2024 GASGAS v KTM v HUSKY: PRICE & PARTS COMPARO

As keyboard warriors around the world never fail to point out, the off-road models from GASGAS, KTM and Husqvarna all use the same engine and frame platform and roll off the same production line at KTM’s Austrian HQ.

And ever since GASGAS was brought into the KTM fold, it has been positioned as a cheaper alternative with a component spec and pricing structure designed to bring customers into the KTM group – in other words, fewer accessories as standard equipment and a price tag to suit.
