A Brief History of the Marque
Narcis Casas and Josep M Pibernat entered the trials motorcycle business in 1974 with the equivalent of US$600. Their first motorcycles were produced in 1985 and by the year 2000 the factory was pushing some 9000 units out the door annually.
The firm was a Bultaco agent, and when Bultaco closed in 1980 they began importing SWM machines from Italy and became the Spanish distributor. SWM ceased manufacture a few years later, and a decision was made by the partners to begin their own marque under the trading name of their firm, Gas Gas, and based on the SWM.
The next model appeared in 1986, named Halley for the comet which passed by that year. This one bore little relationship to the SWM.
They acquired the Merlin marque in 1988.
By the end of the 1980s they were building, in addition to their now very successful trials machines, enduro and MX motorcycles.
In 2014 they began to experience problems, and after a merger with Ossa the company was bankrupted in 2015.
A new owner was appointed by the court, Torrot Electric. As of December 2018, Gas Gas is still going strong.
