our customers, and we don't see that changing anytime soon. I am very confident it is business as usual while this new ownership speedbump is sorted in Spain.
I also think a new owner will be found soon, and we will see Gassers back to full production.
We can crate and freight bikes Australia wide for very reasonable rates. Ring or email with your location for freight quote.

Great news. Thanks for the info.
The reputation of the Australian distributor has had Gas Gas at the top of my list.

If KTM buys it parts should be no problem, looks like the locals might be the problem.

unfortunately KTM have a rep. For closing down factories after buying companies and moving production to Austria. So workers might have reason for concern.
It seems the more specialized trials bikes become the fewer people they are catering for, if the largest turnout at today's trials events are the lower grades and free riders are a growing market, maybe companies need to be looking closer at their needs. After all you don't sell bikes to riders in the WTC they all get given their bikes. Might help stop companies like Gas Gas getting into trouble, it seems to happen in the trials world a bit. Or it could be a normal failure rate of companies I don't know the figures.
