Gas Gas has unveiled its first off-road models of 2011 - the EC 250 and 300 two-strokes, the Spanish company's two best-selling "enduro" models. The bikes returns to its "roots" when it comes to color, as they now feature red frames and red gas tanks.2011 Gas Gas EC 300

With a bigger tank and blue rims. Also I think they said the forks are different?
Oh no, my fine fellow riding buddy! Let us not make the mistake that a Husaberg and KTM are mucht he same: NO SO!
Look at that motor, the forks are different, the engine mapping is different, air intake, shock & valving, the color is certainly the biggest difference and the grips are different.
Now one might venture to say that the 'Berg is the test bed for KTM, but not the same.
Close, but no banana. . .
er, except those oil burners!
The Husaberg is basically a blue KTM
