Overview

Introducing the 2011 GAS GAS TXT Cadet—an exceptional entry-level trial motorcycle designed specifically for young riders and beginners eager to dive into the thrilling world of trials riding. Known for its lightweight construction and agile handling, the TXT Cadet positions itself as a fantastic choice for aspiring champions looking to hone their skills on the most challenging terrains. With GAS GAS’s renowned pedigree in trial bikes, the TXT Cadet is built to inspire confidence and foster progression, making it an excellent stepping stone in the journey of any budding motorcyclist. At the heart of the TXT Cadet is a lively 72.5 cc single-cylinder, two-stroke engine that delivers a perfect balance of power and control. With a bore and stroke of 47.0 x 41.8 mm, this engine is tuned for responsive throttle feel, ensuring that even the most novice of riders can easily manage the bike’s power delivery. The liquid-cooled engine, paired with a 6-speed gearbox, offers seamless shifting, allowing for quick acceleration when navigating tricky obstacles. Whether you're tackling steep inclines or tight turns, the TXT Cadet’s lightweight frame (weighing in at just 57 kg) and low seat height of 665 mm make it easy to maneuver, giving riders the dexterity needed to tackle both technical sections and rocky outcrops with confidence. The TXT Cadet is loaded with features that enhance both performance and rider experience. Its robust CrMo tubular frame not only ensures durability but also contributes to the bike's low weight, enhancing its agility. The front and rear suspension systems are engineered for optimal performance; the 32 mm adjustable telehydraulic fork at the front and the unique variable progressivity system at the rear provide a plush ride while absorbing the harshest impacts. With powerful disc brakes equipped with two-piston calipers on both ends, the TXT Cadet ensures consistent stopping power when you need it the most. Plus, its kick starter and compact fuel tank with a capacity of 3 liters keep maintenance simple and efficient, ensuring nothing stands in the way of your next adventure. **
