Overview

Introducing the 2017 GAS GAS TXT GP 300, a formidable contender in the world of trial motorcycles. Designed for both competitive riders and enthusiastic hobbyists, this model embodies the essence of precision, control, and agility that the GAS GAS brand is renowned for. With its lightweight design and superbly engineered components, the TXT GP 300 is crafted to conquer the most challenging obstacles and terrains, making it an essential tool for trial riders seeking to push their limits. At the heart of the TXT GP 300 lies a powerful 294cc single-cylinder, two-stroke engine that delivers an exhilarating ride. The bore and stroke dimensions of 79.0 x 60.0 mm provide a harmonious balance between torque and responsiveness, allowing riders to navigate tricky sections with ease. Its Keihin PWK 28 carburettor ensures optimal fuel delivery, while the CDI digital ignition system guarantees reliable starting and consistent performance. With a six-speed gearbox, riders can effortlessly shift through gears, adapting to various terrains with confidence. The liquid cooling system keeps the engine operating at peak performance, even during the most arduous trial events, providing a thrilling yet controlled experience. The TXT GP 300 is equipped with a robust chrom-molybdenum tubular frame, offering a perfect blend of strength and lightweight agility. The front suspension features a TECH system with adjustable rebound, compression, and spring preload settings, delivering 180 mm of travel for uncompromised handling. Meanwhile, the Reiger hydraulic mono shock absorber at the rear, with 174 mm of adjustable travel, ensures that every bump and dip is absorbed, allowing for precise control when tackling steep inclines or sharp descents. Stopping power is equally impressive, with a front single disc brake and floating discs equipped with four-piston calipers, guaranteeing exceptional braking performance. **

Pros

  • Lightweight Design: At just 66.5 kg, the TXT GP 300 offers outstanding maneuverability, making it easier to handle during trials.
  • Adjustable Suspension: The ability to fine-tune both the front and rear suspension enhances rider comfort and performance across various terrains.
  • Strong Braking System: The advanced braking system provides added confidence, allowing riders to stop quickly and safely in challenging situations.

Cons

  • Limited Fuel Capacity: With only 2.5 liters (0.66 gallons) of fuel capacity, riders may need to refuel more frequently during long events.
  • Kick Start Only: The absence of an electric start may be inconvenient for some riders, especially in challenging conditions.
  • Niche Use: As a specialized trial motorcycle, it may not be suitable for other riding styles, limiting its versatility compared to dual-sport bikes.
