Overview

Introducing the 2014 GAS GAS Raga Factory Replica 280, a motorcycle that embodies the spirit of competitive trial riding while showcasing GAS GAS's commitment to performance and precision engineering. As a limited edition model, this bike pays homage to the legendary trials rider, Toni Bou, making it a coveted choice for enthusiasts and serious competitors alike. With its striking red, white, and gold color scheme, the Raga Factory Replica stands out as a symbol of excellence in the challenging world of trials, offering riders a blend of agility, power, and style. At the heart of this remarkable machine lies a potent 272.20 cc single-cylinder, two-stroke engine that delivers exhilarating performance. The engine’s lightweight design, paired with a 6-speed gearbox, ensures seamless power delivery and quick acceleration, allowing riders to tackle steep inclines and technical obstacles with confidence. The advanced Keihin PWK 28 carburettor optimizes fuel delivery, while the digital CDI ignition system guarantees reliable starts and smooth revs. With liquid cooling maintaining optimal operating temperatures, the Raga Factory Replica is engineered for both spirited outings and extended rides, ensuring that riders can push their limits without fear of overheating. The Raga Factory Replica isn't just about power; it's also a feat of engineering with its chrom-molybdenum tubular frame, designed for maximum strength and minimal weight. The Marzocchi front suspension, offering 177 mm of travel, and the Reiger hydraulic mono shock absorber at the rear, providing 164 mm of travel, work in harmony to deliver exceptional handling and stability over rugged terrain. Coupled with a robust braking system featuring a 185 mm front disc and a 150 mm rear disc, this motorcycle offers precise stopping power, giving riders the confidence to navigate technical sections effortlessly. With a seat height of just 650 mm, the bike also caters to a wide range of riders, making it accessible to both seasoned
